Chelsea defender Niamh Charles discussed the team's ambitions post-Emma Hayes, her favorite American foods and more in an interview with NBC.
titles and six of the last seven. No team had ever won more than three straight Premier League titles until the Blues did so to end the 2023-24 campaign.So, when that happens, where does the motivation to keep winning stem from? How do players keep themselves hungry after achieving loads of accomplishments?
"I think we've been really clear that we want to win everything and we know it's going to be really difficult, but for sure, I want to help the team as much as possible in that and hopefully improve and get a lot more out of myself."A native of Merseyside, England, Charles got her start in Liverpool's youth academy as a teenager, with Everton another club in the mix for her.
Charles had ambitions of making Liverpool's first team around 16 to 17 years old, but she also had to keep a different factor in mind due to women's football not exploding just yet like it is now. Along with four league titles to her name, Charles also has three women's FA Cups, a League's Cup and a PFA WSL Team of the Year nod to her name on top of winning the Finalissima as part of England's squad. She's certainly made a career as she enters her prime, though she's also entering a new chapter with Chelsea, which opens the 2024-25 league campaign on Friday, Sept. 20 when it hosts Aston Villa.
"I think Emma had built something over such a long period of time that she was able to be quite tactically fluid," Charles started."Whereas now for the whole team, it's really important that Sonia's really clear, specifically how she wants to play. And I think she's been really good at that, sort of explaining her game model really clearly and really simply so that we can all get on the same page as quick as possible.
