"The players have been working hard for almost three weeks now," said the head coach to Impact Media. "Now, we start competing. We need to play games because that's how we establish a rhythm. It's also about being together for 18 days and getting to know each other a bit more. We have to be ready for everything when the season kicks off on March 2 in Seattle."
