Emma Hayes revealed to the media today that the USWNT job was the only one that could lure her away from the West London club.
“I’ve spent 10 years of my life at Chelsea and it was probably the only job that would take me away from Chelsea.”
She also said “I’ve worked at this club for six grand a year and then 12 grand a year, money has never been a motivator in my career” when asked if money was what made her choose to move to the USA.
When asked about Saturday’s opposition, Hayes commented “Liverpool won’t come to Stamford Bridge intimated in the slightest and they are a fantastic team with a fantastic manager (Matt Beard) who has titles to his name…Liverpool are one of the most improved teams in the league along with the likes of Spurs and Brighton.”
Speaking about her squad’s injuries leading up to the game, Hayes confirmed that Melanie Leupolz and Guro Reiten will most likely miss the game through injury as well as Catarina Macario and Katerina Svitková who are long-term absentees.
When the Blues boss was asked about having three games in the last six days she didn’t see any major issue. “We are so used to doing it, the players like back-to-back games, and at the end of the day we’re not the ones who schedule a Wednesday night game arriving home at 4:30am to have a game on Saturday at 1:30pm.
According to liverpoolfc.com, Matt Beard will be unable to select Jasmine Matthews, club captain Niamh Fahey, and Yana Daniels.
Chelsea will be looking to continue their brilliant run of form in the league currently at five wins and a draw in six games and on the back of a 2-2 draw in Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
