The London Paul coach, Sam Bird, said her team “undoubtedly” will win the Premier League final and revealed that she is already considering defending the title next season.
After controlling the normal season, Pulse beat LoughBorough Lightning 53-45 in O2 on Sunday to take the cup for the first time in the club’s history.
Bird was now with the club for a period of five years, after he took his team on the one hand, he finished the league bottom in 2019.
“There was doubt that we will not win today,” said Bird. “Really in the changing room, if we do everything correctly we can do, then it was for us to lose it instead of not winning it.
“We knew if we do our basics correctly, and we got our prayers properly, and we have this amazing defense and everyone knows.
“But we have enough respect for LoughBorough to know that they could drown in two points. Sammy and ELLA were very strong today and they were very smart in the examination, so we could not get around the ball.
“We still know that the two -point shots were a threat and this is one of the new rules that pose a major challenge for coaches, because you can never relax.
“I am very proud because we are the smallest league team, so to win offers only from where we can go from here and my direct thinking,” We are winning this year. “
The result was very special for Pulse as it was in their original city in front of a crowd of records, and 10 years of the final were played for the first time in their normal home, The Copper Box Arena.
“I have a real rapprochement with London,” Bird added. “I went to university in London. I worked in London all my life.

“I feel that this is the place where I should be from, and since then, we have just recruited talents, found our talent, brought talent through the path and I saw only evidence of five years of hard work.
“It is very amazing to play here, it’s very high. It is amazing, it’s the sport we love and this is what we want. We want this more and more, and it was special for everyone.”
Team captain Zara Evert has been with Pulse since 2020 after spending one season in Lightning and was a steady performer inside the side.
But she is also very special for her, because she did not only win alongside her friends, but also her 16-year-old sister.
“It is a very surrealist matter – if you can write it, this is what you were going to do,” Evert said. “It seems to have been a long time ago, we have worked hard.
“We got a lot of support, especially this year, and there was a real expectation that we will win, so the fact that we were able to absorb all of this and put this wonderful performance today, I am very happy.

“But this is a crazy feeling (to play with my sister), I never believe when the court exceeds me because I still think it is 12 years old. It has had a great impact, and only the depth we have on the team appears.
“It is clear that Hallis (Halemat Adio) did a tremendous job for us throughout the season, but Darssi was there, she was ready and ready to go. I was very proud of her and all other girls as well.”
However, for lightning, their dream in the first three champions in the league had declined in the last quarter.

This year, Captain Nat Banajari celebrated this year with the team and the seventh final with them. Despite the destroyed result, Panagarry was excited about the future of the network after the fans of the fans.
She said: “He will give birth for a long time, but I think that with your age a little, you also realize that someone wins, loses someone and you should be on the back sometimes.”
“I was very disappointed by the things that we set, but we hope that the fans would have enjoyed it and this was good. For me, the exit and hearing these fans were incredible, to say that I did it in O2 is something that I will never forget.
“The network ball grows as we prove that, the fans are there and we have support. I think this is what we have to continue to do as players, we have to continue to make the offer, and we have to continue to make offers and hope to continue to find us.
“You can say with the Premier League about the teams that were there and the growth we have, there is still a long way to cut it to me and I cannot wait.”
