Tuesday afternooon was a special one on Juventus' official Twitch channel, with Lineth Beerensteyn joining live to speak directly to the fans.
Having recently made her 50th and then 51st appearances for the Bianconere, and currently leading the scoring charts in Serie A, Lineth took the time after a double training session to answer some of the fans' questions.
The recent win against Pomigliano and her brace
"It was an important win for us and it's always hard after an international break because everybody was away and you don’t have much time to prepare, but those games are always some of the most important during a season like this, so it was nice to win 4-0.
"It’s always nice to score and this season is going well, we needed a bit more time to score in the second half, but the whole game we were so sure of our way of playing, we were sure that we’d win, we were confident. Sometimes it takes a while to score that second or third goal but it doesn’t matter how long it takes, it’s important to win."
On the topic of her goals...
Among Europe's top-five leagues, no player other than the Dutch winger has had three games in which they have scored more than one goal. With 14 goals already this season for club and country, Lineth is on fire and she is also the top scorer in Serie A.
"Of course it makes me proud to be the leading goalscorer, it’s special to be number one on a list like that with so many good players. Personally I want to keep continuing in this way, to be important for the team and if I can do that with goals and assists then I’ll be really happy."
Battling with Roma and the Italian Super Cup
"Roma are the biggest team battling with us for the title, for sure. They’re doing well this season and our only loss came against them, they’ve won every game, so of course it’s going to be tough. It wasn’t easy last season and in the end they were the champions.
"But this season I hope it’ll be different and we beat them, no matter how. We know we can’t drop points because they keep winning, so we know we have to keep going like this and I know there will be a game when they struggle.
"I’m looking forward to the Super Cup. It’s always nice to play games like that because they are right beside us battling for the title, so every game against them is different to the rest. Now, at the beginning of January, we play with a prize on the line. Finals are the best games you can play, so I’m really looking forward to the game."
