Emma Hayes has challenged any other team in the Women’s Super League to compete with her Chelsea team for the title.
Hayes, who is leaving for the United States, is entering the final week of his glittering 12-year tenure with the Blues and a fifth historic WSL title is within reach.
The replacement of brutal fortune. Last week, Hayes declared that the race for the name was “over” after Chelsea’s dramatic 4-3 loss to Liverpool seemed to give Manchester City its name and confirm that Hayes’ farewell would be without titles. But there was another dramatic turn in the race. when Arsenal stunned City with a definitive victory at the Joie Stadium.
The 8-0 defeat Chelsea’s goal against already-relegated Bristol City put Hayes’ side firmly in the driver’s seat, with City’s huge goal difference wiped out. Another win against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night is pivotal to ending Hayes’ final season with the club with at least a silver piece.
“You can’t win everything every time,” said Hayes, who is leaving Chelsea to coach the U. S. women’s national team.
“But to be able to compete for our fifth name in five years, I’d love to see another team do it in the next five years. The reason I say that is because no one understands how smart it is to keep winning. “.
“Competing for that, that’s all I was looking for for the team to be a component. I just need her to enjoy the next two games. “
First, Chelsea harboured quadruple hopes for Hayes’ final season in west London, adding a maiden Women’s Champions League trophy, the only piece of silver that eluded Hayes during his time at Chelsea.
But a ruthless month of disappointments and eliminations from all 3 cup competitions means that any silver medal won this season by beating Tottenham Hotspur and newly crowned FA Cup champions Manchester United will win the seventh league of their career.
“If you ask Manchester City, they will know they were in a commanding position,” Hayes added. “They had to get a result at home and they didn’t. A week is a long time in football. “
Hayes will be Mayra Ramirez, Jelena Čanković and Lauren James for their match against Tottenham, which they lost 4-0 to United in the FA Cup at the weekend.
