"I'm really pleased with the reaction we showed on the pitch during the last two games. I think in both games we were the better team. We created a lot. We couldn't score more than one goal at the weekend, but at least we created a lot of chances, and if we stay at that level, we'll be in a better place in the future."
"The most important [thing] is the character we have shown in the last two games. I'm very open with my players. I will always protect them in public, but when I have to analyse the game, and we haven't performed at our best level, I'm quite direct and honest with them. When I tell them something didn't work, I'll also make sure I'm the one who is giving them simple things to achieve, and for that reason, they maybe think, 'okay, Sonia is with us, we didn't have the best performance, but we are all together'."
Chelsea defeated Paris FC 4-0 in the Women's Champions League, with Sandy Baltimore, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Alyssa Thompson and Erin Cuthbert scoring by the 63rd minute. The win followed a 1-0 league victory over Tottenham and two prior draws, showing an improved response and stronger performances. The coach emphasized team character, provided direct analysis while protecting players publicly, and set simple objectives to fix shortcomings. With the match under control by halftime, squad rotation occurred in the second half, allowing Sam Kerr to receive valuable minutes as she returns from a long injury lay-off.
