Isabela’s first words at PSG | OneFootball

Isabela Ferreira Costa Das Chagas, 24 years old, a Brazilian full-back from Cruzeiro, has signed with Paris Saint-Germain. On the club's official website, she shares her emotions, her journey between Inter, Corinthians, and Cruzeiro, and her great ambitions: to win trophies with PSG.

Isabela "My life is crazy"

I am very happy. It's a dream come true. My life is crazy. Everything changed from one moment to the next. Just yesterday, I was in Brazil and now, I'm here. I don't know what to say, I can only thank God. I believe I've come a long way in my career. I've played for Inter, Corinthians, and Cruzeiro.

Isabela "It could only be PSG"

The next step had to be joining a team in Europe, and it could only be PSG. When I was younger, at the school where I played, you had to have a nickname. I played with my brother, who had the nickname Chagas, his last name. I had to invent one for myself. They called me Belinha.

But back then, I was very small. A woman of my height today can't be called Belinha. I think the style of play at Cruzeiro, its tactical understanding, will help me a lot here. I admit I'm apprehensive about arriving in an unknown place, leaving everything behind.

Isabela "It's scary, but it's a positive fear in a way"

I only received one phone call from them: "pack your bags and come." It's scary, but it's a positive fear in a way. I'm already delighted with the little I've seen here and I hope to be very happy. I would say that all athletes dream of winning trophies. So I hope to win the French Cup and, God willing, the Champions League. I can't wait to meet the Paris Saint-Germain supporters. Here, it's Paris!
