Juventus player Alisha Lehmann revealed in an interview with 'La Repubblica' a curious conversation with her partner, also a footballer, Douglas Luiz. The Swiss player admitted that she is bothered by the wage gap between male and female players, even though they both do the same job.
The driving force for change in the way women's football is perceived by the rest of the public is already a reality. The changes are evident and the inequalities have been reduced over the years. However, there are still some areas where improvements are needed and one of them is in pay.
A reason that has angered popular Juventus player Alisha Lehmann, who expressed her dissatisfaction with this in an interview for 'La Repubblica': "Everyone would like to have the same salary. I often speak to Douglas at home about this and tell him it's not fair," she said.
"We do the same job, but he gets paid a hundred times more than me. It's something that affects me because I'm a woman. Obviously, there's still a long way to go on the path we're on because there may never be equal pay.
"There will have to be a very strong will to make a change in this direction. If someone comes to me with jokes, I always ask them 'Have you ever seen a match?' Probably not, because when you see a match you realise how good and passionate we are," Lehmann concluded.
