Quotes
“I expect an extremely difficult game against Brazil. Firstly because it’s a World Cup final, and secondly because Brazil’s individual quality is extremely amazing and it goes together with all their experience. I hope it will be a good game of futsal, a good final, and that it will do justice to women’s futsal.”
Ana Catarina Pereira, Portugal goalkeeper
“It’s a dream of every player to reach the biggest game possible. We want to thank all the Portuguese people who supported us from the beginning to the end. The keys for Portugal are believing until the end and giving everything we have. If we believe and give everything, we can beat anyone.”
Janice Silva, Portugal pivot
“Portugal are a great side. They’re a team with really quick and talented players. We’ll have to analyse every little detail. Our marking will have to be spot on and we’ll have to play our own game, like we have been. I think it’s a great game for the spectators. It will be a great final.
Bianca, Brazil goalkeeper
“I think the Portuguese national team is similar to ours. They have a lot of experience, a lot of individual quality, and they work well together to score goals and defend. We’ll have to be very cautious. I think it will be a great game worthy of a final.”
Debora Vanin, Brazil winger
