Sonia Bompastor’s extraordinary start to life in the WSL continues at Kingsmeadow. It was Chelsea’s eighth win in as many league games and opened up a five-point lead over second-placed Manchester City at the top of the WSL. Scarily, this form is coming at the beginning of the French manager’s tenure, when they should be in transition, while the players are still getting to know the former Lyon manager and her style of play.
“For my perfect vision of the game model we are not where I want to be,” said Bompastor. “That’s normal, it takes a lot of time. I’m quite happy with the defensive stuff, when we are out of possession. In possession, there is room for improvement. It needs to be better if we want to control the game and be dominant.”
