The forward Mayra Ramírez spoke with ESPN’s SportsCenter about her moment at Chelsea and what she expects from the women’s league in Colombia.
Balance 2024
It has been a great year, with a lot of learning. I have learned quite a few things in London. We are having a great start to the season
Differences between the English and Spanish leagues
Starting with the league. Here we play every third day and in Spain you play every Saturday, every Sunday, so the physical change you have was an important factor for me to come physically prepared. It is a competitive league, any team can become champion, it is a constant competition with the best center backs and midfielders.

Chelsea campaign
Chelsea is working very well, we competed at Barcelona’s home, we got a favorable result. They are competing very well. You have to continue with that routine. This Champions League I feel like we can work very well.
Coaches Sonia Bompastor and Emma Hayes
They are the two best there are. We saw the change that Emma had with the United States where she became champion again, where Emma made Chelsea what it is today; where Sonia made Lyon what it is today. I learned a lot from Emma and I’m learning a lot from Sonia, and she helps me improve every day, which is why they are great figures for women’s football.
Women’s soccer in Colombia
The league in Colombia is going to continue improving. I hope that these girls have a long-lasting league that helps them grow in their development and be able to compete for big teams. The Colombian player is wanted by European clubs, she has shown that she is technical. It is a process that has been opening doors, I hope to see many more
Your references
I grew up watching Marta, I always saw Falcao, now the good moment of “Lucho” Díaz. These great references help us continue fighting for our dreams.
