Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall criticises the 'amateurish behaviour' in handling fixture scheduling as a WSL game is postponed at a week's notice.
Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall has criticised the "amateurish behaviour" in handling fixture scheduling after a Women's Super League match was postponed at a week's notice.
Before the Champions League draw was made, WPLL had asked Uefa not to schedule any of the three English teams to play on 8 October, but were unsuccessful. "Do the league want English teams to be successful at European level? I would hope the answer to that would be yes, but the actions show differently. It shows that this is not one of their priorities."For the first time, there are three English clubs competing in the Women's Champions League group stages, with Arsenal and Manchester City joining Chelsea.
"It is very important that this is the first time in the group stage that three teams reached the group stage," added Eidevall. "That should be something we celebrate - instead it becomes a problem."What needs to change is the approach to Champions League football. It is not good enough to blame it on Uefa because everyone across Europe has had the same information for a long time, and the only one that hasn't acted on that information is the WSL.
