“Thank you for the affection. I know how many players would love to be here sharing this moment with us, and that’s why I cherish every moment here in France. I am very convinced that the National Team will achieve our dream,” Luciana said, receiving much applause.
Earlier, the team made final adjustments for the match against Nigeria. They trained at Chaban Delmas Stadium for just over an hour. Coach Arthur Elias made changes throughout the session, demonstrating that he has various game options.
