A Candid Chat with Daniëlle van de Donk and Vivianne Miedema
Daniëlle van de Donk: Hey Viv, thanks for taking a break to chat today. I know you’ve been swamped with training and matches lately!
Vivianne Miedema: No worries, Dani! Always got time for a catch-up. How’s everything going on your end?
Daniëlle van de Donk: Pretty good! Loving the vibe at Lyon. The team’s spirit is just off the charts. We’ve been working hard and gelling well on the pitch.
Vivianne Miedema: That’s awesome to hear. I’ve been following your games. You guys have been on fire! Speaking of fire, I saw that insane goal you scored last week. Pure magic!
Daniëlle van de Donk: (laughs) Thanks! Just tried to channel my inner Vivianne for that one. But seriously, your scoring record this season is unreal. What’s your secret?
Vivianne Miedema: Honestly, just trying to stay focused and work on different aspects of my game. Also, can’t underestimate the power of a good playlist before matches. Got any new music recommendations?
Daniëlle van de Donk: Oh, you know me – always on the hunt for new tunes! Have you checked out the latest from Dua Lipa? It’s perfect for getting hyped before a game.
Vivianne Miedema: Love Dua Lipa! Her beats are killer. We gotta make a joint playlist one of these days. But back to football, how are you finding the balance between training and personal life?
Daniëlle van de Donk: It’s a juggle, for sure. I make it a point to wind down with some quality me-time. Whether it’s yoga, catching up on a good book, or just FaceTiming family back in the Netherlands. What about you? How do you find that balance?
Vivianne Miedema: Similar boat here. I’ve gotten into painting recently. It’s a great way to unwind and get those creative juices flowing. Plus, it’s something completely different from the football grind.
Daniëlle van de Donk: Painting, huh? I had no idea. Maybe we should organize a team art session next time we’re both back in the Netherlands. Could be hilarious and relaxing!
Vivianne Miedema: Count me in! That sounds like a blast. And who knows, we might uncover some hidden artistic talents within the squad.
Daniëlle van de Donk: (laughs) Absolutely. So, before we wrap up, any exciting plans post-season?
Vivianne Miedema: Planning a little getaway. Thinking of hitting up some sunny beaches and just soaking in the vibes. How about you?
Daniëlle van de Donk: That sounds perfect. I’m thinking of a road trip across Europe. I’ve always wanted to explore more of the countryside and hidden gems.
Vivianne Miedema: Sounds like fun! Let’s catch up again soon and compare notes. Thanks for the chat, Dani!
Daniëlle van de Donk: Anytime, Viv. Always a pleasure. Good luck with the rest of the season!
