"Alexia Putellas has just appeared at the Spanish women's team's training camp in Las Rozas complex north of Madrid, with a surprising change in appearance in the style of Rapinoe (US female player)", AS said.

"This is a very surprising transformation of Alexia Putellas. She has abandoned her usual charm and platinum blonde hair, to switch to pink hair and a stylish "rebellious" outfit. This change is causing a storm on social networks, for a special reason: Alexia Putellas' hair color has reminded of Megan Rapinoe at the 2019 Women's World Cup in France", according to AS .

The reason why female players change their appearance is very special and only women can understand. "I always tell myself: make your appearance okay, when you feel good and good, you will play well, in that order. You have to have something for yourself. When you have that, you will go out on the field to play or do anything else with less pressure," Megan Rapinoe once explained about her bold style at the 2019 Women's World Cup.

"It's a fun way to express my style and personality. Obviously at a World Cup, everything is very serious and stressful. I always want to look beautiful, if you play sports do you have to be masculine? I can be strong, competitive and feel beautiful," Megan Rapinoe added.

With her style, Megan Rapinoe had a brilliant 2019 Women's World Cup, she helped the US women's team win the championship for the second consecutive time and the fourth time. She also won the Women's World Cup Golden Ball and the title of Top Scorer.
