What did the managers say?
Emma Hayes: “It’s business as usual for us. Preparation is what we prepared at the start of the season. We haven’t won leagues comfortably in the past – so from our point of view nothing is different. From our previous experience we always knew it was going all the way to the last game.”
Kelly Chambers: “What’s the point of me getting out there on Saturday if you give up or don’t believe it now? There’s still a ray of hope for us and we have to do everything we can. If we lose to the better team, I can accept it – what I can’t accept is that I can come out and do everything we can. is that we don’t fight for anything.”
