Starting point is 00:00:00 Before we get into today's episode of Daily Brightness, we just want to say a huge thank you to Shaw for helping bring our podcast to life. Obviously this is something that we've wanted to do for a while, teaming up with Goldhanger was an absolute no-brainer for us, but I think it's more just probably to get our points out there. I think like before Rach, it's about bringing Daily Brightness to life and I think when we first invented it, if you like, it was all about communicating with each other, having that safe space to kind of be a little bit vulnerable and just showing our raw authentic selves and I think for us the podcast is that and that's why I think we're extremely grateful for sure to give us that opportunity and kind of bringing it to life and allowing us to now you know have it on a
Starting point is 00:00:39 wider spectrum and connecting with the fans again but also some of the things in the women's game that really need to be better and the problems and boundaries that we still face and I think as players current players as well we can really touch on that and you know hopefully bring a little bit of attention but ultimately it's just about sharing who we are as people and yeah like I said we're really really grateful that Shora have given us this opportunity and supported us since day one. Obviously it's been been amazing that Shore have backed us from the start and all the way through this now, but exciting to have them be alongside us for this exciting summer of football. And they'll be with us every step of the way. So we're grateful for them to be alongside us sharing this

And I'm Rachel Daly. Rach, that doesn't look like your typical office. Where are you in the world? Yeah, I've upscaled my office, I think. I am currently in Portugal, so living the dream. I just got here today. I'm knackered, to be fair. Don't know why I decided to pick a 6am flight. Rookie mistake. But yeah, I'm in Portugal now for a couple of weeks, which I'm really excited about, just chilling. How hot is it? Hot. I mean, my nose is a little bit burnt can you see it yeah I can see I've only been out in the sun for a few hours but you know how easy I tan yeah for anyone listening
Starting point is 00:03:11 she tans so quickly I hate her for it I'm like Casper the ghost anyway let's just dig straight into you because we just love talking about Chelsea and Chelsea winning and it's just like my favorite topic of conversation so I feel like there's no point speaking to you during the week because like
Starting point is 00:03:30 this is just like I just get it all here it's amazing I feel like I'm literally part of the team so come on talk to me about it I watched it
Starting point is 00:03:37 obviously you got my voice note before the game I think that hyped you up didn't it oh it did I made sure for anyone listening I sent Millie
Starting point is 00:03:43 a big hype hype voice note before the game I usually do that i'm big games only and then get a nice little video note back from you celebrating it's always a good time so yeah talk me through the game talk me through the game yeah it was a good day obviously day before we traveled up to the hilton we always stay over the night before it's weird because the hilton's right there and you open your curtains and you can just see the stadium. So it's just like night before you're getting a little sneak peek of where you're going to be.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Obviously we knew it was going to be a big crowd, which was amazing. That's what we want in finals. Both sets of fans were incredible. You know what Wembley's like, no matter how many times you play there, it's so special. It's like electric. I had Harvey. Did you see Harvey as my little mascot
Starting point is 00:04:25 that was the nicest surprise because i was watching it right and usually i don't really watch like the beginning i'll just wait till it kicks off and i walked into the living room turned it off and you're all in the tunnel but i didn't see the mascots then i walked in i was like oh my god is that harvey boy and then he was like he's so tall now i'm not seeing him for like six months and he's just huge but I was just like oh didn't expect that it was a nice little surprise when we came out as well as that make sure you wave to mummy and like nanny and granddad and we wave at the same time and we do the same smile I was like I saw it before you even posted the picture and I thought that better someone better have captured
Starting point is 00:04:58 that because that was beautiful yeah I did have a little giggle when you had to introduce all the team you left him with Sonia he's probably like auntie really where are you going yeah I was like stay there do not move and then to be fair Sonia put her arm around him so she looked after him but um yeah it was sick like I loved it and leading the girls out was like extra special as well anyone that's English knows that the FA Cup is the best trophy to lift like you know what it's like playing in England. It's the most iconic game, like playing at Wembley. I said it's my favourite game of the season.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Like, you always want to make the FA Cup final. You want to lift that trophy. But we were so dominant in it, to be fair. I think that was like one of our best performances. Like we were, obviously United are a really tough team, but we changed a few things. And I thought we were really dominant on and off the ball. And second half, we were just like really ruthless in front of goal.
