Scorer of the goal for Brazil, Debinha reinforced the evolution that the national team had in the second half, but claims that the small details were important for the final result of the match. This Saturday (29), Brazil suffered a setback and lost to France, 2-1, in Brisbane, for the second round of the World Cup.
“We improved a lot in the second half and we need to start like that from the beginning. They had the opportunities they were looking for and we knew they were going to make a barrier and end up being successful. We knew that the game would be decided in the small details and we have to pay more attention to them”, she said.

The national team is in third place, with three points, in Group F. France leads, with four, and Senegal is second, with four as well.
Debinha is one of the pillars of the team commanded by Pia Sundhage. Called up by the Swedish coach 22 times, the striker scored her 59th goal with Brazil’s shirt.
Regarding the next game, which will be against Jamaica, on Wednesday (2), in Melbourne, the attacker revealed that the only result that matters is the victory.
“Every time we enter the field we have victory as our objective. So against Jamaica, it’s going to be the same. We have to look for the three points from the beginning of the game. If we play what we played in the second half today, I’m sure we’ll come out with the win.”
Antônia also had a great participation in the match. In analysis, the full-back made an overview of the match and said what needs to be improved for the next games.
“When we’re under pressure, the free kick makes a lot of difference, just like it did for them today. We need to pay attention to these details, keep the ball a little longer and create a little more to be able to score more goals and come out with the next victory”, she evaluated.
On Sunday (30), the Brazilian team will have a day off. Antonia stressed the importance of this rest to continue in the World Cup.
“Every rest is important, regardless of the result, we would need this: rest our heads a little and adjust the next details. It’s a hard defeat, but we have to move on because the dream is not over.”
Canarinho returns to the field next Wednesday (2nd), at 7 am (Brasília time), to face Jamaica seeking to qualify for the knockout stage.
