Jeglertz after the 4-1 against Inter Women: “We’re having fun, this way it’s easier to win”

A clear 4-1 that tells more than just a simple result. Jeglertz, coach of Manchester City Women, commented on the club’s official channels about the victory achieved in Monza against Inter in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, the first European win for the English side this season.

The match began with Inter taking the lead, which was overturned already in the first half by a brace from Fujino. In the second half, Casparij and Clinton sealed the result, with all four goals coming from City’s fluid play. For Jeglertz, that fluidity is no coincidence: it reflects the positive atmosphere in the training camp.

“The way we create and score chances, and the way we play football, shows that the players are enjoying themselves. That’s exactly the point. We need to be happy to go to work and do what we know how to do well. It seems they are doing just that, and so you have a better chance of winning football matches,” said the coach.

Among the protagonists of the evening, one above all caught the coach’s attention: Blindkilde Brown, the English international who set up the go-ahead goal scored by Fujino with a precise pass behind the opposing defense. Jeglertz praised her performance with clear words: “She was truly outstanding. Her match was one of the best and she often maintained a high level of play. I always know what I get from her and what the team gets from her, but today was a special day. Maybe she should have scored even more, but she should be very proud of her performance.”
