Emma Hayes Aims to Improve USWNT Ahead of Spain Rematch

Emma Hayes is working to enhance the United States women's national team as they prepare for a rematch against Spain after suffering a 2-0 defeat. The match is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13, at Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania.

With limited training time, the team has been reviewing video to address issues such as passing decisions and attacking cohesion. Hayes noted the challenge of integrating players who have developed club habits over the past months, emphasizing the need for adjustments in their playing style.

Hayes is particularly focused on Ashley Sanchez, who has been called up for the first time during her tenure. Sanchez has excelled in the NWSL, and Hayes is keen for her to adapt to the national team's demands. The coach aims to build a cohesive unit capable of competing effectively, especially as they prepare for upcoming tournaments.
