In the last friendly match of the Brazilian National Team, a 4-0 rout over Jamaica on June 4 in Salvador, Jheniffer had a great performance and scored two goals. As a forward, she knows that her main role is exactly that, and if possible, she wants to repeat the feat at the Paris Olympics.
“I dream of participating in the Olympics and the possibility of scoring goals.
