Sonia Bompastor reflected on a 2-0 win in the League Cup semi-final over West Ham. 00:00 - Really pleased with the win and being on our way to the final, never easy. 00:49 - I never think like this, I’m more focused on the next game on Sunday. If you get to the final and you don’t win, it doesn’t mean anything. 01:34 - Keira is a top-class player. Having Keira for sure is a big impact. I think she did well, had a great game. 02:33 - When you play three games a week, you have to be able to rotate. Easier for me to manage. 03:17 - In that situation, you just don’t give any hope to your opponents. 03:55 - I’m not sure, maybe before the international break. She needs to build her fitness to get back to the squad. Really happy with the players in the squad right now so don’t need to rush. 04:35 - Yeah, it’s a nice luxury. I think it’s also good for the player not to come into an environment where you feel the pressure. 05:19 - Having Keira in the squad will bring the opportunity to play with only one pivot. I want to give them the structure but also the freedom to rotate. 06:14 - Not really. It’s only been one week, but everything I saw I already knew about it. 06:48 - Second half we dropped our standards a little bit. 08:06 - She got a yellow card and as a defender, you never know. 08:41 - I think today was a bit different. In the second half, we struggled a little bit and putting high pressure. 09:10 - No illnesses. Not from what I know at the moment. 10:01 - She’s important because out of position, she does an amazing job. 10:47 - Not really surprised. She’s always 100% on the pitch and she works really hard. 11:53 - We improved the competitiveness in training sessions and also in games. Now they really have this winning mentality. 13:15 - I only look forward, don’t really look to the past. It’s a new era. 14:21 - (Question about transfer window). 14:53 - We have the opportunity to let the talent speak. 16:07 - The way the ownership and sporting directors acted shows the ambition we have
