WSL: Will City win the title? ‘Anything is possible’ says Jill Roord
Jill Roord, midfielder for Manchester City, expresses optimism about the Women’s Super League title race, stating that “anything can happen.”
The team concluded the year with a win against Everton, positioning them in second place on the table, trailing leaders Chelsea by three points. With 10 matches played in the 22-game season, City aims to improve on their fourth-place finish from the previous season, where Chelsea secured their fourth consecutive WSL title.
“I personally don’t like to look at the other teams,” said Roord.
“I think we need to look at our own games. We have some time off which is good for everybody. We are in a very good place.”
Has City been written off?
Roord said she felt “fine” if people write them off.
“I don’t really look at what other people are saying. If they see us as the underdog I’m fine with that,” added Roord.
“We can just focus on ourselves. [Victory over Everton means] we are in a really good position and everything is possible for the second half of the season.
“As players you want to win titles or cups, especially in this club. It’s not that easy in England as there are many good teams but I think we have the qualities to make that happen.”
