Obviously, times can be tough but I think what's special in team sports is that you have each other's backs through the good times and the bad. - Alessia Russo

I want every girl to feel like football's a place for them, whether they want to coach, play, referee.

Football has always been about having fun and that's why I got into it when I was a young girl. You learn lessons about yourself and how you react in different situations.

When you're on the pitch, it's easy to focus. But when you're away from it, the noise can get quite loud sometimes. It's just about staying focused and locked in and obviously listening to the people you trust and care about. And not letting it affect you, especially on the pitch.
