But, you know, I think since then we've kicked on, obviously won the Continental Cup.

And it's been really nice to see the team improve and progress.

And obviously, you know, making new additions and new signings.

Obviously, with Sam coming in, it's freshened up the squad.

So, yeah, it was an exciting time.

And, you know, we were getting results, even when maybe we weren't particularly playing the best football.

We were still getting results.

And that's all part of, you know, having momentum

and winning when you're not playing well and that's the most important thing when you're trying to win titles so I really enjoyed watching the girls and actually seeing us score the goals or you know even when it's getting a bit tense for me because I felt a bit like a fan I was a bit like oh how's this game gonna go you know I felt that kind of urge of you know nervousness when I was watching so yeah I think I think we've done really well and you know we'll just have to see what happens and what decisions are made but I think it's an exciting time to be part of Chelsea

Yeah, it is nice.

It's nice when you're appreciated and you're part of a club that appreciates you a lot and the fans appreciate you and other fans as well who just want to see you play and want to see you doing the thing that you love to do.

For me, there's nothing better than playing football.

And, you know, I've really missed it.

I've really missed the feeling of going out on a pitch.

Anyone will tell you, you know, how much I love to train, you know, how much I love to win.

I'm really annoyed after training if we don't win.

So, you know, I think everyone knows how much I've missed it.

And it's been...

nice like I said to be kind of like a fan but at the same time it's what I want to do and it's what I love to do and now I'm coming out to the end of this illness I know now how much I've missed it and how much I want to be a part of it and want to be involved and you know it is nice when people are still saying you know when you haven't been around for a long time like me or you know haven't been active much on social media that people are still saying oh we miss you it's like you know people know that I'm still here and I'm still you know wanting to play and they want to watch me play it's a real compliment.

Oh, that's a tough one.
