Alisha Lehmann Rebuts Social-Media Critics, Explains Swift Exit From Como

She tells BBC Sport that critics overlook the rigorous routine she follows to prioritize performance.

Overview

  • Lehmann says people assume she trains then goes home to make TikToks, calling the perception frustrating and false.
  • She describes herself as highly professional, reviewing training metrics and doing extra work when she feels she has not met her standard.
  • She says football is her priority, taking daily afternoon naps and avoiding any pre-training or pre-match activity that could hinder her play.
  • After two years in Italy with Juventus and Como, she left Como about a month into a long-term deal because she disliked it and wanted to return to England, where she has joined Leicester City.
  • Her public profile remains vast, with more than 15 million Instagram followers and about 11 million on TikTok, intensifying both attention and scrutiny.
