Discussing her fondest memory of the Blues, she said: &#8220;For me, I didn\u2019t get the chance to go [to games] as much as I would have liked to growing up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;My best memory has to be the Champions League final in Porto. What a night, Havertz rounding Ederson will forever be engraved in my soul.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Porto will surely be a fond memory for all Chelsea supporters.

Please, anyone win it but them!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With the new ownership coming in and a plethora of new players, it does feel that the playing staff are lacking leadership and identity, leaving Frank Lampard with the massive task of steadying the ship until the end of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Departure of Graham Potter and the Return of Frank Lampard<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/04\/02\/chelsea-fire-graham-potter-after-aston-villa-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">departure of Graham Potter<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and the return of Lampard as caretaker boss has dominated Premier League news recently, and Astrid was clear on her thoughts regarding the change of manager: &#8220;Potter definitely wasn&#8217;t the right manager. I&#8217;m glad to see the back of him. I am so excited to have Lampard back &#8211; even in this short time he will show the players what it means to be a Chelsea player.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/03\/31\/chelsea-edge-united-victor-osimhen\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chelsea Could Have \u2018Edge\u2019 Over Manchester United in Pursuit of Striker<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The appointment of Graham Potter was on a five-year deal, which saw the Stamford Bridge club\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/soccer\/chelsea-engchelsea\/story\/4741541\/chelsea-hire-graham-potter-from-brighton-as-thomas-tuchel-replacement\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">pay \u00a316 million to release him<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> from his Brighton contract.

For his age, how that man is still playing professional football is a mystery, let alone at the very top with Chelsea.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There have been rumours linking Mason Mount with a move away from Chelsea, with the club struggling to convince the English midfielder to sign a new contract with them<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Astrid was bullish about Mount. &#8220;He\u2019s not having the best season, but Mason Mount will always have a special place in my heart.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/03\/27\/manu-kone-psg-united-chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chelsea Interested in French Wonderkid<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Apart from Stamford Bridge, it&#8217;s always intriguing to find out from match-going fans what is their favourite stadium.

I was asked to fight back in May last year and did it because I thought it would do well for my social media.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/02\/23\/jorginho-reason-leaving-chelsea-join-arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Champions League Winner Was Told He Was No Longer Part of the Clubs Plans<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Since the beginning of this boxing journey, I have genuinely fallen in love with it, fought twice in front of several thousand in person and hundreds of thousands streaming online. 100% I will have a new fight announcement coming soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;After training, I will film TikTok videos, YouTube videos, OnlyFans content, and general media all day. &#8220;Then finish that around 7 pm and train again in the evening in the gym. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Finally, I\u2019ll come home and chat to my subscribers on OnlyFans until I fall asleep.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Misconceptions and Surprises<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Being in the public eye and being judged is something many go through, and Astrid commented on the one misconception about her that she wishes she could change: &#8220;Some people think I\u2019m not a nice person. I am genuinely just a normal girl, who got a few followers by luck, to be honest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;I think because people only see 10\/15 seconds of me on TikTok, or a short out-of-context clip, I get a bit misconceived, which is understandable, but I\u2019m just the same as everyone else.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Real Astrid and What Does the Future Hold?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">George Eliot once said: \u201c<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/english-grammar-lessons.com\/dont-judge-a-book-by-its-cover-meaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">don\u2019t judge a book by its cover<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201d, but we&#8217;re all guilty of judging people too quickly.

The documentary shows her boxing journey and offers a fascinating insight into her character. Combat sports content creator Wade Plem offers an insight into the real Astrid when he says: &#8220;When you speak to Astrid, you see more than just what meets the eye, you see the person, you see the energy.
