She is as comfortable with the ball in front of goal as in front of the microphones or on her social networks.
Above all, Ada Hegerberg says out loud what many are thinking in a whisper.
And it does damage!
Latest example on Monday with a tweet in which the Norwegian striker from Lyon castigates the attitude of the French Football Federation (FFF) which wishes to organize the European Women's Championship in 2025.
The first female Ballon d'Or in history in 2018 did not need many dribbles to get her message across.
Straight to the point as always.
“Organizing international competitions is good.
Investing in our championship is better.
We are picking up and the CDM 2019 (
Editor's note: World Cup organized in France
) had no impact, ”tweeted the player in response to a publication from the FFF which dated February 3 and in which the instance announced to be a candidate for the Euro.
The Fed then justified its decision by recalling "the success of the organization of the FIFA Women's World Cup in France in 2019".
Obviously the player is not of the same opinion.
Organizing international competitions is good.
Investing in our championship is better.
We are picking up and the CDM 2019 had no impact.

This is not the first time that Ada Hegerberg has attacked national and international authorities.
Last spring, she notably castigated the FFF for its idea of reducing the French division 1 championship from twelve to ten clubs.
" It's a shame.
The Women's World Cup in France was just an illusion.
Might as well have a small tournament one weekend in May if we disturb the French Football Federation.
Congratulations to all, “she had launched, again on Twitter.
Organized under the aegis of the FFF, the Women's Division 1 has 12 clubs including two locomotives, Olympique Lyonnais (seven times winner of the Women's Champions League) and PSG, reigning French champions. But the French Championship is losing ground against its competitors such as the English League, a rising star on the continent, or the Spanish Liga led by FC Barcelona, winner of the 2021 Champions League after five years of OL supremacy.
On October 20, Ada Hegerberg, who DJ Martin Solveig asked if she knew how
to "twerk"
during the Ballon d'Or ceremony, also criticized the idea of a World Cup every two years, a controversial project currently carried by Fifa.
“To chain the tournaments, it is very hard physically and mentally.
This shows that those who make the decisions are not on the field and have no consideration for the players, ”she said in an interview with AFP.
