Chelsea Women vs Man City Women: Clubs meet in the League Cup, the WSL and the women’s champions League in 12 crucial days | Football messages

It is not an exaggeration to say the next two weeks to make or break the seasons of two of the largest clubs in English football.

Chelsea Women and Manchester City Women will fight four times in three competitions in just 12 days, starting with the final of the league cup on Saturday.

After speaking publicly and privately to players on both sides, it is fair to say that the teams know that after these games they will either have everything or very little to play.

Let’s start with Man City, who are looking for your season.

Gareth Taylor was released on Monday, with the club currently missing the Champions League football twice in three years.

Nick Cushing, who led City to her only WSL title nine years ago, is back and the squad insists that you are in a good place.

A team meeting took place on Tuesday morning, in which the expectations for the rest of the season were repeated and optimism retained.

When you talk to the Big Signing Kerolin Nicoli in January this week in January, think that City is the favorites. She believes that they have the talent and the belonging together to consistently defeat Chelsea regardless of their recent struggles.

The players have to support this because four bad games and it is almost a game for their season.

The Champions League excretion that lost a cup final could see that the FA Cup is a lipstick of a pig of a campaign.

As for Chelsea, just listen to your head coach Sonia Bombastor.

She wants to win everything and the final on Saturday in Pride Park as potentially the beginning of a special era in the club.

Chelsea players do not think about their disappointing record in competition. They only focus on serving a further memory of why they are the best team in the country.

Bombastor is open to the fact that she wants to win the Champions League – it is clear that the squad believes that you can do it too.

But if you want to raise the trophy in Lisbon in May, you have to do it on the hard tour.

They stand in front of old rivals Man City, potentially play champions and recently in the Nemesis Barcelona in the semi -finals before a final that could be against Arsenal or Bombastor’s old Club Lyon.

With a great advantage in the league, European fame should be a priority in terms of team selection until the end of the season.

Of course, after the final of the league pass on Saturday, this is not only going home with a shiny new trophy, but also hope that this season is reminiscent.
