So she

Global Sports Podcast Network
We know that out this squad and make it competitive, why not? It's been very nice to see the evolution of the squad. Obviously, with the purchase of Michelle last year, with the beginning of the last season,
00:08:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Michelle, we already have two teams already, so one States and one in France. In France, the Lyon, right?
00:08:34

00:09:57
Nat
I wanted to add that in London City Lions milita Asliani, the captain, and for our listeners and fans of Italy and fans of the Serie A, he has been in Milan for several times. I remember that at the beginning the championship, went to the opening of the championship with Newcastle, the London City Lions, in the new stadium that they are using, which the Bromley.
00:10:26
Nat
wendy There a lot of London City Lionses, before had the stadium very far from London, but far from the London City. Now they are still south, they are more easy to arrive with public transport. So also been an attention a little higher.

In fact, she has understood how she has moved, as you said, original London City Lionesses, which was very east of London,
00:13:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
not more London because it was already SS Kent
00:13:51

London City Lionesses' Accessibility Improvements
00:14:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
But if you go to public transport it was really difficult.
00:14:29
Nat
Thank you.
00:14:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
In other words, the location of the day is much more accessible there are the usual shopping weekend, the train in London. Altrimenti è molto più accessibile. Scendi dal treno, fai un pezzo piedi e arrivi allo stadio.
00:14:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
E mi piace che Michelle City so Academy e fare crescere tutto questo esattamente come ha fatto con le altre squadre.
00:15:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
The game is presented in this way and

But it's very holistic, so yes, brave Michelle, brave to them, brave to all of us. let's conclude on the WSL.
00:16:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
United. I wanted to go Chelsea, since it's a small spot for Chelsea, and I loved them. I wanted to see them that they had the sixth consecutive squad, the first time in Sonia, etc.
00:16:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I knew that the Arsenal-Manchester United was
00:16:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you it or do I say
00:16:31
Nat
okay Dilo tu, dilo tu, sei nel treno dei pensieri, vai, vai sul treno.
00:16:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
it? I'm the train, I'm in the train, I'm in the train, I'm in the train, I'm in the train, I'm in the train, because...
00:16:41
Nat
No, no, ma perché stai dicendo cose giuste?
00:16:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Secondo e terzo posto, cosa succede? Praticamente per quanto riguarda la della Champions League la terza squadra...
00:17:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
entrano poi praticamente nelle come si dice in questi round che sono praticamente le qualificazioni ok quindi non vanno direttamente a
00:17:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
The game is a beautiful game. It ended up with a 4-3 of Arsenal, 7 goals, but... The Arsenal that was 3-0, the Manchester United that then recovered, a rigorous, everything.
00:17:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was a great game. It was a great game.
00:17:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was very cold, all happy, it was really beautiful see how it is evolving the world of women's culture. And nothing, it was all that.
00:17:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
So this was my conclusion of the WSL.
00:18:00
Nat
um maybe car same bre ah yuritoro alfaic two second dema say malovvinjiirran a look conim low ah ah But I in of Chelsea, in the contrary, was
00:18:35

a
00:18:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, but it was a conscious choice, in the sense that there was no
00:18:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
quin diion on chapen mevin shivalardan vi manchesterter lost detaco ah massapivoqueserre besttatoam partitta viramineul to combat tu I knew that the Chelsea would have fought a bit because, although they already had the title in hand, they wanted to push the points to the point.
00:19:11
Nat
Christy, just saying.
00:19:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
They wanted to reach 60 or more than 60, they could have another record in that sense. So I knew that they would have done it.
Manchester United's Trophy Ambitions
00:19:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Manchester United for the final of our Italy Cup, so they were definitely more relaxed, because Sonia certainly wants to bring home triplet and win the two Cup and the Scudetto.
00:19:41
Nat
I'm going to go.

00:20:57
Nat
see
00:20:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it seems that
00:21:12
Nat
No, it's a good thing, because I didn't have these pearls. Intanto, as you said, we were talking about Ternan taran ne Parma, and and then we will go to Genoa. Always red and blue, but different, I would But red and blue remains, a guarantee there ehm la visto anche i risultati e penso che
00:22:01
Nat
I think that at the and it um took way an lutimoan no del forto And, A, change.
00:22:38

But also the series B expand. venta pepi col minraeriasis sp The championship will also have and there will be classic and return for a total 22 days.

00:24:52
Nat
name. What do you think, Kate?
00:24:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh my God, where do I start? All right, I would say a couple things about this. One, I would like to congratulate you to Genoa. It's very interesting because they also have the red and blue shirt.
00:25:11
Nat
It's what I said, the red and in the end, in a way or in the other.
00:25:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, I would say, very interesting. Triunfo comunque, super interessante su questa cosa, però devo dire una cosa, mi è piaciuto molto che la federazione ha messo un post sui social scrivendo congratulazioni Genova benvenuta in Serie A,
00:25:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was beautiful to see that the social media of Bologna has commented saying congratulations, it was beautiful battle until the
00:25:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
But it's really beautiful, really beautiful. Seconda cosa, il logo. Allora, io, a parte che non sono molto una fan, né del nuovo logo della WSL, né anche del nome.
00:26:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Secondo me WSL,
00:26:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Serie A, women, anche. Non sono molto... so nonono moto um don't like the logo, the logo of the O'Shawn of a time, very similar.
00:26:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
When look at it, I say, but O'Shawn? Ah no, it's the series Women. um
00:26:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe they are more propensable to open the market, even internationally, etc. But...
00:27:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
chei that are in Italian, that makes a little bit of a pronounce the name, but they like this, this is a little bit of an exotic, etc.
00:27:20
Nat
Vero? Concordo. yeah
00:27:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
So this is a little bit of a confusing because I say, if you have done it because you want to open a international level, you have asked to who is not here what the appetite is
00:27:28
Nat
and god
00:27:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I'm a confused. like to talk to who decided this. Anyway, the debate on we do in another episode. No, it's a pleasure. I'm...
00:27:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah not miar mifaia cheated so no me faia shiranque del facttoque ilforma kambbiraic man post to forma del delfato camcha tu puntu civ vid I but I think that for creating a more competitive match, no.
00:28:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that there are many other European championships that are strange at certain point, British and British in these things. 12 squadrons, who have more points wins, who have less points retrocede, and just finish it.
00:28:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's a table at the middle the mediocrity where they save people and just save them. For the rest, I'm excited of
00:28:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
And nothing, it's all here. So, more on the Coop, etc., we will give you the opportunity to talk more about this. And
00:29:17
Nat
You wanted to launch the commercial for what I was in total silence waiting for you.
00:29:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
I said that we have talked about this. No, we'll talk quickly. We wanted to mention two things. One is the Godison Park. Maybe you want to mention one?
00:29:34
Nat
All right, God is on Park. Two days ago, in reality, the news came out a like the changes in terms of logo.
00:29:46
Nat
Leverton, which one of the clubs of the WSL,
