“The NWSL is a new challenge that will certainly be more intense and more difficult because of the stiffer competition. Everybody can beat everybody. Every match will be a fight. That’swhy this will be different, especially compared to managing in France. Claiming that our expectation is to win the championship would be pretentious for my first year. I want my players to train hardand to play hard for every minute of every game. If we do that, the results will take care of themselves.”
