Nothing says "match preparation" quite like blasting stadium noise at your players while they try to pass a football. But that's exactly what Arsenal Women's boss Renee Slegers has been doing.
The Dutch manager has cranked up simulated crowd noise during sessions to get her squad ready for the roar of home support this season. Clever? Absolutely. Slightly unhinged? Perhaps. Effective? We'll find out soon enough.
One of seven fresh faces in the squad is Ona Batlle, who arrived from Barcelona. The defender is buzzing about lacing up her boots at the Emirates Stadium - and who could blame her?
Batlle previously made her name at Manchester United before heading to Catalonia. Now she's back in England, hungry for a new challenge in the Women's Super League, ESPN reports.
Arsenal open their campaign away at Brighton. Batlle will have to wait one more week for her home debut, but fans have already given her a warm reception during preseason events.
With seven new signings bedded in and the speakers turned up to eleven, Slegers clearly means business.
