Chelsea manager Emma Hayes said players are sometimes “taken for granted” after their success in recent years.
The Blues return to action in the Women's Super League against Aston Villa on Wednesday after suffering back-to-back cup defeats in their last two games.
Arsenal defeated Arsenal in the League Cup final on March 31st and lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday.
They sit second in the WSL, three points behind leaders Manchester City.
Hayes has won the WSL title in each of the past four seasons and the FA Cup title in the past three seasons, a 12-year run that ends this summer when he takes over as USA manager.
“We just want our players to go out tomorrow and have fun,” Hayes said. “I want them to play in front of the fan base and I really hope they appreciate this group of players.
“I believe this team has brought a lot of success to this club and the fans over the years, but sometimes the players feel like they are taken for granted. Please show your gratitude.
“I care that they understand that it’s hard to keep winning, winning, winning the level of success that we’ve had, even if it doesn’t always go your way. , I'm proud that we keep doing it. We've got to pick ourselves up and go again.”
Despite being clearly disappointed that quadruple expectations ended in back-to-back games, Chelsea still have a chance of winning the WSL and Champions League double, with Hayes urging his players to 'show up'. ”.
“In an ideal world, you would go into summer with a medal. Nobody wants to go into summer with only memories,” she said.
“But we've had a lot of wins. It's not like we don't know what that feels like.
“We still have a way to go. We still have two competitions to go, but like everything else, we have to commit to it. We have to show up. “That's what I want from my players. Show” in everything we do every day. ”
“An injured animal is a dangerous animal.”
Villa manager Carla Ward is looking forward to facing Chelsea, who are hurt by their cup disappointment, and will be wary of a side they beat 6-0 last time out.
“An injured animal is a dangerous animal,” Ward said. “It's clear. Emma and her team are psychotic monsters, we know it.
“They are hurt and you never want to play a team that is hurt, especially a team that is champions, Chelsea.
“They're going to want to respond and I have no doubt they will respond. They've got world-class players, a world-class coach and they'll be ready. They're going to want to win. You want to put things in place to make sure you're on track for the league. “
