"Obviously I'm disappointed at this moment and even more when I see how we started this game. I really liked the first 20 minutes of the first half. The organisation was good. The intensity increased. It started to become harder for us. We played Arsenal, the champions of Europe, so of course we expected a tough game. But I think we are able to do better than this."
"We have the capacity to adapt to the WSL. Fortunately, we recruited some players who know what this intensity is. Now we just need to create a team. I have a lot of a job to do to create cohesion. Many of the players only started a week ago,"
"really hard to play against."
London City lost 4-1 to Arsenal in their Women's Super League debut after taking an early lead from a Kosovare Asllani penalty. The debutants produced a strong first 20 minutes but conceded control as Arsenal asserted their quality. London City earned promotion last season and invested about £3 million in transfers over the summer. Several key signings and arrivals either missed the match or had only trained a week before the fixture, and some notable players were unavailable. Manager Jocelyn Precheur emphasized the squad's ability to adapt, the need to build cohesion, and the importance of time for new players to settle.
