English winglish!

Sara Duque

When footballers from overseas move to England, the first thing they do is hire a language coach. That's where Sara Duque, who has 150,000 followers on Instagram, has made a mark for herself. She was a sports lawyer before taking up a job as a football language coach at Porto. After one season with the Primeira Liga side in 2020, she went solo. Duque is fluent in six languages - Portuguese, English, German, French and Spanish.

One of her famous students is Manchester City's Argentine star Julian Alvarez, who was a part of the World Cup-winning side. According to The Sun, many WAGs have blocked her from working with their partners due to her good looks.

Duque Instagrammed a picture with Alvarez after he returned from Qatar and wrote: "From lifting the World Cup to conquering a new language-my student's talent knows no bounds! Impressive progress in such a short period of time. Very proud of my student!"

Thanks to Duque, Alvarez addressed fans in English after City beat Bournemouth last month. He said: "Hi everyone, Julian here. Thank you for the support today and I'm very happy for score a goal. Come on City!"
