“I started playing because of the motivation I felt when I saw that women’s football was growing more and more. Also because of the motivation generated by watching some men’s football matches, especially when Cristiano Ronaldo was playing, obviously,” she says, before adding.
“I played in some little-known amateur clubs. At first it started as a form of a hobby, but then thanks to all the support I received from my family and my environment, I was improving. I was always a forward, it was what I liked the most – scoring goals.”
The Swiss Women’s Super League attacker has been out with injury for the last few months, having torn her ACL. But that hasn’t stopped her from enjoying some downtime.
