Rather than the name of a star, her first name sounds more like a famous comet which crossed terrestrial skies in 1986. She is Haley Bugeja, a sixteen years old Maltese footballer, a pure football talent that, as comets, passes a few times in life.
There’s no doubt that Bugeja is a predestined: it’s very hard to see in one of the most important Europe’s League such a young girl – at her debut – taking the ball on the three-quarter and arriving in front of the goal after dribbling four opponents. The videos of the two goals scored in Sassuolo’s win over Napoli Femminile, as her dribbling speed and execution technique, quickly spread all over Italy and half Europe.
In an exclusive interview, young Bugeja talks about the particularly day-dreaming moment she’s living in. She talks about her dreams with the simplicity and the light-heartedness typical of her young age.
“My dream is to win the Champion’s League and to represent my country in an important tournament”.
These simple words recall the same ones declared about a half century ago by a kid who later became the best football player in the world.
