In an exclusive interview with us, Nelly Las spoke about her whirlwind rise to stardom, her plans for the future, and the challenges of being a 17-year-old in the demanding world of professional women’s football.
"I’m still getting used to it all, to be honest," she admitted, reflecting on her rapid ascent. "It’s been a surreal experience, playing alongside some of the best players in the country. But I’m loving every minute of it. I’m working hard, learning every day, and trying to take in as much as I can.
"It’s not easy, of course. The physical demands are immense, and the mental toughness required to perform at this level is tough. But I’m driven to succeed, and I know I have a lot to offer."
When asked about her favorite part of the game, Las’s answer was instant: "I love the freedom of it all. I can take risks, try different things, and be creative. I feel like I can do something special every time I step onto the pitch."
As Leicester City continues to push for a top-half finish, fans are eager to see what the future holds for the 17-year-old phenomenon. While she’s under no illusions about the challenges ahead, Las is confident that her team can continue to surprise and impress.
"We’ve got a great group of girls, and we’re all working together towards a common goal. We’ve got some tough games coming up, but I’m confident we can take on anyone. We’ve already done it in the past, and I’m sure we can do it again."
The rest of the WSL will be keeping a close eye on Leicester City, as Nelly Las and her teammates look to continue their remarkable run of form. As the teenager herself acknowledged, "The what-ifs are endless, but I’m just trying to take it one game at a time and enjoy the ride."
