""Even if we all know we can't control anything of that, we probably felt it was unfair to receive that amount of criticism," said Bompastor. "I know who I am, I don't need people outside my environment to tell me who I am. I will always make sure I give my best. I know I have the competence, I know I have the knowledge, I know the women's game and I do my best for Chelsea.""
""I'm not saying I'm the best one, I'm not saying I'm arrogant, but I know who I am. I always make sure I support my players in the best way possible. "My job is to make sure they go on the pitch with clarity on what they need to achieve. No-one is going to disturb me on my confidence.""
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor faced intense pressure after successive defeats left the club 12 points behind WSL leaders Manchester City. The club announced a four-year contract extension 48 hours before a decisive away match at Tottenham, signaling clear support. Chelsea won 2-0, with Keira Walsh scoring before half-time, which eased scrutiny and allowed Bompastor to assert her competence and commitment to the players. Chelsea now prioritizes securing a top-three WSL finish to qualify for next season's Champions League, responding to rival results that increased urgency earlier in the weekend.
