Mayra Ramirez<\/a> and is looking forward to returning to the scene of the celebrations.<\/p>\n\u2018Of course, it brings back a lot of positive emotions and really good memories,\u2019 she continues. \u2018All of us are excited to go back to that stadium and play a game where we won the league last year.<\/p>\n
\u2018It’s always nice to go into a game with good memories like that, but with that being said, we know it’s a new game and we want to perform well. It\u2019s about being 100 per cent focused on the game plan. These early matches are super important.<\/p>\n
\u2018The season is long, and every point counts, every win counts. Just like last year, we know anything can happen. Playing good football and performing well at the beginning of the season is super important, both for confidence and to be able to build a good feeling, and then try to keep that up. <\/p>\n
\u2018You don’t want to dip too early, and I think maybe we did have a bit of a dip last year during the winter. If that had come earlier, we don’t know how the season would have turned out.\u2019<\/p>\n
While the Blues hold a good record against Manchester United, last season saw us battle to a duo of 1-0 wins in the league, in both home and away games.<\/p>\n
Rytting Kaneryd knows that Marc Skinner\u2019s side will provide a tough test, but is confident enough in Chelsea\u2019s abilities to be able to focus on our own strengths to overcome theirs.<\/p>\n
\u2018It’s going to be a tough game for sure,\u2019 she says. \u2018We know Man Utd; they’ve been playing well in the last couple of years. They have a strong team with good individual players. But actually, every game in this league is tough. It doesn’t matter if we play Leicester at home or if we play Man Utd away; it’s about our performance, it’s about our mentality, and it’s about our game plan. <\/p>\n
\u2018If we can bring the positive things from the weekend, create a lot of chances, and at the same time, not give them too much hope in their attacking play, we have a good chance to win the game.<\/p>\n
\u2018To play against a team with a low block and who are good defensively is always a challenge.<\/p>\n
\u2018The key is for us to be patient, to be brave on the ball, and move the ball quickly. I think that’s how we create our chances. It\u2019s positive for us if we can bring the tempo up and really play with intensity.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
