Megan Rapinoe: Dzsenifer, it’s so awesome to sit down and chat with you today! How have you been? You seem to juggle everything so effortlessly, from those amazing assists to scoring fantastic goals. What’s your secret?
Dzsenifer Marozsán: Hey, Megan! It’s great to catch up with you. Honestly, it’s all about loving what you do, right? If you have passion, everything else just falls into place. But come on, you’re the reigning queen of excellence both on and off the pitch! How do you manage to keep your game so consistently top-notch while also championing so many important causes?
Megan Rapinoe: (Laughs) Ah, flattery will get you everywhere, Dzsenifer! But seriously, it’s the same for me—when you care deeply about something, whether it’s the game or social justice, you find the energy. Speaking of passion, your move to Lyon has led to quite the trophy haul. Did you expect such a rapid accumulation of silverware?
Dzsenifer Marozsán: Not exactly! Winning so many titles with Lyon has been a dream. It’s like every season we set higher goals, and then smash them. It’s incredibly fulfilling. I do have to ask—how does it feel being such an icon, not just for your football skills but for your activism?
Megan Rapinoe: Honestly, it’s a mix of pressure and privilege. You want to set a good example and use the platform wisely. To bring it back to you, Dzsenifer, you’ve been such an inspiration to many young athletes, especially German girls dreaming about a life in football. Any advice for them?
Dzsenifer Marozsán: Absolutely. My biggest piece of advice is to never let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve something. Whether you’re aiming for the Bundesliga, NWSL, or any top league, believe in yourself and put in the hard work. And importantly, enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
Megan Rapinoe: Well said! Now, a fun question—if you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Dzsenifer Marozsán: Oh, that’s a tough one! I think I’d love to time travel. Can you imagine witnessing some historic football moments in real-time? How about you, Megan?
