Collective strength and tactical execution on the field

Camilla Orlando made a point of highlighting the unity of the group and the team’s ability to respond in a decisive moment of the tournament. The inclusion of players who did not participate in the previous match and the goal that resulted from a collective play—born from contest, focus, and training—were points emphasized by the coach.

“This shows the strength of the group and the commitment of the athletes,” she stated, underscoring the importance of the squad and the application of what is practiced in training.

Competitiveness of the hexagonal and focus on the next challenge

The coach also addressed the high level of competitiveness in the final hexagonal, mentioning the extra motivation opponents have when facing Brazil.

“You can feel the desire of the other teams to beat Brazil,” she commented, reinforcing that the prior study of Colombia proved insufficient to predict the intensity of the clash on the field.

Looking ahead, Camilla projected the next duel against Argentina, recalling the defeat in the first phase as an opportunity for redemption. The physical recovery of the athletes was pointed out as a strategic advantage to seek another three points in yet another “final.”
