My Take

Keira Walsh plays the position I respect most in football: the deep-lying midfielder who makes everyone else look better. Goals get the headlines, but Walsh's value lies in the hundreds of small, correct decisions she makes every match, knowing when to press, when to recycle possession, and when to split a defense with a single pass. Her path from Rochdale through Manchester City and Barcelona to the vice-captaincy at Chelsea tells me elite coaches see exactly what I see: a player whose intelligence is her superpower. For England she is the metronome, and I would argue no English midfielder of her generation reads the game better.
