Renee Slegers: Arsenal boss reveals secrets behind success as Gunners attempt to keep pace with WSL leaders Chelsea | Football News happymamay

Arsenal team turned under René Siliger. No team has won more points (21) in the Premier League in 2025. The rate they score past opponents (3.6 per game), and the design of these goals is very cool.

This is from a group that seemed completely free of confidence at the beginning of the season. It lacks imagination and creativity, which weighs as pressure from expectation rather than to flourish with it.

In an era, the Dutch Arsenal won 37 points from 14 WSL matches, two shy of Chelsea leaders during the same period. Gunners currently occupies six points behind the Sonia Bombastor team in running for the title, although the gap can decrease in half if they overcome Leicester on Tuesday evening, and live on Sky Sports.

It is difficult to remember that the manager has such an immediate effect. Of course, the coach’s Slegers promoted some continuity after working with the former coach’s technical team Jonas Eidevall since September 2023, but her imprint as Arsenal leader is no less impressive.

Slegers recognize freely, as she was sitting in a comfortable position in her office on Arsenal Training Land, the transition from the temporary head to constantly took longer than expected – however, the rise in the results was not very shocking.

“It is difficult to say what I was expecting. What we wanted in my temporary course is to make the team go again, stability with consistency. We did it. The temporary period was longer than what I expected but we put ourselves in a good position if we look at where we came from. I am really happy.

“We did a lot at first about our culture and behaviors. This has already gone faster than I expected. We have developed our game organically as a result.”

The current form is the perfect boundary. This is the best victory in the league in the league since seven consecutive victories between October to December 2023. Stretch back, won 10 of the last 11, just dropped points to Chelsea.

Arsenal threatened to leak from the WSL Foundation in the first parts of this campaign, but the story of the return forced the fans to re -participate. This is how the ages become unforgettable. A team in a crisis that reconciles in a team in the competition can be a special thing. Slegers definitely have a wave moment.

“The biggest victory was the way the royal team took,” she says. “They were very designed to bring something more. Their mindset was very good these two months and they were very excited to work together to make things better. I am very happy because he went in this direction.”

Nothing about this moment of excellence in the arsenal was by chance. Sometimes, the team was scrap, came from the back, clinging to tight progress, playing less than the natural Slegers style, but those components have built belief. Energy arsenal is really a novel.

First, we have built faith by proving. We have found a perfect mix of faith by proving that we can do things, and confidence in that we know that we can achieve something more. We use those special moments – fighting against West Ham, we come from behind against Liverpool, and hit Real Madrid – as examples and continue to strengthen them. ”

This was really the only way. Slegers knew that she had to break the inherited hook cycle from the evevall era and begin again. No side offers, just work.

“I see the world and football through my eyes. I am a different person for Jonas [Eidevall]. I have come from something else, apply myself differently and you will always be like this. It is normal for things to change if the group and football are seen through the eyes of another person.

“What I have learned is that it is good for me to be calm, we communicate well like this, within the team and the employees. It was a success factor that I really want to continue. If I was presenting myself in a calm way, I can organize my thoughts, and we can be sharp and effective as a team of signs on the touch line.”

Arsenal has returned. The 85.7 percent SLEGERS victory is the highest of any major coach in Gunners, who got 10 excess games. Forty -five goals from WSL scored, most of any team since its appointment, is just an example of this positive noise.

She even started numbering the Bombastor bubble. The “Best Newcomer” award in the league In reality It will be to trade. Who thought that? There is no more compliment given the extent of Chelsea’s performance unabated.

Ultimately, the spoils of this campaign may be few in terms of concrete silver tools for the jar. But progress and the development of harmony are clear for everyone to see. “Fans bring other things, emotions and energy, but I want to be a calm presence. In moments of pressure, this is what the players need,” stresses.

Some victories, at the present time, may feel more important than prizes. Football joy, reorganization with fans, suspense in the Champions League semi -finals against Lyon at the end of them. Anything will be an unexpected reward.

However, it is not bad for WSL for the first time.
