“We’re very fortunate that we have a manager of the women’s national team that is very much invested in our youth talent pathway. Every camp I do, I have a list of players that Emma Hayes wants to see, and we do high-potential reports on those to present to Emma, Denise Reddy and Lisa Cole. In terms of a game methodology … we’re very aligned. It needs to be age specific, but the principles of play — how we want to press and build and create opportunities — is very much similar to what Emma is doing.”
