🎥 Between stadium buzz and pole vaulting: a chat about the Women's Euros | OneFootball

What happens when a national soccer player and a pole vaulter chat on the sofa about Google searches, equality, and stadium goosebumps? An honest, surprisingly personal conversation between two top athletes.

Luana Bühler and Angelica Moser sit together on the sofa and scroll through Google search results for their names. "It always shows 'friend' first. Then 'best performance'?" Bühler says, laughing. Moser glances at the display: "4.88 meters – but apparently, the sport isn't that interesting." When the word 'salary' comes up next, both burst into laughter.

They quickly switch from search queries to discussing their sports. Moser shares how easy soccer sometimes looks from the outside: "You feel like there's so much space next to the goalie – why not just score?"

Regarding equality, a difference emerges. In athletics, Moser says, conditions for men and women have been largely the same from a young age – even in training. For Bühler, it's often different in soccer: "A difficult topic. One where I hope things will change with the European Championship in the summer and the platform we get."

When comparing their shoes, they find surprisingly many similarities. "Actually, our shoes are similar," Moser says. Bühler proudly shows off her latest pair: "Every three months there are new colors – this one is for the European Championship, I'm really looking forward to it." Moser adds: "My spikes are naturally a bit sharper."

When it comes to the European Championship in Switzerland, Bühler shares that she is particularly looking forward to the game at St. Jakob-Park: "It was the first big stadium where I saw a live game." She describes how much the energy of a full stadium can influence the game: "When it gets loud as soon as you just play a ball forward – it really carries you. And it also affects the opponent when the whole stadium is against you."

Moser hardly experiences such atmospheres in athletics: "You never have fans against you." However, she appreciates the positive energy of the spectators – especially from children. Bühler recalls a little boy with a sign in the stadium. "His mother said that I'm the reason he now enjoys playing soccer."

In the end, the two exchange jerseys – a symbolic moment between two athletes who meet with respect and have much in common beyond their sport.
