Hello and welcome to Blue Royalty a London

this Blue podcast dedicated to the Chelsea Women's team I'm your host

Jess upon Humphreys joined today by Abdullah Abdullah we are here bringing you a little Champions League group preview.

We're going a little bit early on this one but just obviously because of timings

Chelsea's first Champions League group game is the 15th of November and we'll be sort of

bringing the Everton review before then so we wanted to get ahead and sort of do a

rundown of the teams that the Chelsea are going to be facing

across the next couple of months. So whether you're listening to us on the Blue

Royalty Feed or the London is Blue Feed, thank you so much for tuning in.

If you are listening from the London Blue Feed, please do go over to Blue Royalty and subscribe.

You can get all of our episodes on that feed. And whilst you're there, if you want to leave a five-star review we would be very grateful but to start the show

Abdullah I think we need to revisit obviously the news from Saturday which we did talk through in the episode after the Aston Villa game

for anyone who doesn't know Emma Hayes announced she was leaving in that game if you want like sort of a detailed breakdown of our initial thoughts,

go back and listen to the full episode from Saturday, me Abdullah and Ollie sort of ran through it.

But how are you sort of feeling now, you know, a couple of days after this had a chance to process the news maybe a bit more?

Probably a lot of it is still the same, a little bit like like okay it it makes sense you know look you've

you've been there 10 11 years you've practically won everything besides the

Champions League one four titles in a row, domestic cups. I mean, I think as I'm a hay as you're like.

All right, I get it. I mean, I can move on and the US women's national team was probably the second or biggest job in international football.

It's not generally in football right now. And to kind of take them from what looks like the next cycle starting and obviously not winning the last

World Cup I think it's a good chance for to be able to stamp her authority and kind of build a team

around the way she wants and she's got obviously the 2024 Olympics and the 2025, you know, 2024, 2025, you know, got a couple of big international tournaments
