\n Read more<\/span> <\/p>\n Asked how exciting this occasion will be in her pre-match press conference on Friday, our head coach said: \u201cWe look forward to it. We’ve been talking to the players about connecting with the crowd and starting in the warm-up because they’re going to help us in the game.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to bring something to them, so that connection is really important for us. The earlier people can be at the stadium, the better, so we can share this occasion and make the very, very best out of this tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n \n Read more<\/span> <\/p>\n One reporter at the Sobha Realty Training Centre asked Ren\u00e9e about the momentum we have with us at the moment, having won 10 games in a row in all competitions with Tuesday\u2019s 3-1 victory at home to Chelsea in the UEFA Women\u2019s Champions League quarter-finals.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery game is a game in itself,\u201d she replied. \u201cWe have to keep on doing what we’re doing and fuel ourselves with the belief that we have and all the things that we’re doing at the moment that are contributing to our performances and results.<\/p>\n \u201cThere’s a lot of big and small things that we’re consistently doing at a high level. That’s what we’re pushing and we want to keep on improving. This is another game, so everything that we’ve done before won’t count in this game.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’re going to attack this game together with the supporters. At the moment I think around 45,000 to 47,000 tickets have been sold. We’ll be there together with the supporters and we’ll be shoulder to shoulder. We want to give them everything we possibly can and they will give it back because this is a very special game. I think it will be a very special occasion at Emirates tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s the old cliche that form can go out of the window on derby day, and that\u2019s what Spurs will be hoping for following back to back defeats to Manchester City and Everton.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to bring what we always want to bring; our basics, our foundation of who we are, we want to bring that to every single game,\u201d Ren\u00e9e continued. \u201cYes, there’s something special about this game. We have to play the occasion and use the occasion.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we are so strong because we are very much in control and in our controlled middle, task-focused and in the present. That’s what’s bringing us good performances at the moment. That’s what we want to bring tomorrow as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
