Скачать или смотреть Emma Hayes on USWNT Depth, Alyssa Thompson’s "Clutch" Goal & WNBA Support | Presser

USWNT Head Coach Emma Hayes breaks down the tactical shifts and "bench difference" that led to a gritty victory over Colombia to secure the SheBelieves Cup. Hayes specifically highlights Alyssa Thompson’s consistent, "clutch" performance—translating her Chelsea form to the national stage—and praises the defensive tenacity that secured another massive clean sheet against world-class threats like Linda Caicedo.

This 20-minute presser goes beyond tactics, touching on the cultural weight of women's sports. Hayes expresses her support for WNBA players during their CBA negotiations and shares a touching story about veteran Rose Lavelle making a young fan’s dream come true. On the pitch, Hayes emphasizes the growing maturity of the squad, the successful integration of young talent like Lily Yohannes and Emma Sears, and the vital role of the "Triple Espresso" (Rodman, Smith, Swanson) as the team builds toward World Cup qualifying.
