Bunny Shaw Exclusive: Man City is better equipped than ever to compete for the women’s Premier League title | Football news

A few strikers in global football have the proportions of many ways, the ingenuity of the registration of Khadija Shaw is confusing. It is difficult to determine a quantity like anything other than strange.

Jamaica International is once with the talent of generations.

Despite the management of only 892 minutes of football in the league last season, she scored 12 times, which was sufficient to share the best scorer award with Alicia Rousseau from Arsenal, who reached the same outcome but played twice the minutes.

The exceptional SHAW rate, a goal every 74 minutes, was the best return to any striker through the top local league championships in Spain, France and Germany last year.

If it remained decent, it would have been expected to end with a total of 26 strikes – WSL record for one campaign is 22.

However, the Manchester City campaign was generally young by the predicament and indifference. “We left the games last season, knowing that the results retreated from our fingers,” says Shaw exclusively Sky Sports From a secret angle of the media day in Man City.

“We have suffered from injuries, but I am not one of making excuses. We were not good enough,” she added.

The city’s story was listed 2024-25 through a lens of contradiction. Good individual results – eventually overcoming those who qualified in Barcelona in the Champions League group – was undermined due to long forms of bad models. Good individual offers challenged by the team’s exhausting state on a larger scale.

Shaw joined the treatment room by Vivian Medima, Lauren Heimb and Alex Greenwood, among others, for large sectors of this season. City could barely suit the eleventh in March.

Perhaps the next part was inevitable. Or perhaps the course under Gareth Taylor has just reached its natural end. Either way, the director formed the impact of dissatisfaction and was rejected five days before the final league Cup meeting with Chelsea, who was lost by the city.

For the club, the Silver Manchester City size is a pre -condition. Not only pretending to compete – reaching the finals is nice but not enough if the prizes are not followed. Things became old and the time was clear.

“This season is not about it, it is a strict work,” Shaw continues. Her dialect is convincing. “Last year was modest, we are 100 percent serious about what we want. Not playing now.”

City replaced Taylor to André Giglirz this summer, a progressive coach who prefers offensive football. This means adjusting elegance as well.

While Taylor loved the patient’s accumulation, using the ball to wear the teams, Jeglertz prefer a direct way to the goal.

“With André, it comes to how ourselves are in the best position to move forward. If this means that it takes two paths for the goal, we have to do that.” An interesting development of the spin -shaped model.

“Andrei wants us to win and we will provide freedom, whatever this, and I think attacking the players is thrived in this way.”

Show has thrived in WSL for years until now, regardless of the city’s style or play. Its instinct in the box pose a threat to any opposition caliber, including Chelsea, who faces the city on the weekend live. Sky Sports.

“If we can get it properly on the field, we can be killer, then we can be uncomfortable if we focus on the exact details the manager wants. Certainly, you will see the goals.”

Warning, then. The supercar from OPTA agrees to the threat of City, as they expect them to wear disappointment from 2024-25 to become before the ruler of European champions Arsenal – but still behind Chelsea.

“We will attack the league, that’s right,” Shu. “It is all about consistency, this is what was missing. If we needed uncomfortable conversations, we will hold them.”

City used a total of 27 players last season – close to the height of the league – with an average age of 25 years 313D – the lowest level in the league. The lack of experience was actually as they ended 17 points of Wselseaa winners, with the worst percentage of each game since their first campaign in the competition a decade ago.

It will not be tolerated with such a gap this time.

“We were doing the same for years, and now the change has already happened, it is a shock to start. But the energy was higher, of course when you don’t know what you expect to give everything to learn.

“Our mentality should be about crossing the line of desire and knowing that we can win. We have time to prepare games without Europe so that it is our only axis.”

As for football, City Way has always had a school book. It is not surprising that we see City playing the lowest number of percentage of long passes (6.4) from any side in the league, and the highest percentage of short passes (93.6).

City also scored 15 high -quality league goals last season, thanks to the strength of their vast and intelligent players in Show, while they were more repeated more than open play than Chelsea.

“I can close my eyes and know where hemp (Lauren Heimb) will cross the ball. This is something we built. I call it my faith.

“They are the little things they don’t see more important. More than goals, it’s the timing of running and pressure, forcing defenders to mistakes. All this is important. Once I mastered something, I try something else. I always want to be better.”

Many have changed in the city this summer after the disturbance season. Jeglertz may be defending a new style and leads higher standards, but it will want more star striker – it can be said that it is the best WSL.

JEGLERRTZ must increase this special concession to the maximum. And if you can, we will really have a title race to remember.
