The Women’s Champions League adventure
When it was clear that FC Twente would participate in the group stage of the Women’s Champions League, Pot and his team got to work. They needed to forge a team ready to compete against the best in Europe. “That was very challenging. I think we worked very hard in the summer to make it a team, to absorb the style of play and to be able to present ourselves as a team,” Pot said. The head coach complemented his team as the players put in a lot of time and effort to make it work.
