Crossing the ocean, stepping onto the pitch at the legendary Estadio Azteca in front of more than 40,000 fans, and hearing thousands of voices chant your name.
For many, it would be a dream. For Alexia Putellas, it's a reality she has already lived.
The new WSL ad is a masterclass in marketing and status. Closing with Alexia Putellas (last billing) is no coincidence: that final spot isn't given, it’s earned through contractual hierarchy. The queen crowning the commercial. 👑⚽️
Bold move from West Ham Women’s admin mocking Alexia Putellas, as if their entire club history has half the trophies sitting in her cabinet.
She's a global legend; you’re a TikTok account chasing clout. Stay in your lane. 🤫✨
@enitagirl Estaba viendo el live y, francamente, no entiendo por qué las americanistas son tan violentas. Se pelean por todo, pero acabo de ver que a su afición le gusta el antifutbol y es una pena que se viva como en el varonil. Espero que eso no llegue a otros estadios de la femenil.
No matter today's result, my faith is always with LCL. They are building a tactical, collective team that plays smart without risking players' physical safety. It just takes time, though maybe it's time for a new manager who actually backs the players on the pitch
4/ An ambitious project is not built by misusing world-class assets. The WSL demands the absolute highest level, and benches cannot afford absurd experiments with game-changing players. Let's call things by their name and put players where they belong! 📋⚽️
1/ 🚨 Unacceptable what we saw today in London City Lionesses' tactical setup against West Ham. For the coaching staff to move Alexia Putellas away from her usual position on the left is simply a major blunder and a sign of massive tactical incompetence. 🧵👇
3/ Alexia needs to start from the left to read spaces, combine with purpose, and dictate the match's tempo. Pulling her away from her natural habitat not only isolates her, but completely disconnects the team's creative engine. The result was clear on the pitch: a 2-1 defeat. ❌
It's been a long time since I saw Alexia lose. Anyway, London City needs to create more team play to take advantage of Alexia's tactics and her ability to think ahead of her opponents. I hope the coach has better ideas because this setup was wrong.
Alexia, es el espejo en el que se reflejan miles de niñas que hoy pisan un campo de fútbol con la certeza de que ellas también pueden llegar a la cima.
