Leader in the locker room, point of reference on the pitch, he doesn’t miss an appointment and wears the black and white shirt. No, we’re not talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, But say Barbara Bonansea, the Juventus women’s striker who with a fantastic brace allowed his team to win the Italian Super Cup 15 days ago.
Bonansea becomes like this the best scorer in the history of Juventus, having scored forty-seven goals, at least one in every competition in which the club has participated.
Rising to the fore in the summer of 2019, when the Italians, who had been sad spectators without a team to cheer on at the 2018 World Cup Russia (the Ventura national team did not qualify by losing the play-off against Sweden), improvised themselves as fans of trained girls by Milena Bertolini, Barbara Bonansea was born in Pinerolo 29 years ago and started playing football when she was only four years old thanks to the passion of his father and brother.
Very popular on social media, his Instagram profile boasts more than four hundred thousand followers, the Juve striker grew up in… Turin! Yep, that’s right. It was 2007 when he joined the Primavera in Granada, where he stayed for three seasons before moving to Brescia (and perhaps it was a good thing. The direct transfer from one part of the Mole to the other would probably have been too much even for the fans of the world of football in pink).
Fan of Luciano Ligabue, arriving at Juventus, Bonansea, has fulfilled the dream of all those who love football, to play for the team they support.
His favorite player? obviously Cristiano Ronaldo, with whom he was able to share a very special evening, that of the awards ceremony for the Best FIFA Football Awards 2020. “It was nice to be close to him,” said the Piedmontese, “and he’s nice, a humble and simple boy, much more than you might think”.
In 2019, at the end of the World Cup, Barbara decided to tell her story in a book entitled My free kick, where she traces the beginnings, the rise, recalls the emotions and the passion that led her to be the best Italian footballer and one of the most appreciated on the international scene.
“Never stop chasing your dreams” it is the assist that Barbara wants to give to her readers, a way to encourage them to give everything to achieve their aspirations.
It is mainly thanks to her and to Sara Gama (his captain in Juventus and in the national team) if women’s football is gaining popularity, attention and respect among Italian fans. But the moment is also golden on an international level, and in this case not for the deeds of a footballer, but for the great skills of the French referee. Stephanie Frappart, so good that she was designated for the Champions League match Juventus-Dinamo Kiev, won by the hosts last December 2 with goals from Chiesa, Morata and Bonansea idol Cristiano Ronaldo.
His contract with the bianconeri it expires at the end of the season, but for now she doesn’t think about it. After all, whether or not he stays at Juve, the goal will always be to throw him out of the bag!
