00:00I'm so excited I think it's something that's very unique obviously it's the first time
00:05it's been done in the women's game and I think just the chance to see the
00:10kind of showcase of these players from all over the world coming to London
00:15for the club teams it's going to be so exciting and I think especially for that next generation
00:20as well there's probably a lot of players that maybe they see on TV that they've never been able
00:25to see up close but the fact that you've got Gotham FC traveling from America
00:30they're going to be able to see the likes of Rose Lavelle, Jess Carter, obviously the Arsenal players as well.
00:35but I just think it's great for the women's game I would have loved to I would have loved
00:40to I remember playing a friendly game against an American team and it was really good just to
00:45test I was at Manchester City at the time but test yourself against the best players and
00:50obviously we would play against America for England but would be once every four years.
00:55in the world cup so yeah I would have loved to have done this I think club football is all
01:00so very very special and so I think I was chatting to a few of the Arsenal girls last week.
01:05and they're so looking forward to it and the fact that the final is on Sunday and it's going to be
01:10at Arsenal's ground still tickets available then I think it just makes it extra special.
01:15and I hope they can make that final.
01:17Yeah I don't think this would have happened a few years ago.
01:20I think they would have probably been thinking will fans travel, will people be in travel?
01:25interested in it?
01:26will people kind of know the teams and the players?
01:28but I think this really does
01:30show how far the women's game has come on and it's just absolutely fantastic.
01:35I think FIFA's investment into the women's game and I know there's some prize money as well.
01:40so the teams will be really wanting to get their hands on that but yeah I think you're exactly right.
01:45it shows the the rise of the game and as I said before I think if you go back 10 years these competitions
01:50weren't happening but I really feel like this is the start of something exciting.
01:55but what it says is that there's global growth happening and that's what needs to happen.
02:00in respect to the women's game it needs to be globally growing every...
02:05every woman in the world every girl in the world every community should be able to be able to get...
02:10the opportunity to play football and play football against the best you know that's what...
02:15that's what's needed in the women's game the growth and the fact that the money's...
02:20coming from the let's say the pots like for instance whatever they win...
02:25now it goes back into hopefully grassroots level football then filters up back through the game...
02:30the game can grow sustainably I think it's something that we have to do and continue to do because...
02:35the women's game has to be grown around the world not just in England which is doing a great job England.
02:40right needs it around the world and I'm pleased that FIFA are right behind it and continue...
02:45to do so I can see with the future of this game it's only going to get better you're going to get better you're going to get more...
02:50teams you're going to get... you're going to get development you're going to get access and you're going to get investment and that's the...
02:55main thing yeah I'm super excited I think it's a great opportunity for us as a club...
03:00also for me as an individual obviously it's on a big stage and we get to play against different kinds of...
03:05competition so definitely looking forward to it yeah I definitely think it's grown a lot I mean especially...
03:10back home they just started a league which is massive and I think looking back...
03:15I have a younger sister so seeing that she can go through that pathway and hopefully make it somewhere here as well...
03:20it's just a great system that's happening yeah I think you know just showing up against...
03:25some of these top players I think it's an awesome opportunity to not only learn from...
03:30some of the best you know they wouldn't be here unless they were...
03:33but also just to...
03:35take in the opportunity and really perform and see you know if our...
03:40team is ready to be on top and at the highest level I think you know coming in...
03:45during pre-season is an interesting timeline for us but we did have a...
03:50short break so I think we're picking up at a great time and I'm just excited...
03:55excited you know to have this be the first thing and then go into our season...
04:00hopefully on a high...
04:02like I said it's a big responsibility...
04:05everything we wanted and today to be here is incredible...
04:10representing not only the Corinthians but also the Brazilian women's football...
04:13in front of different continents
04:15and since I believe that...
04:17I believe in this...
04:19I believe I'm a very important...
04:20the durable it is hard, it's hard to handle...
04:20and we want to be represented in the best way possible,
04:23to have a great legacy and show the strength of the future.
04:25Thank you very much.
