Alisha Lehmann, the ultimate glam footballer, had to have a bodyguard at the Women’s Euros because of all the online hate and popularity she is been getting over her glam look on the bench. I mean, she’s out there killing it on the field and people are still hating on her. It’s crazy!
She has received widespread praise for her apparent good looks, and is often a target for autograph or selfie-hunting fans at games who are keen to meet the players.
As a result, home nation Switzerland have revealed that Lehmann has been given added protection as the tournament reaches the knockout stages and interest is ramped up even higher.
‘We always ensure that the safety of the players is our top priority in all stadiums,’ Sven Micosse, press spokesperson for the Swiss women’s national team, told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. ‘This is organized by UEFA during the tournament, and our head of security is always on site.
‘After the matches, he is always there when the players approach the fans, and due to Alisha Lehmann’s fame, he sometimes accompanies them a little further.’
Lehmann has been giving her followers a behind-the-scenes look into life at the Euros away from the pitch, as she embarks on sight-seeing trips and days off with her team-mates.
This week, she shared a snap alongside two fellow Switzerland players, donning a crop top, cap, sunglasses and three-quarter length trousers, giving her followers an insight of what the players are up to when not on the pitch.
Bild have reported that a ‘man in a suit’ often appears near Lehmann, focusing on her safety as the head of security at the Swiss national team. He is said to make sure she is safe as fans shout and hunt for photos and autographs after training and at games.
Lehmann has often been dubbed the queen of the Switzerland national team due to her social media following, but a recent UEFA post was hit with backlash as they shared news of Switerland’s quarter-final qualification.
One fan commented: ‘Is there really no better one?’ with it suggested that her team-mates are now growing in popularity ahead of her.
Major props to Alisha for pushing through and not letting the haters get her down. She’s a total boss and she deserves all the protection she needs. You all should show her some love and support – because haters will hate, but Alisha’s going to keep on slaying!
