Corredera - I’m so happy to be here

Marta Corredera

Marta Corredera says she is delighted to be playing for Arsenal Ladies.

The Spain winger joined the Gunners from Barcelona at the start of July and made her Gunners debut four days later, against Liverpool in the Women’s Super League.

Corredera played the full 90 minutes of the 3-1 defeat and was pleased with her first performance in an Arsenal shirt, despite the result.

"I am really happy to be here and to play for this great club"

“I’m really happy,” she told Arsenal.com. “I want to thank all the players, the manager and all the fans who turned up. I am really happy to be here and to play for this great club.

“The style of football in Spain and England is really different. It’s really, really physical here but in the Spanish league, especially with Barcelona, we have all the possession all of the time. Physicality is not really important there but it is here.”

Corredera started the game on the wing but Pedro Martinez Losa moved her to left back at half-time, and the 23-year-old insists she is comfortable in both roles.

“I like playing in both positions and the coach knows that,” she said. “I will play where the team needs me to play because the team is the most important thing.

“I played as a winger at the World Cup. It was a really good experience and it is where all players want to play one day. I had the opportunity and I really enjoyed it. It was a fantastic honour to be one of the first Spanish ladies to play at a World Cup.”
