England Lionesses and Manchester United striker Alessia Russo discussed everything off the pitch from insuring her backheel and manicures to coffee, with some 2023 World Cup ambitions thrown in there too.
The 24-year-old told Women’s Health UK’s YouTube channel in an interview of how she hopes to be included in Sarina Wiegman’s 23-player squad for the World Cup later this year, she said: “For an athlete, the World Cup is the pinnacle. Firstly, obviously, I want to get selected and go into the squad. But then I'd just like to [have] the same kind of energy that we had at the Euros, be positive, relax and just enjoy every second of it.”
The striker has been thrust into the media spotlight since lifting the European trophy, although it was the audacious semi-final backheel goal against Sweden that stunned the nation and subsequently put her on the map.
