Of course, it’s nice to start scoring but I don’t think about anything anyone said about me, because one day they hate you, one day they love you that’s life. “Once I settled into the team off the pitch, that’s when I started to play well on the pitch. It was less than two years since Kerr squandered several chances against Manchester City in the 2020 Community Shield, as the Australian scored only once in her first seven appearances for Chelsea. When Guro (Reiten) headed it to me, I thought, ‘This is going to pop up perfectly for a volley’, and I just thought, ‘I’m going to hit it’.” That’s one of my strengths as a player - I try things that maybe other players wouldn’t try and catch people off. “The second goal is, it sounds crazy, but I try that type of stuff all the time in training.
