There is no doubt about who was the main name of Brazil in the debut of the Women’s World Cup this Monday (24), with a 4-0 defeat of Panama, by Group F. In the press conference after the game, the player assumed that what she experienced at the Hindmarsh stadium, in Adelaide (Australia) exceeded any expectations she could have created. How many goals did you score, @_aryborges? Hat-trick for our shirt number 17! What a performance! #emBRAza, Ary!📸 Thais Magalhães/CBF pic.twitter.com/WwfSl2X2oG — Women’s National Football Team (@SelecaoFeminina) July 24, 2023 “Today is one of the happiest days of my life. Not even in my best dreams did I imagine a debut like this. If someone told me that before I entered the field, I would laugh at the person. It was very emotional”, highlighted the athlete. Ary, 23 years old, player of Racing Louisville (United States), noted that all of her goals were born from plays well crafted by the team and defined herself only as “lucky” for having completed the work of her teammates for the nets. Still moved, she said that the performance reminded her of the path she has built since she started dreaming of being a player, referring to herself by her given name, Ariadina. “Before taking the field, I remembered Ariadina, who made many sacrifices for Ary Borges to exist. I also remembered my family, the people who lived this dream with me. I wanted to make all of them proud and today I did it. Today Ary Borges is fulfilling all of Ariadna’s dreams”, said the player. Pia highlights Brazilian style in the third goal move Swedish coach Pia Sundhage spoke about the good performance of the selection in the first match, overcoming the understandable nervousness in what was also the debut for some athletes in a World Cup, as was the case of Ary Borges. According to the commander, over the four years of work she was more concerned with passing on knowledge, especially in the defensive part, since Brazil has a lot of talent offensively, as seen in the beautiful play of the third goal of the selection, scored by Bia Zaneratto. “When it comes to attack, we had many different solutions. The third goal was beautiful. It was not a goal that we teach. It was a typical goal for Brazil”, analyzed Pia. Technician Pia Sundhage greets the arbitration after the end of Brazil’s debut game in the Women’s Cup, with a 4-0 victory over Panama this Monday (24th), in Group F – Thais Magalhães/CBF/Reserved Rights According to her, the result and the performance gave the team confidence for the next duel, against France, on Saturday (29th). Pia Sundhage hinted that Marta, who started from the bench, will have a bigger role in this game. “She had not played for a long time and we wanted to prepare her for the next games to come”, justified the coach. Marta took the place of Ary, at 30 of the second half. According to shirt number 17 (chosen as the best on the pitch in her debut), Marta plays a key role in the selection’s group. “Once you get to know Marta as a human being, you start to admire her even more and understand why they treat her like a queen. She is an example on and off the field. Leaving her to enter was certainly an honor. I insisted on receiving the best player of the match trophy from her precisely for that reason. She is a very dear person within the group, our main reference and she needs to understand this role that she has”, explained Ary Borges.
