The forward, who missed two years due to four knee surgeries, says she feels ‘like a young Bambi’ going into Friday night’s game with the Seattle Reign
Angel City FC forward Christen Press looks on during the first half of an international friendly match against FC Juárez Femenil on Aug. 18, 2024, at BMO Stadium. For the first time since tearing her ACL on June 11, 2022, Angel City Football Club’s Christen Press made her return to competition Aug. 1 during the NWSL Summer Cup.
“There’s no place like this. The most amazing fans and community, so to be back and playing in front of everybody, it’s been a joy. You can probably see on my face when I’m playing, I’m ear-to-ear smiling because I’m just able to slow a bit and feel it and smell it.” “I definitely feel like I have young legs, like a young Bambi, where I’m out there and I’m playing these games in my mind of what it feels like to be at this level and to play at this speed. I think often just with my personality and how I am, I feel I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be and exactly who I am. I know what kind of player I am.
“We talked about it before the game that we’re excited to play proper minutes together,” ACFC forward Sydney Leroux said. “It’s was really nice to be on the field back with Press. I’m so proud of her and her recovery. I’ve seen the last two years when it’s been tough.” Why is LAUSD spending $70 million to boost capacity at a school in Silver Lake, when nearby schools have thousands of empty seats?DA opposes release of ‘Pillowcase Rapist’ in Antelope Valley