Starting point is 00:05:50 But for how dominant we were... It's funny because I remember when we had a conversation a couple of weeks ago and you were like the thing that's kind of not let you down this season because obviously you've just smashed the season, but that you felt that you weren't really ruthless, like you wouldn't have won one or two nil when it could have been four or five. And I felt like it took you a bit to grow into the game. I think for both teams.
Starting point is 00:06:08 And then you could just tell like you had this little like bite about you. It was like, no, they're going for it. Yeah, we knew it was coming. Like shots were just going like slightly wide. I was like, girls, it's coming, it's coming. Keep the pressure on. And then second half, yeah,
Starting point is 00:06:21 we just came out of the blocks again. And as always, you have to ride out little waves in the game. They're a top team, they're in the final for a reason. So we knew we had to just ride a couple of moments out defensively. But I thought we, yeah, I thought we were so dominant. You know, you just get that feeling, like you just know how that feels. We're going to win. I know we're going to win. Like everyone's on it. Everyone's like, give me the ball.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Everyone's tackling, everyone's winning battles. You know when we've got that little bite about us and I said it to you when we last played United we got that Chelsea grit back so when I felt like
Starting point is 00:06:52 in the final I was like game on like this is it there's no way we're conceding there's no way anyone's losing a battle
Starting point is 00:06:57 like we were just it was such an enjoyable game though because everything we just felt like all on the same page but then yeah the best bit is the after part, the final whistle, celebrating with the fans. And for me, it was like knowing we'd done the treble.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Like that was the icing on the cake. We'd had such big disappointment with Champions League that, you know, we really dug deep and made sure that we were so prepared for this game that we could, for all the hard work we'd done in the season, like going unbeaten, the treble was like the ultimate that was then the big thing
Starting point is 00:07:28 so yeah honestly incredible absolutely loved it loved it yeah I really enjoyed watching it like it was
Starting point is 00:07:36 it was a good game and I think probably was a bit more like you say Taylor two halves like I think second half you really dominated
Starting point is 00:07:42 and showed like the proper Chelsea yeah but it was funny because I thought like Sandy Baltimore Like I think second half you really dominated and showed like the proper Chelsea. Yeah. But it was funny because I thought like Sandy Baltimore has been one of my favourite players all season to watch. So sick. Like I think she's so good. But I felt like the first like 15, 20 minutes I thought she's not really like settling into the game. Like I was really excited to like, because I've not properly been able to like fully sit down and watch you play for ages.
Starting point is 00:08:04 And I was like, oh, don't get me wrong and watch you play for ages and I was like oh don't get me wrong like she's phenomenal like she was in my team in the season but I felt like it was just like just like one second off like it was like you could see what she's trying to do but it was like getting intercepted or yeah and then it was the penalty and I thought who's going to take it because usually it's like guru isn't it and then is it Macario does she take pens she takes him to be fair we've got this is the first time in a long time we've had so many penalty Because usually it's like Guru, isn't it? And then, is it Macario? Does she take pens? She takes them. To be fair, we've got, this is the first time in a long time we've had so many penalty takers.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Like, it's hard to keep up with who's on it. And I'm like, shit, like, I'm trying to, like, make sure everything's in order and in place. Yeah, because obviously, like, you're doing the whole, like, mind in the spot and stuff like that. Lucy's obviously brilliant at that. But I was just like, who's going to take this? And then I was like, go on, Millie, get up there,
Starting point is 00:08:44 smash your top corner. And I was like, there's no way he's taking it. Like, I've seen her training. She absolutely hates it. Like, she's not doing that. But I was thinking, who could it be? And then when she stepped up, I was like, go on, girl. Go on, Sandy.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I've backed you all year. And then, like, honestly, it was the most weird run up. Like, it was like the keeper almost moved at the same time she did like because she's slow slow slow and then bang
Starting point is 00:09:10 yeah she's honestly been class yeah it was it was a really good penalty like you mean absolutely quality
Starting point is 00:09:15 penalty I think that's obviously given her that next boost to kick her into the second half I mean she's also another
Starting point is 00:09:20 one versatile and she's played all sorts of positions for you this season and delivered everywhere so yeah literally left back you this season and delivered everywhere. Yeah, literally left back the whole season and then we put her higher up and she starts delivering. But she's honestly been so good.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I think she's been one of our best players all season. I remember when she played against me when I was playing for England at full-back and I thought, who the hell is this? Absolutely tonking me down the line. I thought, I was quite quick, a bit off-label. I was thinking, who is this girl? I think she's really young. It's like one of her first games
Starting point is 00:09:45 and I was like oh my god she's wrapped what is she like off the pitch do you know what she's really quiet she's super quiet super quiet like just goes about
