'We've trusted the process, and it's starting to pay off,' says Sevenius | OneFootball

But while the Finland international is enjoying her football and ensuring she soaks up every minute in front of the Newcastle faithful, she refuses to be totally content.

Sevenius knows there is a lot of football left to play this term and there remain areas of her game she wishes to improve; however, over the last few days she's made sure to revel in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Sunderland.

"I'm always focused on giving back to our fans because they give me so much energy," Sevenius told newcastleunited.com. "I've said it for a while now, but I have never seen fans like ours before.

"I think everyone can already tell, but I absolutely love our fans and I feel like I'm already becoming friends with them all."

It wasn't just long-time United fans who enjoyed witnessing Sevenius in full flow down the right-hand side at St. James' Park at the weekend - there were at least two overseas supporters in attendance, as Sevenius explained.

"My parents were at the game and they loved it," she said. "They said they have never seen a game quite like the one on Sunday.

"They absolutely loved everything about the derby, and the day after they were in the club shop buying everything they could. So I think they're the club's number one fans now."

Sunday's crowd of 18,972 was the highest across the WSL (Women's Super League) and WSL2 last weekend, and that's given Sevenius a taste of what she wants the future to look like - not just at Newcastle, but for the wider women's football landscape.

"I'd really like to get used to it (playing at St. James' Park in front of thousands of fans), and I wish we could play there every weekend," she admitted. "For me, though, I think that's what it should always be like.

"I believe it will be in the future for all of us, and I want to experience things like that again because it felt like there were way more people at the game than the attendance figure said."

Despite the Lasses extending their unbeaten run in the league to five games against the Black Cats, Newcastle's number 22 has sent a stern warning to her teammates and the rest of WSL2 as another international break edges closer.

"We want to keep building and improving all the time," she said. "We're happy that we're starting to win games and score more goals because we've trusted the process, and it's starting to pay off.

"We all know that we can still do better. So while we've enjoyed the win against Sunderland, we're making sure that we come back to reality quickly and begin training hard again.

"We'll all keep working hard because we know there is still a lot of work to do and a lot of games to play."
