When Emma Hayes walked into the press conference room after Chelsea’s 3-2 extra-time defeat of Manchester City in the FA Cup final, she had Ji So-yun’s shirt in her hands. It was signed ‘To Emma’ and the manager placed it on the table in front of her in tribute to her departing midfielder.
The South Korean, who has been at the club for eight years and is one of Chelsea’s longest-serving players, has been telling Hayes she wants a statue.
