Brazil women visit Minas clubs, step up player scouting | OneFootball

This week, CBF Women’s National Teams Coordinator Cris Gambaré and members of the Senior National Team’s technical staff were in Minas Gerais for a series of visits to clubs in the state.

In addition to bringing the national department closer to the athletes’ daily routine and the work of the coaching staff and the health and performance departments, the visits are also intended to observe training facilities and competition matches.

On Tuesday (18), while coordinator Cris Gambaré visited Toca da Raposa II and I, where Cruzeiro’s women’s team trains, the National Team’s fitness coach Marcelo Rossetti, goalkeeping coach Edson Junior, and assistant coach Rodrigo Iglesias were at Atlético Mineiro.

Strengthening the sport

At Cruzeiro, the CBF official was welcomed by club president Pedro Lourenço and the club’s women’s football manager, Luiza Parreiras. At América, which she visited on Wednesday (19), Cris spoke with Women’s Football manager Daniel de Paiva and Marketing and Business Director Bernard Romanelli.

“This connection with the clubs is very important, as they are constantly active in the sport, paving some of the paths we still have ahead of us. With the World Cup approaching, at a time when the sport is growing, this closer relationship is even more relevant,” said the national teams coordinator.

Meanwhile, in addition to visiting Cruzeiro and Itabirito, the technical staff will, between Wednesday and Friday, watch the match against Palmeiras at Arena do Jacaré, in Sete Lagoas (MG), and Atlético-MG x Flamengo at Luso-Brasileiro Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro, in the final round of the first phase of Brasileirão A1, on Saturday (22).

National and international schedule

The club visits are part of the staff’s routine and are stepped up in the period between FIFA windows. The previous week, part of the staff and health professionals from the Women’s National Team were in São Paulo to follow training sessions and matches involving Santos, São Paulo, Palmeiras, Red Bull Bragantino, and Vitória.

Next week, part of the team will travel to the United States for meetings with Boston Legacy, where Amanda Gutierres, Kaká, and Laís Araújo play. “We understand that this closeness and cooperation are important to speed up the development of the sport in the country. By visiting the clubs and observing their daily routine, we are able to exchange experiences and optimize the players’ availability for call-ups,” Marcelo Rossetti pointed out.
