Blues beat Reading to secure fourth straight WSL title‘This has definitely been the hardest year’
Emma Hayes credited the “fear of losing” as her motivation after her Chelsea team lifted a four successive league title and third back-to-back league and FA Cup double.
“The fear of losing drives me more than the will to win,” she said. “This has definitely been the hardest year. I’m relieved that it’s over, for lots of reasons. I’m a bit sad because winning the league and relegating a friend doesn’t feel good in my soul, with who I am,” she added, after Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat of Reading also ensured the Royals were relegated to the Championship.
