“Today we were worthy of Corinthians. It was a historic night. From the first moment, we believed, our fans believed. Unfortunately, football was decided in the details. The important thing is to defend this shirt, regardless of which match it is. Unfortunately we were unable to become champions, but now it’s time to prepare, keep our heads clear so that we can have an incredible year”, said Lelê.
Scorer of Brabas’ second goal, Vic Albuquerque commented that the silver medal also represents a lot for women’s football: “We came very close to the title. I feel proud. I feel that it was not a failure. We know that we need to evolve, especially in the structural issue of all the clubs in Brazil, and we are not here representing just Corinthians, but Brazilian football as a whole. And we showed the world that we are capable.”
Thanks to Faithful
Even though they were a minority among the 25 thousand people who watched the match, Corinthians fans sang throughout. At the end of the game, the Brabas went close to the sector to thank everyone for coming.
“To Fiel, any thanks is not enough because they are always with us, always supporting us in difficult times and giving us the strength to chase results too, said Ana.
Vic reinforced: “I’m a Corinthians fan, I’m always in the stands too and I know how much of a difference it makes for those on the field. Here we are so far away at home, we don’t have that feeling of family and we can feel that with the fans. They came from far away and showed the world that Corinthians fans are unique and inexplicable. What they did here is a source of great pride.”
