Obviously, winning the bronze medal at the World Cup was unbelievable.

And I think also winning the WSL, well, both of them, but in my first season at Chelsea, I joined obviously late.

I joined halfway through the season and it was really cool to go on the journey with the girls and be part of that first, you know, win title.

And then obviously the year where we won again.

But I think being part of that journey and

coming in late and being able to fit in the way I did and was able to score in the last game of the season when we won.

I think that was really special, but the bronze medal was unbelievable.

Yeah, I think so.

I think there's a lot more expectation and a lot more pressure than there was.

Obviously, when I first joined Chelsea, I just came from Reading, who were in the WSL 2, wasn't full-time.

you know, not many of the girls were getting paid really to play.

So, you know, for me joining Chelsea after the World Cup and after, you know, everything went a bit bang for me, I think there was a lot of expectation and pressure.

And as kind of the women's game has grown, there's even more of that because, you know, we're getting more fans, we're getting more media attention, not just for Chelsea, but for England as well.

I think there's expectation, but it's what we've wanted all along.

We've wanted the game to grow and we've wanted to be put on that level.

So now we have to step up and deal with it.

I think...

I think I dealt with it okay.

I think it didn't really hit me while I was at the tournament because we weren't really aware of anything that was going on back home because obviously the time difference, you know, everything like that.

I think being noticed a bit more was a bit strange to start with.
