Midfielder Angelina Constantino evaluates that the last period of tests and tactical training before the final call-up for the Women’s World Cup is very positive. The OL Reign (United States) player is one of the 12 athletes summoned by coach Pia Sundhage for the activities carried out at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (Rio de Janeiro). “Training here has been very intense. We are trying to focus on the physical part, take advantage of this period of training that we are having to reach the level of those who are playing. Surely the girls here are in that off-season period, so it’s to keep that physical part. It has been very intense, but always keeping our technical and tactical part together as well”, declared the midfielder to the website of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

It’s a unique feeling. I really believe that this group will do something different at this Worlds”. After being called up for the World Cup (which will be played between July 20th and August 20th in New Zealand and Australia), the team led by Swedish coach Pia Sundhage will play their last friendly before the ball rolls in the World Cup, against Chile, starting at 10:30 am (Brasília time) on July 2, at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasília (Federal District).
