I think looking through the cap accumulation
of the team, there’s been a lack of
development of putting players – some of
the less experienced players – in positions
where they can develop that experience. , Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference.
And I think it’s important that we have
to do that to take the next step, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference.
It’s a balanced roster. I’ve considered
all the factors that we’re gonna need
throughout the Olympics and (it’s)
one that I’m really happy with, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference.
Having a roster that could adapt is
essential. You have a tight turnaround
between games so, of course, having
players on the roster who can play more than
one position mattered with squad depth, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference
