“But thankfully once again, God had something special for me in the end. I’m very happy”.

I spent a long time thinking about what to write here.
I could post a smiling photo, say that we’re “off to chase what’s next,” and pretend that everything is perfect. But it isn’t. And I want to be completely honest with you.
A huge change is ahead of us: moving to Chicago. And although I should probably be writing about excitement, today I want to tell you one thing: I’m honestly terrified.
The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster of extreme emotions for me. Barcelona became my home. My safe place, a city I loved with all my heart. The thought of packing again, leaving behind what I built, and starting over in a way simply scares me.
As a mother, I feel an enormous amount of stress. I worry about the girls and their emotions, about a new school, and about how they will find themselves in a completely new world. Anyone who has gone through such a big move with children knows how heavy that mental burden can be for a parent.
Life beside an athlete is not only about the bright moments. It also comes with difficult family compromises. Robert’s career path is now bringing us a new challenge. I stand firmly by his side and support him with all my strength, because we are a team. But as a woman, I have the right to feel fear. I have the right to feel overwhelmed, and today I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
I’m writing this because I know many of you are also facing changes in life that bring fear. I want you to know that it’s normal. That we don’t always have to be strong and “happy.”
I will continue working on the growth of my businesses, I will keep returning to Edan Studios, and I will keep developing the project. See you at a training session, at a camp, or in my beloved Barcelona.

Prospective super falcon spotted in Unizik. I think she has a great football potential.
If she finds herself in the right academy, she will definitely excel.
🚨 Do you intend to keep playing for a few more years?
💭 Leo Messi: "Yes, yes... I will continue for some time, as long as I can contribute, feel good physically, and help my teammates... I will keep playing."
The goalkeeper you see prostrating in front of you is genuinely living the best days of his life.
This is Benjamin Asare, Ghana’s 33-year-old goalkeeper, who made three saves today and kept a clean sheet against England before celebrating after the game with this prostration.
What makes his story special is that almost nobody knew who he was. For most of his career, he played in Ghana’s second division. On top of that, his financial situation was so difficult that he had to work on cocoa farms for three straight years just to support his family and keep his football dream alive.
The remarkable part is that Asare kept pushing until he earned a move to Ghanaian top-flight side Accra Hearts of Oak in 2025. He then received his first-ever call-up to the Ghana national team during the World Cup qualifiers, where he played six games and conceded just one goal.
Asare went on to become the first Ghanaian player in history to represent his country at a World Cup while playing in the domestic league. He also made six saves across games against Panama and England and didn’t concede a single goal.
Glory to those who never stop working for their dreams. To every Ghanaian reading this: congratulations. You should be proud. Stories like Benjamin Asare’s are what make football beautiful, and seeing one of your own rise from cocoa farms to the World Cup stage is something worth celebrating. 🇬🇭❤️
You burned someone else's child with melted rubber and did him all kind of evil.
And you have the guts to beg to take your own child together with you to prison, saying he is not feeling fine.
You see how your own child dey sweet you?
God will punish you well well for me.
