Kerstin Casparij on Balancing Football Fever with Life

Manchester City's Kerstin Casparij: 'I love football – but it takes over your life' | Manchester City WomenKerstin Casparij loves football, especially Champions League nights under the lights, but perspective is important too.

Ever wonder how a Champions League night feels for a Dutch full‑back? Kerstin Casparij thrives under the lights, yet she keeps a clear head, calling football her most important secondary thing in life as City heads to Milan.

She says a bad loss would ruin her day, yet she remains calm. Her family and friends are healthy, her meals are secure, and that peace lets her stay the person she’s always been, even when the pressure mounts.

The 26‑year‑old has already collected a league crown and FA Cup, and she matched the league’s top assist tally with three goals and seven assists. For my money, she’s on track to become a future captain. Could she lead City deep into next season’s European campaign?
