Alisha Lehmann, the most famous Swiss footballer-influencer of Federer-Corriere.it

If King Roger (Federer) has abdicated, Switzerland has a new queen. Who doesn’t play tennis, but football. And he’s called Alisha Lehmann. Class of ’99turned 24 on January 21, the striker is a pillar of Aston Villa, in England, and of the national team (34 appearances and 7 goals so far).

The “most important” victory, however, at the moment Alisha reached her on the virtual field, reaching 11.4 million followers, bypassing Federer (11.2) — even if the most popular “Swiss” is, however, Ivan Rakitic who has more than 17 million thumbs up. But Lehmann’s numbers are higher than those of legendary female players such as Alex Morgan (9.8 million) and Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas (2.4 million).

Despite not disdaining fashion shows as a model, and also various influencer poses (for example, she participated in a calendar), Lehmann is still a footballer
true: she started playing at the age of 9, made her debut in Serie A at 17, and has been in the Premier League since 2018, where Women are really serious (before moving to Birmingham, she played for West Ham). Wear the shirt no. 7 and, of course, when he scores he rejoices pointing at it, in tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo.

We will see you again soon: has already played against Italy in the World Cup qualifiers: the two national teams have hit their target and will be competing in the summer Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Switzerland is included in group A with the Philippines, Norway and New Zealand, in fact, Italy is in group G with Argentina, South Africa and Sweden. A cross, in theory, is possible in the quarterfinals.

Like many athletes, she has previously been linked to someone from the environment: until last year he was paired with colleague Douglas Luiz, one year older, Aston Villa midfielder, an old Roma goal. Rumor has it that the breakup came over some too racy photo Alisha allegedly posted. If it is true she can now console herself with the record of followers.
