\n Read more<\/span> <\/p>\n \u201cThe international break was long so we\u2019ve missed the players but the players have been working really hard with their national teams, so it was good to get them back and have a full week together and I think to prepare for this first game,\u201d our head coach said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe circumstances were hard with the pitch and the wind. We had to deal with that and manage it so it wasn\u2019t always the best technical football passing game that we\u2019ve ever played but we had to win today, we had to do business today and we pride ourselves on defending.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have another clean sheet, so really proud of that and we should be really proud of that as a team because we do it together. And then we score an early goal in the first 15, and we score a late goal. Gamechangers. I\u2019m really happy with how we found a way to win today in difficult circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n Ren\u00e9e touched on the togetherness and it was a real squad effort to get the three points with starters and finishers involved in our goals.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we most of the time make five changes,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s really important how we start games for us, but we always know that often business is done at the end of games. You have to be really good at the end of games and high energy and high quality. That\u2019s what we had today.\u201d<\/p>\n It was a sellout fixture at Copperjax Community Stadium in Bromley but much of the noise came from the Arsenal supporters, some of whom were sat right behind Ren\u00e9e\u2019s dugout.<\/p>\n \u201cI think there was 1,500 today so almost one third of the crowd was Arsenal and they were sat close to us so we could hear them very clearly, so it was amazing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
