Marta, who replaced Ary Borges in Brazil vs Panama, was full of praise when assessing the performance of her teammate, who scored three goals in her World Cup debut
O Brazil won the Panama 4-0 for the debut of the Women’s World Cup. The technically driven selection sink sundhage featured three goals from Ary Borges to confirm the elastic score at Coopers Stadium, in Adelaide, Australia, this Monday, 24.
Brazil’s number 17 left the field at 30 minutes of the second half and was replaced by Marta, who is playing in the sixth World Cup of her career. In an interview with “SportTV” after the match, shirt number 10 was full of praise for newcomer Ary.
“Scoring three goals in a debut is not that easy and she [Ary Borges] was blessed. In fact, she scored almost four goals, as she provided an assist [para Bia Zaneratto]. If she didn’t have such a perfect read that Bia would be there, she could have tried to finish it. She was very happy. I was honored to have stepped into her shoes. I was even calmer. I entered when the game was already forwarded to Brazil”said the Queen.
Marta was also questioned about Brazil’s collective spirit. In an interview on the eve of the match, the number 10 said that this was the most united group in Brazil in all its six participations in the Cup. After the triumph over Panama, she highlighted:
“The whole game showed that [espírito de coletividade]. After we scored the fourth goal, Brazil continued trying to score more. The girls who entered, obviously, were willing to leave theirs, because the game gave us this situation. What we created today was precisely a collective work that we have been doing for a long time. I hope we continue like this throughout the Cup to win the title we’ve dreamed of”, completed shirt number 10.
