Andree Jeglertz insisted that he is proud of his side’s reaction to Ayaka Yamashita’s red card, despite losing to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Yamashita was sent off with 15 minutes to go as City trailed Chelsea thanks to a goal from Sandy Baltimore just before the break.

Jeglertz spoke about City’s performance after the match.
“I’m disappointed because we want a result,” he said. “High-quality game, I think we deserved more than no points from this one. There were points in the game where we had a good performance but it is a good team.
“Of course having a player sent off is not great, I have to see it again in terms of where it is a red card and where is a yellow card. I’m proud of how the players managed that. That is something that we will definitely bring with us.
“Of course it is more difficult if you are one player down against a good team like Chelsea. It’s not easy to score a goal. We created enough chances to do that but we didn’t manage in the end.”

“We are not defending a title, we are chasing a new one.” he added. “We won last year, very proud of that.
“There are more teams challenging for the title and it will be a tight league this year also which is what we want. This game shows what a high level it is.”
