Martin Johnson, England's World-Cup winning skipper, believes there is no huge mystery to being a great captain. If you haven't got a good team it doesn't matter how good a captain you are. To suggest that calm, sure-footed leadership is irrelevant in top-level sport, however, is another matter. Even the greatest sides need decisive, intelligent direction, regardless of who supplies it.
Above all, we have to play for PSG in order to win matches. If we play as individuals on the pitch, it won't work, we won't win the titles we want. Last season, we put the club before everything else, before thinking about ourselves. We have to rediscover that, especially in these matches. We know we're in the second half of the season. And Paris Saint-Germain has to come first, not individual players.
When the players had the feeling that the right group is in camp, that they knew their role, why they are in camp, what is expected of them, and they had the feeling that the tournament could even go on for another four weeks and they would be happy to be together, then they were successful.
When I first came on, I was a little nervous about how it was going to be, but everyone was super welcoming especially the older girls, says Sunshine, 23, who has been on the team since 2022. It was very, let's lift up these rookies.' Veteran racer Nina O'Brien even wrote welcoming notes to all the newcomers. That was super nice, Sunshine says.
I love Mo Salah. In fact, shortly after he joined the club in the summer of 2017, my Liverpool fandom reached new heights. Where I'm from, college basketball is king. I'm a born Louisville Cardinals fan. I've lost sleep, broken smart phones, and cried tears of joy in response to Cards basketball. For 25 years, it was unfathomable that any other team could impact my life the same way.
"I don't think the mindset changes," he said. "I think you just gotta keep playing. You know, we come off of the trip, had a great trip, but it's about not being complacent tonight. Being ready to go from the drop of the puck here tonight. I don't think much changes with our game based on who's in net."
Sean and his staff have come in and done an amazing job, You can tell the energy around the group has changed and everybody's just working as hard as we can to get the best possible results. The bond and strength that we have had before will come back, and you can tell we are wanting to fight for every game we play in.
I'm happy to have this team, but I'm a little concerned about the noises I hear around the team and the individual prizes given to players, because football is a team sport. You have to be ready to work as a team, prizes don't interest me. It's different because there's a lot of recognition [this season]. I don't want to talk about the past, but about the future. Fewer prizes and more concentration, that's what we want.

Nearly 32 years after Joe Carter hit his historic home run to win the 1993 World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays, the baseball legend believes the current team has what it takes to win it all. "They have the guys who can do it. And I'm betting my money on them right now," Carter told The Sunday Magazine host Piya Chattopadhyay. The Blue Jays lead the New York Yankees two games to none in the best of five American League Division Series (ALDS), with both wins coming in convincing fashion in Toronto.
The Lionesses have changed what football matches mean. Celebrations begun by their achievements will never stop, just like memorable moments from 1998-99 Manchester United.
Ya know, [it's] obviously disappointing. You'd like to have all your guys out there Day One to try to build that cohesion... but that's not how it usually works out.
