Alessia Russo

Alessia, another big performance on the score sheet once again.

What's going on at the moment with all this confidence within yourself as well?

I mean, we're playing well, we're playing good football and I think that breeds confidence in everyone and we're winning as well.

We're grinding out results in different ways and yeah, everyone's contributing in different ways.

So I think the feeling around the whole team in general is just really positive.

But what is it about your game this season?

Because it feels like you are, you're popping up in different spaces, the way you're turning, holding the ball.

Is there certain things that you've been working on?

Yeah, we work on loads all the time.

I've been trying to work on staying central as long as possible.

I think when I was younger and more in the nine or in the ten, I'd drift a little bit wider and I want to be in the box scoring as many goals as I can.

So that's something that I'm always working on and varying my game, coming to feet.

I like the ball at my feet.

I like holding the ball up, but also trying to make a few more runs in behind to stretch their back line.

So

Yeah, trying to work on lots at the moment.

To be honest, I probably can't put my finger on it, but we're training at a really high level.

And I think, like I said, there's just a positive feel around the team.

Everyone's got the confidence to do things, whether it's playing out from the back or turning on the ball in midfield and setting up an attack.

I think everyone's just in a good place and everyone's fit and wanting to contribute.
