Billa elected to Austria's footballer of the year

Nicole Bill is Austria's footballer of the year 2021. The striker of 1899 Cofferdam prevailed in the fourth edition of the choice carried out by the APA — Austria Press Agency among the sports of the ten women's Bundesliga teams and triumphed as the first player for the second time. With 25 points, the 2019 excellent 25-year-old Tyrolean for a new record mark, also her lead was so great as never before. Bavaria Legionnaire Sarah Brazil, which was premier winner in 2018, shared with Frankfurt Barbara Dust (each 9 points) rank two. Bill's success was a little surprising, she had managed two coups in the past season with the profit of the Goal Hunter Crown in the German League and the election to Germany's footballer of the year. Even in the current season, the striker on Club plate and the OF national team impressively demonstrated their Goalkeeper qualities impressively.

The award was a personal highlight at that time and is now the same. That rounds the last year again perfectly, said Bill. She was no longer surprised by her triumph, the numbers in 2021 were imposing. 9 of their 23 goals on the way to the Schützenkönigin scored in the spring, in the current season she is with seven hits as fourth also in the top field. In addition, four hits in the Champions League and Elf — nine in the World Cup qualifier — in the OF team dress. She is a player who can shine in the box by their final strength, so extremely important for our team, said Cofferdam coach Gabor Galleys. But not only the gates of the OF striker are important. She is not necessarily the tube of the team, but hits many important decisions in the square. That's why you can see them as a guide player.

Club change? You will see what will happen

In the national team she is also that, the big gap after the career end of record goalkeeper Nina Burger has closed it. With 37 hits, there is no more missing on the bottom of its predecessor (48). I'm not thinking about it, the ultimate goal is to stand with joy and fun at the place, says Bill again and again. 2021 was obvious. Also, very much for the joy of Irene Furman. She is one of those players who are going on, role models and inspire the young generation, said the OF team boss.

It is important not only because of their gates. She's extremely ambitious and an absolute driver. That's why many doors are open in the future. I am convinced that she has not yet reached the end of the flagpole. If she is even more efficient, then she is not stopping, knows Furman. Already in the summer, European top clubs knocked on, but Bill decided for a whereabouts in Cofferdam, where it has been under contract since an extension at the beginning of the year until summer 2023. It was nice to hear these offers all once and see, but in the end I have heard on my gut feeling anyway and so far it did not deceive me, said Bill. The financial is not in the foreground with her. Regardless, it can imagine a transfer. You will see what is still happening, the Tyrolean stops everything open. Especially the EM in summer offers a perfect stage.

Successes do not change at ground level

There, she could also ensure abundant media presence, as that was the case in the summer. It was of course very cool in a breath with Robert Lewandowski to be called and with him and the best coaches to be on the title page of the greatest German sports direction. That was very cool, said Bill insight. Nothing has changed at their down to earth. And she always emphasizes the meaning of teammates: That I have gotten the cannon, not only is to me. It always belongs a whole team.

She is not placed alone as a jumper in kindergarten, a part-time job she continues with passion. I am a person who is incredibly happy to work, the children very appreciated and like to have around him, because they radiate so much joie de vivre, where one can often cut off a slice as an adult. The compensation for sports is doing well, even if the intense autumn has come too short. Next year, if the double burden is not so high, the children will see me more often, announced the OBLAST.

Christmas spends Bill, at which the Corona theme is also non-trailed, including about two-week holiday in the circle of the family in Tyrol. With cozy satisfaction, good food and various games, the biggest Christmas wish without gifts already fulfilled. Just enjoy that you have the family with you.
