当曼城开始卫冕女子超级联赛冠军时，所有人都只有一个问题：他们能否在多条战线上同时竞争？
When Manchester City began the defence of their Women's Super League title there was one question on everyone's minds. Can they compete on multiple fronts?
在过去几年中，曼城在争夺女子超级联赛冠军的同时，往往难以在女子冠军联赛中走得更远。
In previous years, City have struggled to go far in the Women's Champions League at the same time as challenging for the WSL title.
他们在夏季仅引进了三名球员，并保留了上赛季赢得十年内首个女子超级联赛冠军时的多数阵容。
They made just threegs in the summer and retained most of their squad from last season when they won a first WSL title in a decade.
主教练安德烈·耶格勒茨必须进行阵容轮换，并满足外界的期望——而到目前为止，他做得相当出色。
Manager Andree Jeglertz would have to rotate his squad and live up to expectations - and so far he has done a good job.
曼城本赛季开局令人印象深刻，他们在女子超级联赛中保持全胜，在欧洲赛场上也尚未尝败绩。
It has been an impressive start to the season for City, who have won every game in the WSL and are yet to lose in Europe.
阵容深度对他们来说至关重要，因为耶格勒茨尚未启用过相同的11人首发阵容，但这并未影响他们的比赛节奏。
Their squad depth has been important, as Jeglertz is yet to name the same starting XI, but it has not impacted their rhythm.
他的换人调整也带来了成效：贝丝·米德在对阵伯明翰城的比赛中送出助攻，而克尔斯廷·卡斯帕里奇则在对阵阿森纳时首次触球便取得进球。
And his substitutions have had an impact with Beth Mead assisting against Birmingham City and Kerstin Casparij scoring with her first touch against Arsenal.
曼城还曾在客场2-0落后于拜仁慕尼黑后逆转，最终战平首回合的冠军联赛比赛；此外，他们还曾在对阵皇家马德里的比赛中从落后局面中追平比分，以1-1收场。
City also came from 2-0 down at Bayern Munich to draw their opening Champions League game and also came from behind to level 1-1 with Real Madrid.
在女子超级联赛中，他们也从落后局面中抢得六分，是所有球队中得分最多的。
They have also gained six points from losing positions in the WSL, the most by any team.
赛季才刚刚开始，但耶格勒茨是否已经证明了自己能够妥善应对多重挑战？
It remains early days but is Jeglertz showing he can juggle competing demands well?
“如果你回顾本赛季我们踢过的所有比赛，我认为我们在最后半小时所做的换人和调整，经常能够扭转比赛局势，”耶格勒茨在球队4-2战胜阿森纳后说道。
"If you look at all the games we have played this season so far, I think the substitutions and changes we have made in the last half an hour has quite often turned the game around," said Jeglertz following their 4-2 win over Arsenal.
“我们确实以出色的状态完成了比赛，从未出现过松懈。我认为这是我们应该继续坚持的一点。”
"We really have finished off on a high. We have never dropped that. I think that is something for us to [take forward].
“你只能以11名球员开局，但可以进行五次换人。无论换上的是谁，这些替补球员总能以积极的方式影响比赛。”尽管在2019年和2020年均以亚军身份屈居切尔西之后，曼城在那两个赛季的欧洲赛场上都未能突破十六强阶段。
"You can only start with 11 players but you can make five substitutions. The ones that have come in, no matter who it is, have always affected it in a good way." Despite finishing runners-up to Chelsea in the WSL in both 2019 and 2020, City did not go beyond the last-16 stage in Europe during those seasons.
2021年，她们在英格兰女子超级联赛中再度获得亚军，同时在国内杯赛和欧冠赛场上均至少打入了四分之一决赛。
They came second in the WSL again in 2021 and reached at least the quarter-finals in both domestic cup competitions and the Champions League.
然而在接下来的两年里，她们的表现却出现下滑：欧冠预选赛早早出局，联赛排名也先后跌至第三、第四位。她们绝不想重蹈覆辙。
But that took its toll on them the following two years as they fell in the qualifying stages of the Champions League and dropped to third, then fourth in the WSL. They do not want to repeat it again.
