I think looking through the cap accumulation
of the team, there’s been a lack of
development of putting players – some of

It’s a balanced roster. I’ve considered
all the factors that we’re gonna need

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
