Kang is a slight determine however when she walks into the canteen room in heels at Cobdown Park for the unique interview with BBC Sport, her presence cannot be ignored.

She shakes palms with everybody, introducing herself warmly earlier than taking her seat, cautious to not destroy her glamorous gown.

It’s clear Kang is a highly-intelligent lady from early conversations. She has humour, compassion and a number of information in what she talks about.

Her multi-club possession mannequin has change into a subject of dialog as ladies’s soccer continues to develop and explores new methods to hunt income.

She has invested closely in London Metropolis Lionesses’ infrastructure, taking part in workers and female-specific analysis and it has paid off thus far.

Will it change into a mannequin that others comply with?

“Within the absence of another various, it isn’t unreasonable to assume, ‘oh, that’s what she is doing’. I get that. My job is to make sure I do not try this to allow them to respect they don’t seem to be the identical fashions.

“It’s not about constructing a feeder system – that isn’t the aim. It’s to convey vital scale so we will put money into all the required infrastructure and analysis how our gamers must be one of the best athletes. So we will put out one of the best product, so we will convey extra individuals into the stadiums, and the media finds ladies’s sport engaging.

“It is all associated and all essential. Whereas we’re speaking about comparisons… ladies’s soccer may be very completely different to males’s soccer. We must always actually deal with this otherwise.”
