Coach Arthur Elias can now count on all 26 players called up for the two friendly matches of the women’s football team against Colombia, in Cariacica (ES). Midfielder Angelina and striker Adriana, who play for Orlando Pride, in the United States, arrived this Wednesday (23) at the hotel where the Brazilian team is based, in Vitória. Brazil faces the Colombians this Saturday (26), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), and next Tuesday (29), at 7 pm. The games will be held at the Kleber Andrade Stadium, in Cariacica (ES), and will be broadcast live on TV Brasil.
Among Arthur Elias’s squad for Saturday and Tuesday’s games, 12 were part of the silver medalist team at the Paris Olympics, in France. There were 13 names, but Gabi Portilho was cut due to discomfort in her knee – fellow striker Marília, from Cruzeiro, was called in place of the Corinthian.
Among those remaining from the Olympic campaign is defender Tarciane, who, like Gabi Portilho, was nominated for the Ballon d’Or award, from France Football magazine, as one of the 30 best players on the planet this season. Negotiated by Corinthians with Houston Dash, from the United States, in April this year, for R$2.59 million, the defender was the most expensive signing in Brazilian women’s football until September, when striker Priscila was sold by Internacional to América, from Mexico, for R$2.8 million.
“We are very focused on starting practically everything from scratch, with new girls in this cycle. We are going to commit ourselves to training, understand Arthur’s style of play, help the other girls. All this, even with even more energy due to what we did at the Olympic Games”, said Tarciane, at a press conference.