近期状态火热的英格兰国脚劳伦·亨普表示，尽管对手实力强劲，但球队在欧洲赛场上的表现“并非我们的正常水平”。
England international Lauren Hemp, who has been in electric form, said their draws in Europe were "not our standard" despite facing tough opposition.
主教练耶格尔茨对球队对阵皇家马德里时的下半场表现感到满意，不过和亨普一样，他也渴望球队能有更出色的发挥，因为他深知后续的挑战只会愈发艰难。
Manager Jeglertz was pleased with their second half display against Real Madrid but like Hemp, still craves more as he knows the challenge will only get harder.
“我们先后对阵了两支水平极高的球队。如果想在赛事中走得更远，就必须赢下这样的比赛，”耶格尔茨说道。
"We have played two teams that are definitely at a very high level. If you want to go far in the tournament, you also need to win these games," said Jeglertz.
“我们目前积两分且保持不败，上下半场的表现也都不错。但我们仍在追求一场能让我们发挥出最佳水准的90分钟比赛。
"We have two points and haven't lost and we had two good halves. But we're still looking for a 90 minutes where we feel we can do a great game.
起步还算顺利。虽说不算理想，但是个不错的开端。我们也清楚后续赛事中需要做到什么。”曼城深知前路漫漫：本赛季英女超才进行了五轮，她们在欧洲联赛阶段还有四场比赛要打。
"It's an OK start. It's not ideal but it's a good start. We know what is needed from us for the rest of the tournament." City know there is a long way to go. It is only five games into the WSL season and they have another four matches to play in the league phase in Europe.
维维安·米德玛、悉尼·洛曼、丽贝卡·克纳克以及清水梨纱等多名球员仍在伤愈恢复中，而萨姆·科菲则在周日战胜阿森纳的关键比赛中受了伤。
Several players including Vivianne Miedema, Sydney Lohmann, Rebecca Knaak and Risa Shimizu are recovering from injury, while Sam Coffey picked up a knock in their crucial victory over Arsenal on Sunday.
不过球队已经证明了自身的阵容深度足够雄厚，也具备日后所需的坚韧品质。
But they have already showed their squad depth is good enough and they have resilience which will be needed later down the line.
本赛季至今，曼城在英女超共打入了16粒进球，其中10粒出现在下半场，包括3粒补时阶段的进球。
Of their 16 goals scored in the WSL this season, 10 have come in the second half, including three in stoppage time.
克尔斯汀·卡斯帕里、卡迪贾·肖以及长谷泽唯衣等核心球员，目前的上场时间均少于上赛季同期。
Key players such as Kerstin Casparij, Khadija Shaw and Yui Hasegawa have all played fewer minutes at this stage than they did last season in the WSL.
美国国脚科菲是球队最为关键的中场球员之一，尽管她每场比赛都出场，但由于耶格勒茨巧妙地进行轮换，她仅有一次打满90分钟。
USA international Coffey, one of their most crucial midfielders, has featured in every game but has only played 90 minutes once as Jeglertz has rotated effectively.
周日对阵阿森纳的比赛便体现了这一点：副队长卡斯帕里在第63分钟替补登场，帮助球队取得领先。
This was shown on Sunday as vice-captain Casparij came on against Arsenal to give her side the lead in the 63rd minute.
“半场时我就知道自己会上场，因此有充足的时间做准备，以进入比赛状态，”卡斯帕里说道。
"At half-time I knew I was going to come on so I had a good chunk of time to prepare and get ready to play my game," said Casparij.
“安德烈就是这样的人。他对我们要求明确，这让我能够随心发挥，相信自己的直觉与判断，毫无拘束地踢球。
"That's what Andree does. He's really clear with us and it allows me to play my game, trust my instinct, trust my gut and play with a lot of freedom.
我们这支球队拥有极强的韧性与斗志，还有众多出色的替补球员能在关键时刻扭转战局。
"We've got incredible resilience and mentality within this team. We've got incredible players coming off the bench, changing the game.
这一点至关重要，因为在一个漫长的赛季里，我们需要整个团队的协作。目前一切尚未定局，但我们必须保持这种心态。”
"That is so important because it's the whole team that you need, especially in a long season like this. Nothing is won yet but we have to keep up this mentality."
