Renee Slegers says it is only half time in Arsenal's Women's Champions League semi-final against Lyon, after defeating the French side 2-1 in the first leg. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:06 - It’s only half time. 00:56 - Lucky today?: No. The first goal is hard for a goalkeeper, it was hard to see. The second goal is good pressing. 01:52 - Tough words at half time?: No. Great work by the staff with being flexible. Collaboration is on a high level. 02:57 - low crosses: Lyon are extreme with their physical power. The strength they have. Always looking at details to exploit. 03:36 - Wide players: very happy. We showed we have a diversity of tools. Foord created so many issues. Olivia did well today. Hope to have Beth and Chloe back soon. 04:37 - Timeline: Beth no timeline. Chloe hopefully for second leg. 05:00 - Ability to adapt: We’re in a really good place. Things change during games. 05:38 - Comebacks: the intelligence we have in the squad is so valuable. 06:11 - Preparation: it starts now. We have Leicester on Wednesday. We’re used to the schedule. 07:08 - What’s important is the here and now. We can’t look back or too far ahead. Focus on the moment. 07:54 - Smith: love working with her. I’ve been really impressed with her. 08:32 - Williamson: planned she wasn’t doing 90. Happy with the impact. 09:03 - trusting players: We had a clear plan. On the pitch, players can choose the best options. 10:06 - Smith fouls: physicality in duels is fine but when I react naturally I’m thinking of the players health. 11:24 - Tactical changes: there were positional details to make it harder but it’s also about the execution on the pitch. 12:04 - player movement: we did so much this week. We have a lot of players recognising the space. 12:52 - Did Lyon physicality surprise you?: They are the most physical team. They brought their game today. 13:43 - Catley back?: We’ll see. Kelly was minor issue. 14:37 - Confident in defence when subbing off Williamson: I trust the players. It’s so important. @HaytersTV – Foot
