“Be it football or hockey, whatever it is, we want young females to feel that sport is a space for them to enjoy themselves. It doesn't have to be at a competitive level, either.”
“Lyon's mentality and their drive to win is undoubtable.”
“All we can control is what we do, winning matches.”
“It is natural to think it is worse than it is and say 'ow is she staying on the pitch?' when a player is down for a long time without moving.”
“We'll never change the way we want to play no matter what form we're in. It's who we are and it's who we identify ourselves as.”
“If my goalkeeper gives a pass away trying to play out from the back, that is not something I am going to shout or scream about, because that is what we do, that is how we play, and we want to do that.”
“I'm very proud of where I'm from and who I support.”
“My mum has struggles with her hearing and I've grown up with her wearing hearing aids.”
“Listen, I'm not stupid so I am fully aware of the teams I've played for, and knew I'd gone from one side of Manchester to another. I was almost prepared for negativity. But then when people cross the line and make threats, that's when it becomes a bit much.”
“I think it is massively important to have a doctor present, so there should be a doctor present whether you are the home or the away team in the WSL.”
“We want to play the right way and do things properly, the Manchester United way, we'll go out to win games and with the ball on the floor.”
“We have got world-class players in the Women's Super League and too many of them have been going under the radar without the opportunity for pundits to analyse their performances in detail.”
“I am happy with who I am and I've realised how important it is to show the person behind the player, because I don't want kids coming through to feel they have to hide themselves in any way.”
“Sarina is special in a lot of ways. As a coach, she's top. She's open to listening, she wants every player to be themselves and bring their best every day on and off the pitch. That's all she asks for.”
“I grew up in the game.”
“I watch the defenders in particular and I am an admirer of Mapi Leon.”
“Casey will always expect high standards whether she's on the pitch with you or managing the team. She's a fantastic role model.”
“Maybe I have a different story to other people, but I never struggled or suffered, being a girl.”
“You never underestimate any team at a World Cup, it'd be so stupid to do that.”
“I know it might sound crazy coming from me but I actually feel sorry for referees in the women's game. They're not employed as full-time professional officials and yet they're often criticised or given a hard time over decisions they've made.”
