Hayes defends team selection for USWNTs defeat to Japan - Soccer News
""I'm a developer of players, and they need to go through these things. It'll get us one step closer to where we are, but we cannot always simply play just for the result. But yes, we don't like to lose.""
""Listen, when you've got eight seniors on the field, these things are a little easier.""
Emma Hayes made 11 changes to the USWNT for their match against Japan, focusing on player development. The team lost 1-0, ending a 10-match winning streak. Japan's Maika Hamano scored the only goal. Despite outshooting Japan, the USWNT could not equalize. Hayes emphasized the importance of giving younger players experience, stating that results are not the only priority. The team will continue their series with Japan in Denver on April 17th.
