"The mentality is really special in this club. We have this winning mentality, and that is what made the difference last season between us and the other clubs. I want to make sure we carry on from that and that we are in a better place. It won't be easy, and I know that."
"When you come in as a new manager into your first season in a new league, everything is new. People are probably not expecting you to do too well and perform in the job as I did, and as we did in the team and the club, but now it is not a surprise anymore. Everyone wants to fight and compete against Chelsea, and we need to be ready mentally and physically, and tactically and technically to compete."
Chelsea enters the new WSL season focused on preserving a winning mentality under Sonia Bompastor after completing a domestic treble and an unbeaten league campaign. The team set a new WSL record with 60 points and Bompastor recorded an 86% win rate, the best in the competition's history, becoming the second manager to lift the WSL trophy in her first season. Chelsea have won six consecutive WSL titles and are forecast by Opta to top the table in 72.3% of simulations. The campaign opens against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, with Mayra Ramirez sidelined by hamstring surgery and Lucy Bronze and Lauren James unavailable for the opener.
