Inter Women, Vilhjálmsdóttir reveals her role models: “Ronaldo is my idol”
The Nerazzurra player discusses her inspirations: Ronaldo as her idol, while she looked up to Steven Gerrard as a child.
Guðrún Arnardóttir Vilhjálmsdóttir spoke today, Sunday 25 October 2026, about the champions who influenced her development as a footballer. The Inter Women player named Ronaldo as her idol, while also revealing a particular admiration for Steven Gerrard that began during her childhood.
The reference to the former English star adds a personal detail to the Nerazzurra’s journey. Gerrard was a role model for Vilhjálmsdóttir when she was a girl, whereas Ronaldo remained the player who most strongly fuelled her passion for football. They are two different figures, but both combined talent, personality and the ability to influence matches: qualities that help explain the type of players she watched during her formative years.
The story arrives as Inter also look ahead to the men’s first-team schedule. After beating Bologna 3-1 on 17 October and defeating Shakhtar 1-0 on 21 October, the Nerazzurri will face Venezia on Wednesday 28 October at 18:30. The derby against Milan follows on Saturday 31 October at 20:45, before the Champions League trip to Feyenoord on Tuesday 3 November at 21:00.
