The continuous WSL dominance of Chelsea is not surprising and why is Man UTD really impressive

It is surprising that it is surprising that we see Chelsea again is the dominant force in the title race this season, in its course of sixth consecutive victory even after the bids are made Emotional farewell to the club Emma Hayes icon last May.

Chelsea has set a pace since the weekend in the 2024/25 campaign, where it won nine WSL games over the bounce and a somewhat smooth move to a new era under the leadership of Sonia Bombastor.

The Blues is still not defeated in the league, as it got 44 points from 48 possible to open its eight points at the top-and if it played a game more than their closest competitors. In all competitions, 23 games from 25 games, with an ideal score so far in the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup, are waiting for the final against Manchester City at the end of next week.

“I will not say a surprise,” Hyton’s response was when asked before 90min If there is anything unexpected about Chelsea’s continuous domination.

Summer recruitment was proactive and strong, while Bombastor – although he was new in English football – was a winner of the elite crops in the former Lyon club.

“They started the season really well and burning. I think that with the presence of the new manager, you’ll get a look.

For a while last season, Chelsea seemed as if the Wsl title would finally slip out of their grip until they re -increased them to Manchester City, where he concluded things on the last day of the season. The special feature of a wonderful team wins regardless of what was not a defect per week after a week, as you will get six out of 14 wins from WSL by one goal difference.

“Chelsea has been known in the past few years for being a truly and ruthless clinical, and they certainly did this this season,” Hyton added.

After Manchester United slipped back to fifth in last season – his worst end in WSL so far – a few have expected that they would be the closest Chelsea competitors in 2024/25. But even after many outstanding departure last summer, strong employment and defensive hardships discovered, similar to what led the title challenge to 2022/23, United has returned.

His victory in their game is on hand against Liverpool on Friday night that would reduce the gap to Chelsea to five points, with the husband also confronting each other in the village of Lee Sports next month.

“I was influenced by Manchester United, and what caused me more admiration is their defensive side of the game,” said Hyton, one of the best backs in the world at its climax.

“They are constantly keeping clean papers, which is very important when you want to be near the top of the league. It is clear that they did not get football in the Champions League this season, so you get a chance to prepare during the week a little more.”

90min Met Houghton, whose shoes in 2024 were suspended after a great profession with Sunderland, Arsenal, Manchester City and England, at the Rushbrook Academy, an elementary school in East Manchester, where it was helping to give young girls an early football taste last Friday.

The event was part of the fourth annual of the FA The largest football session everThe first major activation of the new Made for this game The campaign aims to overcome the current success Let girls play Opening equal opportunities for women and girls in football.

“This relates to females and young girls participating in football, not only about sessions like today or on the field, but the largest image of a woman who is allowed to be part of football,” Hutton explained, pointing to all different types of roles in this sport.

“This is their game as well, and whether this is a journalist, being in the meeting hall, being an employee, I think it is very important that females have a place in our game. Really, because this game has started a lot in the past few years, especially in this country, and seeing girls here (in Manchester) today is very special.”

Since the launch of FA Let girls play In 2021, there was an increase of 56 % in the number of women and girls who play football, 88 % in the number of coaches that are being developed, and growth of 113 % in the number of female referees. Outside the back of the win in Euro 2022, Lioneses has succeeded in pressuring the UK government for equal access to girls in football in school.

The driving force behind Made for this game It is the idea that girls have exceeded the request for permission to play, and instead, they now enable them to have places in football they deserve.

However, a study in 2022 revealed that nearly half of the girls (43 %) who consider themselves “athletes” in the classroom semester of sport after moving to high school.

“It is great opportunities for girls to attend and play football, to know what looks like, to make new friendships. The thing, we need to make sure that people can stay in the game as much as possible,” explained Hngton, and he determines a big challenge still waiting in this regard.

“This may not be on the field, and it may be in a different ability, and it is greater. The more we can see it and promote it, it is very important for the future of the game itself,” said Hyton.

England has succeeded in the field in recent years-and Assad reached the semi-finals or best in each major championship since 2015, including winning the Euro 2022 and competing with the last World Cup final in 2023-he was directly linked to a popular football boom.

For Houghton, the continuous success in England is “important” with Euro 2025 on the horizon next summer, but efforts to develop the growth of women’s football in the country need to continue regardless of what is happening on the field in Switzerland and future championships.

“I think we need to continue to pay it regardless of England’s offers,” she said.

“This is important for future generations and the future lion, which we give them opportunities for such a next campaign and see what is like.

“You never know that these girls who have never played football before will come and taste, and they believe that they can participate in the game in the future.”
