Russo Urges Arsenal to Kick On Ahead of ‘Massive’ Part of the Season
London, January 31, 2025 – Arsenal striker Alessia Russo has called on her teammates to step up as they enter a crucial stage of the season. With key matches looming in the Women’s Super League (WSL) and other competitions, the England international believes the team must maintain momentum to achieve their goals.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures, Russo emphasized the importance of consistency and resilience. “We’re entering a massive part of the season, and we need to be at our best,” she said. “Every game is important, and we have to keep pushing forward to stay in contention for silverware.”
Arsenal are currently battling at the top of the WSL table alongside rivals Chelsea and Manchester City, with the race for the title tighter than ever. They are also preparing for crucial matches in the UEFA Women’s Champions League and domestic cup competitions, making this period decisive for their campaign.
Russo, who joined Arsenal from Manchester United in the summer of 2023, has been a key figure in the squad, contributing with vital goals and performances. Her leadership on and off the pitch has been crucial for Jonas Eidevall’s side as they look to end the season on a high.
“We have the quality, the depth, and the belief in this team,” Russo added. “Now it’s about delivering when it matters most. We need to take things one game at a time, stay focused, and keep improving.”
Arsenal fans will be hoping Russo’s rallying call sparks a strong run of form as they look to challenge on multiple fronts. With tough fixtures ahead, the Gunners will need to show their strength and determination to secure success in the closing months of the season.
