Manchester City forward heaps praise on Usain Bolt after making history with the England-based club.
Manchester City forward Khadija Shaw has applauded double world record holder (100m and 200m) Usain Bolt for the support he has accorded her since she made the move to the England-based club.
In an interview with Manchester Evening News, the Jamaican football star explained that Bolt always reaches out to her and encourages her to keep going in her football journey.
“He’s always been supportive. We speak about my progress, and we have a good relationship. When he’s in town he lets me know and we will link up,” Shaw said in the interview.
Bolt’s encouragement has worked out well for the 26-year-old who was able to score 31 goals during the 2022-2023 season. In the process, she became the first Jamaican to be nominated for the Ballon D’or award.
For the 2023-24 season, she continues her hot streak and she is the current leader of the Golden Boot race having so far netted nine of Manchester City’s 26 goals.
“In certain aspects, if I’m struggling, whether that means strength work, I’ll reach out to him. We had a really good conversation in March, and he told me some things I could work on where I could get an edge over defenders and stuff like that,” she added.
“I think for me the sky’s the limit. I think there’s a lot more room to improve, especially when I watch back my videos. It’s about keeping my head down, working hard on the pitch, building good relationships with my teammates and just keep pushing on.”
