Another player standing out in the Olympic Games is Tarciane, who, with 13 matches for Brazil and only four call-ups with Arthur Elias, is already showing her great preparation and excellence in wearing the national jersey.
Tarciane commented on the Brazilian National Team’s campaign leading up to the final, highlighting that the team’s goal is to come away with the gold medal.
“I think our group stage was very important for our strengthening in the competition. I believe we lost at the right moment. After the first phase, we faced two very tough teams, and even so, we managed to showcase our football. We played with a lot of grit and determination,” she said.
“I want to thank all the fans; you are very important to us. Now we have a final objective, which is to be champions. You can be sure that we will fight hard. I am confident that we are ready for this,” she added.
