She’s got everything,” Arsenal manager Renee Slegers said of Caldentey earlier this season. Her impact was instant and transformative. Arsenal went from a struggling side at the start of the season to a team marching up the table, sealing second spot in the WSL and competing with Europe’s elite. Caldentey’s role was to be the creator, linking up with WSL Golden Boot winner Alessia Russo and providing stardust from midfield. “She’s given us so much,” Slegers added. “There are so many things to say about Mariona, because she does so many things so well. She has given us that next level. “Technically and tactically – her intelligence is really high level. Her work ethic is unbelievable. You can see it in games, but you can see it on the training pitch as well. “Last but not least, she’s a winner.” After Arsenal beat Tottenham 5-0 at Emirates Stadium, a journalist described Caldentey as the conductor of an orchestra, with eight legs like an octopus. The analogy surprised Slegers but she admitted it was a good description. Arsenal captain Kim Little, who has played alongside Caldentey this season, said she has been “incredible” for the team. “She came in from Barcelona and had a great impact on the team, on a personal level and also with how we play,” she told BBC Radio 5 Live.
