While Celia Sasic announced this week the birth of his daughter (Mila), it is an American player who is now asking the question of his career and his wish to start a family. This is Alex Morgan! At 26, the striker, superstar, showcase of women's football in the United States and around the world, think it would be the right time for her to become a mother, as reported by the American website democratandchronicle.

"I always told myself when I was younger that I wanted to have a child when I will be 27 years old, to be honest," The player who will celebrate her 27th birthday on July 2nd, said Thursday afternoon " it would be perfect if I was ready after the Olympics, "

The perfect timing for the American superstar, and her husband Servando Carrasco, who plays for the MLS team, Orlando City. There will be no major competition before the 2019 World Cup in France.

Before adding: "I live the present moment now, I will take year after year.Today, I can not imagine to take a long break to found my family after the Olympics". "I do not know, maybe the next step (World Cup / Olympic Games 2020), maybe a few more years, but not next year, I do not think so."

This question was often asked by the media, especially American, but the player has always avoided the issue, focusing primarily on his performance with Orlando Pride and the national team.

One would have thought that playing in the same club as her husband, Servando, would push Alex Morgan to put a foot in the maternity, but it is still difficult for him to leave his career aside.

"I like the fact that we are able to play in the same city and represent the same club," said Morgan, who already has two goals to his credit and a decisive pass with his Orlando club, while Shining so far in the national team (11 goals / 3 assists in 11 games). "But that was not the only factor in me wanting to be traded to Orlando (last fall). I sensed that it was perfect timing for all purposes. "

Orlando has clearly courted Alex Morgan in a bid to compete with Mickey Mouse (amusement park) in central Florida. That had the expected impact, since the crowd at the Pride matches is around 13,000 fans, just behind Portland with 16,000 spectators.

"Since I came here last year, the recognition of football (fans) has exceeded my expectations in this city," said Morgan about Orlando. "Not only the amount of season tickets, but the number of people who attend games, gather at the airport, and support us until the games outside." Before adding: "This (Orlando) is the only professional women's team in this region. [...] People have been longing for a professional women's team for a long time."

Without a doubt, this excitement around Women's Football and the National Team of Stars and Stripes, pushes the player to continue her career, beyond devoting herself to a family life with a child.
However, living with her husband, which is not easy for professional players, facilitates this possibility for Alex Morgan.

Morgan's national team mentor, who is none other than football legend, Abby Wambach also said: "Servando and she are a great mix and I know that Alex is bound to be even more successful, because she will be personally happy. "

While her team-mate and always in the national team Sydney Leroux, also 26 years, has meanwhile decided to go this far with her husband Dominic Dwyer, last January. Like the California native, Sydney Leroux left her previous club in New York to be transferred to the same club as her husband, Kansas City. Leroux is already expecting his first child for this month of September. For her part, Morgan wants to enjoy her new life in a new city, and spend most of the time with her husband, before going on to start a family.

"I'm really happy where I am and not only in life, but also in football," Morgan said. "I feel really happy with the game I'm playing on the field and the number of goals I'm able to score, the amount of work I'm able to provide for the national team and at the club level. "
