Heather O’Reilly: “It Is a Wonderful Opportunity to Play at the Sinigaglia, It Adds Value for Women’s Football in Como and Italy”

Ahead of the match between Como 1907 Women and San Marino Academy, which will take place on Sunday, December 14, at 2:30 p.m. at the Sinigaglia Stadium, Head of Women’s Football Heather O’Reilly commented on the event: “ Every time we do, it is an honor for the players, and fantastic visibility for the community to see these incredible players live. The players train hard every day and are putting on a great product, and more exposure to it only adds value for football here in Como and across Italy”, continuing then with the right attitude to have: “Football seasons have highs and lows. Sport is like that because it is an art of human beings, and all the things that go with it. What is critical is hard work, consistency, and respect, and the team has great leaders who have led us through any storms. The important thing in football is to not let the tough moments stick around too long and get back on track as quickly as possible, and we have done that” And the progress of the season: “We are incredibly solid from front to back, and we are creating many chances every single game. Confidence in front of the goal will be important, as well as game management,  as many teams are after us now and treat our game as the biggest of the season.  We need to ride that emotion and prove that we are true professionals and see games out. A combination of winning the physical battle and the mental one is what will separate us. Being focused on the current moment is huge because we do not want to think too far ahead.  That is dangerous. We still have over half the games to play and a lot of time. Constant communication and respect between the team and staff will help with those goals. We have many capable people working with us, on and off the pitch, as long as we work in the same direction, I believe we can be unstoppable”. 


The big match on the shores of the lake is scheduled for Sunday, December 14, at 2:30 p.m., with free admission at this link: https://tickets.comofootball.com/fixtures/femminile.
