Player Interview: Hayley Raso

Chris Brookes talks to the Australia winger, who reached 100 caps in October and has moved to Eintracht Frankfurt after a difficult season at Tottenham. Raso admits her German is non-existent but has been pleasantly surprised by the country and the league, and describes a White Chicks dance routine as her initiation. She is direct about wanting to feel valued, saying she is the best version of herself with the Matildas, and about a disappointing exit from Real Madrid. With Joe Montemurro bringing fresh ideas to a group that has twice finished fourth, she sets her sights on the home Asian Cup rather than Brisbane 2032, and still fancies paramedic study one day.
