“I’m so excited about this trip.”

Renee Sligers praised her team as Arsenal beat Crystal Palace in the Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) with a 5-0 win at Meadow Park.

The Gunners overcame a turbulent first half thanks to a four-goal win in the second half. Sligers made early substitutions to help Arsenal’s faltering momentum, something fans have barely witnessed under Jonas Edvall.

“We talked a lot about problem solving, communication, and how momentum changes in a game,” Sligers told the media after the game.

“This was a challenge for us today, so to see the players applying the things that we’ve really worked on over these two weeks and that we’ve worked on on the training pitch. It’s really good to see that and it means a lot to us because we’re going into a very tough set of games. “

The five-goal win not only shows Arsenal’s threat in front of goal, but it also marks the team’s fifth straight clean sheet in the WSL.

“From a tactical point of view, we have not changed much in our organization,” Sligers expressed. “But we’ve worked on things from a psychological perspective, our mentality, and the aspects we focus on in our games. Hopefully that will have an impact on our defensive performance.”

Fans enjoyed the first permanent display of “Slegers-ball,” and it was certainly a heartwarming sight. The Gunners have continued the momentum they quickly gained before the Christmas break, but Slegers are determined to take the team to the “next level”.

“I think we have a great team with great players and different qualities in the team,” she said. “We want to go to the next level, we really want to go to the next level. We have something very exciting with the staff and players at the moment and we are doing things really well but I see the potential to take us to the next level.” “The level as a team, so I’m very excited about this journey.”

Alessia Russo was back on the scoresheet once again, scoring her seventh goal in six consecutive league matches. The England striker now trails only Khadija Shaw – by just two goals – in the Golden Boot race, despite not scoring in the first five weeks.

The head coach said about Rousseau: “I am very happy that she scored the goal again today and this is important for her.” “She does a lot of things out of possession without the ball and it confuses the opposition. I don’t think we’ve got what we really want to get out of her to the max. It’s not even her best game.

“But if you can say she’s this good and she scores that goal but we still think she can do more, that sums up Alicia. She’s still young, working hard and at a really high level but she can go.” “Farther than that.”
