Boss Emma Hayes believes it is presumptuous for the USWNT to expect success at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Emma Hayes, the coach of the USWNT, has expressed her belief that it is “disrespectful” to assume that her team will automatically win gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Hayes, who recently took charge of the USA’s women’s team after leaving her position at Chelsea in the Women’s Super League, is now working with one of the most talented squads in women’s football. The team is currently based in Marseille and will be facing Zambia, Germany, and Australia in the group stages.

Hayes has been focusing on the team’s training sessions in Provence and is pleased with the progress they have made. She emphasized the importance of staying focused on the process and not underestimating any opponents.

In particular, she highlighted Zambia’s ability to transition from defense to attack, stating that their structure will be crucial in dealing with this threat. The coach refused to entertain any complacency and stressed the need to take each game as it comes.

She emphasized the importance of winning the first game, then the second, and ultimately topping the group before thinking about anything else. Hayes believes that assuming success and talking about reaching the final would be disrespectful to other teams, as women’s football has developed significantly worldwide, and there are many top football nations participating in the tournament.

Hayes called for a reframing of focus and a greater respect for the rest of the world in women’s football. She believes that success cannot be taken for granted and must be earned through hard work and dedication.

As the tournament approaches, Hayes and her team are determined to approach each game with the utmost respect for their opponents and give their all to achieve their goals.
