Chelsea and Kerr ‘get things done’
“I’m not known for my worldie goals but the thing that I’m known for is getting it done when it matters”, the showboating but incredibly humble Sam Kerr said after her two goals in Chelsea’s 4-2 victory over Manchester United helped clinch the WSL title. “The most important thing for me is scoring goals and making sure the team is at the top of the table when the season ends,” she added. As she spoke her manager Emma Hayes, with the biggest of smiles, nodded. Because this is the crux of Chelsea’s success. Hayes has recruited supreme talents, Kerr being one of them, but she also focuses on team players, players with the right attitude, players, like Kerr, who see themselves winning even when things are not going their way. From the opening day 3-2 defeat to Arsenal, the Chelsea players never doubted they would lift silverware come May. SW
