West Ham's Viviane Asseyi talks exclusively to Sky Sports about the power of Black History Month and her determination to trouble champions Chelsea this Saturday.
'I may be crazy, but I just want to win everything,' West Ham forward Viviane Asseyi explains, sitting down for an exclusive chat with Sky Sports at the club's Chadwell Heath training base, where there is a distinctive buzz in the air. 'When we start the season, the page is white - you have to write your history,' she followed in the next sentence, excited at the prospect of facing reigning WSL champions Chelsea, live on Sky Sports, on Saturday night.
'The football is a passion, but it's also my job, so when you feel 100 per cent yourself, the people don't judge you, you can do what you want. They want you to be the best version of yourself and so I feel more powerful - I hope the same will happen in other countries.' The campaign for equality, understanding and acceptance in sport is an ongoing one, and a divisive one at that, but something the 29-year-old embraces.
