Embracing the Now
Renee Slegers, the interim head coach of Arsenal Women, is taking a refreshing approach to her new role by focusing on the present. Despite having recently guided the team out of a winless streak, she insists that thoughts of securing the permanent position are not on her agenda.
First Challenge Ahead
Tomorrow, Slegers will lead the Gunners into battle against West Ham in their first Women’s Super League match since the resignation of former manager Jonas Eidevall. The team comes off a 4-1 victory over Valerenga in the Champions League, but they need to turn around their league form after a draw and a loss left them in sixth place, trailing leaders Manchester City by five points.
Staying Focused on the Task
In a recent statement, Slegers emphasized the importance of living in the moment, saying, “It’s something we talked about with the players… can we be as much as possible in the here and now because that’s what we can impact.” Her focus remains on the upcoming match rather than the long-term future.
West Ham Clash: A Must-Win
As Arsenal prepares to face West Ham, who are still in search of their first win this season, Slegers is determined to improve their goal-scoring record. The Gunners have only managed to find the net once in their last two league outings, and Slegers is hopeful that Alessia Russo’s recent Champions League goal will spark a scoring spree for the striker in the WSL.
Looking Forward
With the international break looming and a challenging fixture against Manchester United on the horizon, Slegers is keen to secure three points against West Ham. She stated, “That’s the main focus – to keep on getting our forwards in good positions to be able to get the ball into the back of the net.” The Gunners are ready to fight for victory this weekend.
