Renée: “We want to win more trophies” | Interview | News

Wednesday’s 1-1 draw away to Brighton & Hove Albion saw the title race come to an end in the Barclays Women’s Super League as Manchester City were crowned champions.

Renée Slegers was naturally disappointed following the match in Crawley, and says there will be plenty to reflect on in our end of season review.

“Disappointed, of course,” she said. “We set ourselves a goal to keep the league alive until the last playing day, and we needed three points today. We weren’t successful with that, and I think the first half was tough for us, the second half much better, back in the game, great momentum, created some chances, but not enough today, so, disappointed, going to do everything we can to get the second place in the league, and also congratulations to Man City.

“There’s plenty of learnings and at the end of the season we’ll do a bigger end of season review on all different parts of the season that has been, but of course we want to win more trophies for Arsenal and for the fans, so we’re going to do everything we can to be better next season.”

With three games still left to play, the focus now turns to ending the season on a high to reward the supporters who are travelling to Aston Villa and Liverpool, as well as those attending our final home game of the season against Everton.

These matches remain important in our effort to finish second and qualify for next season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League group phase.

“Yeah definitely, and there’s a lot to play for, for us, and we want to get the second place in the WSL, so that’s really important,” Renée said. “So we’re going to do everything we can in these last three games.”
