“Fifteen minutes is not enough, but it is something. I hope that from now on we can always work together to improve in terms of structure and in every way,” said number 10, in relation to an improvement that was achieved at the request of several players. And she was categorical: “This is the purpose of everyone who is part of women's football. It has to be like this when it comes to asking. And I think they did nothing more than their obligation, right?”
In addition, the number 10 of the Verdeamarela stressed how demanding it is to compete at the highest level without adequate support. "It requires a lot of the physical part, a lot of preparation. We increasingly need to have an environment that provides it to us," she said and closed: "The growth of women's soccer also depends on the decisions that are made off the field."
