Alisha Lehmann sends furious voice note to ex-teammate after dispute over social media
Juventus star Alisha Lehmann has hit back at claims made by her former teammate. Lehmann, 26, has built up a big social media following, having amassed more than 16 million followers on Instagram. It has been previously claimed that she receives a whopping £245,000 per post on the social media platform. However, it has also been suggested that one of Lehmann's ex-teammates has accused her of spending too much time on social media. As reported by GOAL, Lehmann has now hit back at those claims made by her former Switzerland teammate. She said on the Juventus Creator Lab podcast 'Small Talk': "Normally, I don't really care [about online criticism]. But actually two weeks ago, she works in Switzerland for the Euros and stuff, and she is also an ex-player. She did this podcast with a newspaper in Switzerland. "And then she said things that actually hurt me a bit because I played with her in the national team and she went to the newspaper and said things like this. And I thought we were friends, I wouldn't say something like that." Lehmann added: "And I would never say something about another woman. And the thing is, if people have an opinion about my football when I don't play a lot or whatever, I don't care. It's your opinion, it's the game. "Football can change so fast, but if it's about my personal life, then it hurts me a bit. But only from people that I care about." In response, the forward revealed that she decided to send her ex-teammate a voice note. Lehmann continued: "I sent her a voice note and said I didn't think it was OK because you don't understand how my life works. She said that I spend too much time on social, with brands and stuff, and that's why my football is worse so I'm not playing or whatever. "And these things hurt me because if people actually see how much I work, like the players here at Juventus, we train every day, so hard and I'm so professional. I'm never late. "I do everything to be the best every day. And when people I know and who have knowledge of football say something like this, it's just a little bit sad, you know? It made me a bit upset but now it's fine."

‘I am a girl, people hate me for wearing make-up but I don't care': Juventus footballer Alisha Lehmann blasts trolls
Alisha Lehmann, the Swiss international for Juventus with 16 million followers on Instagram, has hit out against trolls who criticise her for wearing make-up during games. 'I'm a girl, I'm feminine, and I like nails. I'm not a full-back, I don't have to take throw-ins. People talk too much about these things; they don't influence my performance on the pitch in any way. They always criticize me for these things, but I don't care,' Alisha told the Sun. A few days ago she had talked about how the trolling amuses her. 'People always hate that I wear makeup when I play, but I don't understand what the big deal is. Sometimes I think it's funny when people get upset. Because now I feel like I put on more lipstick the more they complain. I'm not hurting anyone. It's my life, and it always will be,' she said on the YouTube channel 'Small Talk'. However she was upset when a teammate criticised her for same reasons. 'She said I spend too much time on social media, with my sponsors and things like that, and that's why my football has worsened. Things like that hurt me,' Alisha said. Alisha revealed that she sent a voicemail directly to that teammate: 'I thought we were friends. I would never say anything negative about another woman. And the thing is, if people have an opinion about my football—if I don't play much or whatever—that doesn't matter to me. That's their opinion, that's part of the game. But if it's about my life, it hurts a little, especially when it comes from people I care about.' The forward says that when she started playing as a six-year old, she was 'faster than the boys' and that she 'always knew I wanted to play football.' She identified the turning point in her life: 'the moment everything changed was when I joined Young Boys in Switzerland when I was 11 or 12,' but she added that 'I never believed I could become a real footballer. I never thought I would achieve it.'
