"When you come home and you’ve won, you’ll be energetic and to go back to a quiet place with all that adrenaline going is not for me. I like to hang out with the other girls, chill and just enjoy the win."

"I’m loud when it comes to celebrating. I like to be around people after a game."

"It’s important for me to have fun. On the pitch, off the pitch and cerebrate if you win."

"It’s so important to be yourself and follow those ambitions. Regardless of what people say."

"I want to be one of the best players in the world. That’s my goal, that’s what I want to achieve."

"I basically live in the moment, game by game."

"I love football so much but it’s also important for me to switch off in order to perform well. I need to switch off after training so that I am mentally fresh for the next session."

"I don’t like to tell myself “you need to score ten times”."

"My focus is always on that particular game and that moment. I try not to think beyond that."

"A lot of people set targets and that works for them but for me I just live in the moment."

"Pressure! No, I’m pretty chilled. I go game by game, week to week rather than setting goals."

"I’m focused on playing well rather than searching for fame or anything like that."

"I wouldn’t say I’m looking for attention or the spotlight, no. I’d say that if I deserve the spotlight because of how I’m playing then I’d want it but for me I’m driven over good performances rather than looking for attention."

"It is strange but I’m proud to be considered a role model. It’s almost weird to hear those words but they mean a lot."

"I feel that everyone has their own thing about them that makes them unique."

"We’re comfortable, we have fun and we’re successful."

"I do play better when I have a sense of freedom on the pitch. Any time I’ve got that, I’m happy."

"Now I’m older and a more important player. And while that brings pressure with it, I like it too."

"I hope to continue to inspire female athletes all around the world that if you want to have a kid and you want to come back and be at the top of the world, you can, you can absolutely do that and today’s a testament to that."

"The Commission plays a vital role in representing the voices and interests of athletes in our sport, and I am committed to continuing the work done by my predecessor,"

"I tell them about what I do when I’m down, how to get out of my own head. I give them a lot of wisdom."

"I love to see women excel, it is not every woman that is in my position or the position to come to this big event, she says."

"Making the transition from player to coach was really difficult, I’m not going to lie. There is not a lot of women coaching because when we’re done, we just want to have families. But because I have so much passion I want to stay in the game, I choose to give back to the young ladies."

"There is always room for improvement, always. Everything can be improved."

"I always want to win no matter what."

"I have always been very competitive so when it comes to motivation, I haven’t really needed much motivation other than wanting to win."

"At the end of the day is all about being yourself and feeling comfortable in your own skin."

"There are people that don’t know how to find their identity and the things they like, you need to experiment, try new things. Try new clothes, try a new hairstyle, but most importantly have what ever makes you comfortable."

"I think it is essential, you are never going to be more real than being yourself."

"I started gaining confidence as I have grown up, I gained experience, I gained moments, which when you find yourself in that situation again you know what to expect, you know how to act and how to resolve it."

"At the end of the day, the life of a sportsperson is relatively short, we invest so many hours on it."

"When you are younger you obviously have different taste and likes than when you are an adult."

"See, while football is a team game, and any achievement within it is reliant on working as a group, no matter which way you flip it it’s still made up of individuals – success is just based on whether these individuals manage to form a cohesive unit."

"My job is to play football and these are details that I shouldn’t get involved in but people in power who organise things make it [running women’s football] more complicated than it is."

"When you miss what you love the most, you start to value other things much more."

"There is no secret, it is of all of us: we always want to win. It’s ambition. I want to win every game, I train a lot for it."

"It doesn’t mean that I am overly cautious at every meal, it means that if I have had a bad dinner, the next day I have to take good care of myself. It’s not that I’m strict, it’s that I try to take care of myself."

"Nowadays you have a lot of tools and a better economy to be able to take good care of yourself, not before."

"Ultimately, when things start to improve, your ambitions do, too."

"We know that we’re a good team with good quality. Hopefully, we can achieve a lot."

"I’m just trying to make my best, to play good football, to adapt to the team and to get along with the fans."

"I think every player wants to be better"

"We've always given our best and we're not changing anything."

"We've always had the same mentality, we've always worked hard from the start and up until today it's been the same."

"To perform to your best, you obviously need to train well, but you also need a whole load of things beyond that: you need to rest properly, eat the right food, enjoy your free time… I need to be with my son, and he needs to be with me. Until now, it’s not something that had been considered, maybe because the situation hadn’t arisen. But I’m thankful for it."

"That aside, my experience is that of any mother or father - it’s about organising your life and relishing the time you spend with him. Bringing him up the best you can."

"Being a mother changes your life."
