“This is definitely a goal worth analyzing from a technical perspective. She scored one against Brighton last year from the edge of the box, but to see her run and strike with her weaker foot—although I don’t believe it’s much weaker—was simply stunning. I hope she reviews that moment because we want to see more goals from her.”
When discussing the budding partnership between Hini and Zigi just a few weeks into their first season together, the manager expressed that the team is aiming for a level of understanding that feels almost telepathic.
“We need to nurture our midfielders’ connection to the point where it becomes second nature. We’re getting close, as they continue to learn each other’s tendencies—how they prefer to receive the ball, their movement patterns, and their defensive responsibilities,” Skinner shared. “Ultimately, I want to elevate that relationship so it becomes instinctual, allowing them to play off one another. This will enable our team to be far more creative on the pitch.”
