It is not frequent to see a professional footballer being delighted to accumulate sixty minutes of play in three meetings. But these appearances chained in the space of 12 days, against BK Häcken, Benfica and Montpellier, are worth gold for Ada Hegerberg, who had not been able to participate in any official match since January 2020. Seriously injured in the right knee then on the left shin, the top scorer in the history of the Champions League (53 goals) has finally found the ground, with three major successes. If she has not yet been able to score since she returned, the Norwegian striker is very optimistic.
“I’ve been enjoying every moment since my return, it’s a great personal victory,” she says. With time and work, things will get back to normal. I am convinced to return to the level I want to be. “The 26-year-old ensures that she” never doubted coming back “, despite a long crossing of the desert. “Of course, it’s something I would have liked not to experience, but it’s part of me now, continues the 2018 Ballon d’Or. I transform it as a force for the rest of my career. “

A career that she obviously sees relaunching in Lyon, where she extended her contract until 2024, in December 2020. “When you play for OL, you always have to try to win all the trophies,” recalls Ada Hegerberg. I want to help the team to come back after the failure of last season, because it is important to remain the best team in Europe, if not in the world. And that’s why I can’t wait to get back to my best level, string matches and score goals again to break all records. “No doubt, the insatiable” warrior “(220 goals in 185 games with OL) has not changed so much.
