Everton boss Brian Sorensen has been speaking to the media before their opening Women’s Super League game against Brighton on Saturday (kick-off 12:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Everton had a “good, but long” pre-season “without any injuries”.
On facing Manchester United and Arsenal in their first two games of the season, Sorensen said he wants to “start as well as possible”.
He has been watching footage of Melbourne City to prepare for Brighton under new boss Dario Vidosic, who coached the Australian team before moving to the WSL.
Sorensen has a “good idea” of how he wants to play against the Seagulls.
On avoiding an injury crisis like last season, he said the club needed to prepare their players better for international duty and have a better dialogue with national teams.