Starting point is 00:09:55 and then she's giving it this and then she's like go on she's so sick though like tight spaces like she spins defenders like you can give her the ball you know she's getting out of it
Starting point is 00:10:04 like she'll always come out with the ball. But yeah, I think, I just love it. I just absolutely, I replay the whole thing in my head. Like I love it. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:10:12 she's really quite off the pitch. Got a really good mix in the changing room, to be honest. Got loads of, quite a few loud ones. Obviously I'm in that category. Erin, like Lucy.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Hey, let's talk about your dancing in the changing rooms because I thought, I've taught you that rhythm straight away I was thinking oh that's the TikTok that I
Starting point is 00:10:29 could do you could have done that one actually I'd have been like one two three four turn two three four
Starting point is 00:10:36 turn I am massively judging you though and I told you this for drinking Carling Bessie all that was on show
Starting point is 00:10:44 I would have had a Guinness, but there's nothing available. Bloody Carling. What is in your hand? I was like, oh, proper Yorkshire bird, get your tinny out, girl.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Gizze bevy. Literally, like a proper tin. Other people were there with these other tinnies, but they were like vodka something or these fruity things.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I was there with Colin I think I was the only player with Colin so it's good though yeah that's good yeah so what happened like I assume you were
Starting point is 00:11:15 the you were let out yeah oh I said absolutely I can confirm there's no curfew tonight thank you very much Sonia
Starting point is 00:11:23 we're letting our head because that's the thing the other trophies that we've won we can't celebrate because there's no curfew tonight thank you very much Sonia we're letting our head because that's the thing the other trophies that we've won we can't celebrate because there's a game two, three days later it's been
Starting point is 00:11:32 and to be honest like we don't really want to celebrate and be doing like the big party stuff when we've still got such big games to come I think that's something
Starting point is 00:11:39 we've done really well this year is we've literally stayed tunnel vision and like let's get the treble let's you know box everything off have a really successful season and then we'll party hard last night which we did good so i'm surprisingly like i think i look not too bad i got a nice little elbow
Starting point is 00:11:55 in game which i'm surprised var didn't pick up on so i'm waiting for my shiner to come out shock anyway always got a shiner also let's talk about your new stakeholder Alexis Ahanian that is so sick do you remember when we met Serena Williams in the world cup in France yeah we were so she's so lovely yeah do you remember we picked up her baby's fork yeah she dropped all the stuff bless her she was carrying baby and all that stuff in her hands. What, bless her. That is so cool though. I feel like that's such a big lift for child, like just to have an investment from someone like them.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Like it's huge. Did you speak to them or anything? I spoke to them briefly when we did the trophy lift. Obviously they were up at the top. So it was really nice to like be introduced and to meet each other. But I'm sure we'll have a proper like introduction and, you know, meet at a different time. It was really hard after the top. So it was really nice to like be introduced and to meet each other, but I'm sure we'll have a, a proper like introduction and, you know, me at a different time. It was really hard after the game.
Starting point is 00:12:49 It was so chaotic. So I was gutted. I didn't get a chance to, but I've, I've seen like mixed, mixed reviews on it, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:12:57 oh, like Chelsea are running away with it. This is like massive for women's football. And. Huge. There's got, listen, in the women's game,
Starting point is 00:13:05 there always has to be someone that like notches it up. There always has to be someone that raises the bar. That's the way the world works. That's the way the game works. That's the way business works. Or the queens of global soccer, as he calls it. Well, let me just fix it. Go on the shelf.
Starting point is 00:13:19 The thing is though, like he obviously, he invested in Angel City and they're not top of the league. Like he's not just investing because you're at the top of the league like he's obviously got his own he's a he's a very good businessman but like exactly it's a massive thing for women's football and it's obviously i think in america it's quite dominant of like having investors and people coming into battle clubs and i think i've always thought it's a really good thing i hope it's like a domino effect where someone else follows and then so on and so on
Starting point is 00:13:47 because we have to keep raising the bar. And listen, we've got ambitions to win the Champions League. So, you know, this doing that, this will take us up another level. Like it'll allow us to do certain things and to keep improving and, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:00 just keep raising the standards. But by no means is that running away with it. Like the league, yes, we won the treble, but it weren't easy. It's not easy. There's five teams in the league that are competing for top spot. So it's like when you look at it like that, it's not, but I think it's huge.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I think it's good for us as Chelsea. Why did you say five and not six? Because we were six. Six, sorry, six. Six. Six competed. Dickhead. I was thinking, why have you just forgotten about me? I haven't. It's because you're basically a Chelsea player.
