Ada Hegerberg: It’s ‘impossible to not be standing for equality,’ says Ada Hegerberg

CNN  

CNN — It doesn’t take long to understand what type of person Ada Hegerberg is. “I’m so, so sorry, I really hate being late!” she says, visibly irked despite being only four minutes behind schedule for the start of this interview. “My philosophy is that when I get back I really want to be stronger than ever, and for that you need time and you need to know your body, your mind and know when the right time is to get back.” Hegerberg kisses the UEFA Women's Champions League trophy after Lyon beat Barcelona in Budapest on May 18, 2019. “When he talks about the fact that it’s lonely at the top and got emotional at the end of one episode … It really got me because I really understood what he meant. “We woke up and a family member told us and we were like, ‘What?’ We were more thinking about watching a game in the Bundesliga, so we had other things on our mind.”
