Coach Camilla Orlando celebrated the maturity and competitiveness of the Brazilian Women’s Under-20 National Team after their 1-0 victory over Colombia, in a match valid for the final phase of the South American Championship.
Amidst heavy rain, the team showed resilience and achieved a result that the coach described as one of the most remarkable games of her career. The match was classified as a “very aggressive and hard-fought classic,” where the Brazilian strategy was well executed despite adverse weather conditions.
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.
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.”
