In a mix of players who made history, such as Marta and Cristiane, and newcomers such as strikers Amanda, from Palmeiras, Eudimilla, from Ferroviária and Jheniffer, from Corinthians, as well as full-back Kati, also from Corinthians, Arthur Elias promotes the meeting of athletes who won over women’s football fans with Amarelinha, in World Cups, Olympics and Pan-American Games, and those who arrive with the determination to perform at their best during training.
Bringing athletes from different generations closer together is one of the coach’s goals, who highlighted the importance of integrating not only the players who make up the main team, but also the coaching staff of the different categories of the women’s team. For Arthur Elias, this exchange is important to strengthen all groups (both the base and the professional).
At night, there was the first meeting between the athletes and the new technical committee. During the meeting, the guidelines and objectives for the team’s preparation in the coming days were transmitted. Arthur Elias leads his first training session with the Brazilian Women’s Team on Tuesday (19).