Starting point is 00:14:36 You're basically half Chelsea, half Villa. But I do think, though, it's one of them. I can understand people's frustration, I guess, because it's not their club, right? But you look like a Wrexham right so you get Ryan Reynolds going in put just random whatever reason he's picked Wrexham like everyone around Wrexham is going to be fuming right but he's taking them they're now in the championship I know like literally like two seasons ago I'm watching them in the playoffs in like like whatever that league
Starting point is 00:15:03 is conference league whatever but it's like I think yeah you can be a little bit bitter about it because it's not your club but at the same time like it should excite you though like now
Starting point is 00:15:13 I'm expecting if that was a different team if that was another top team or whatever I'd be like okay then I'm looking at Chelsea going are we going to raise our levels
Starting point is 00:15:22 like are we going to go to that level like are we going to hopefully now this sets the standards that it pushes other teams you want to be successful you've got to keep moving the train keeps moving like you either get on board or you get off board and if you're off board you can't stand still everything's growing and you want everything to grow like you want it should excite you better people are now like taking the women's game seriously and wanting to invest like that is a massive thing are now taking the women's game seriously and wanting to invest. That is a massive thing.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And just in the women's side is even bigger. That just goes to show that we're well-respected. The game's changing. And hopefully, like I said, I want it to be a domino effect where it affects other teams. And it makes people start looking around going, are we doing enough?
Starting point is 00:16:00 Do we need to be doing more? Do we need to raise our own levels to make the game even better? So I think it's incredible. And yeah yeah I just think it's a massive momentum shift in in the game as well it excites me as well that people like want to invest as well because it's like obviously you know he's husband to arguably the most successful female athlete and he has a love like a daughter so he's got a love and a passion for women in sport. So I think that should be like celebrated. A hundred percent.
Starting point is 00:16:28 I just think it's very naive and small minded if it's looked at as a negative. I do. I think if you want, we keep asking for the game to be sellout crowds and this and that and grow and da, da, da, da. Well, you only get that if you actually allow yourself to grow.
Starting point is 00:16:43 And if you allow yourself to go into that place of the unknown and that might be deemed as a little bit scary, but everyone has to get to that place. Like the game can't keep growing if we all stand still and we stay where we are. Now it's up to other clubs to step up
Starting point is 00:16:56 and to start asking the question. As a Chelsea player, I can hand on heart say, no matter how many trophies I've won with this club, I've always said, we need to do better. We need to be doing this. We need better crowds. We need need to be doing this we need to figure out how we get more you know people to the stadiums oh are we doing this are we doing that
Starting point is 00:17:12 like you you just can't stand still it's it's you can't no i agree 100 so anyone listening like if you want to invest in aston villa women women, hit me up. Venus, William, I'm talking to you. Come on, sister, I have all right. Literally. It's like, this is Britain in the stars. Come on, Venus. Sisters and best friends going at it.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Brilliant. Do you know, like, what it means for the club and, like, you in general? Like, what the investment will do? Like, is there a, has it been laid out to you yet or is it too too much business end of the season and then you'll just review yeah i'm guessing we'll we'll probably do that when we have like a better meet and greet if you like and i think obviously it's just fresh on the fresh on the streets at the minute so nothing's i don't know any like ins and outs but i can only imagine it's going to just allow us to get even closer to winning that Champions League and whatever we deem necessary to do that it will
Starting point is 00:18:11 allow us to do that and like I said raise the standards whether that be facilities I can only imagine that's that's what it'll do but yeah I guess we'll have to wait and see I don't know too much of the ins and outs. All right then, last question. You get asked by Alexis and Serena, Millie, captain of Chelsea, come on, big dog, take us on a night out in London, where are you going? Getting them to, we're going Mayfair. I have to take them to Archer's,

I don't know why. I just couldn't sleep. I got on that plane and I thought, if I don't have a travel pillow on this little easy jet flight, I am going to cry. And honestly, it saved my life. I literally just like put my head in the pillow and was out.
Starting point is 00:24:57 So I'm very grateful for the travel pillow. That is a good one. I would say my neighbour, Claire, because she's really helped me this week with like emergencies and sorting the dogs.
