This Saturday, 27, Corinthians returned to the field for the Women's Paulista Championship. In a match valid for the tenth round of the first phase of the competition, the Brabas visited Taubaté playing in their city, at the Joaquim de Morais Filho Stadium, and in a good performance won by 3 x 0, with goals from Juliete, Ivana Fuso and Ariel Godoi.

After the match, forward Ivana Fuso spoke with SporTV, detailing a bit of her adaptation to Brazil: "It was a very different change. I was in England, it's very cold there and here it's very hot. But the reception from the girls (was good), they call me gringa. I am indeed a gringa (laughs). Sometimes, when I get nervous, my accent is very (exposed). I also lack words."

She also expressed satisfaction with the alvinegra victory, in which Ivana participated in all the goals. "But I am very happy for the victory, for me it is much more important than the goal. But I am also very happy for the goal, for my two assists", she said.

Finally, Ivana projected the team's next games and how she can contribute: "Now it's very important, because we're going to the Libertadores. I'm feeling stronger and stronger, I was off the field for a long time... I still have to work more, but for me it's step by step"

In the coming days, the Brabas will travel to Argentina to compete in the Copa Libertadores, a tournament in which they will fight for the South American hexachampionship. The first match in the competition takes place next Thursday, October 2, against Dragonas Independiente del Valle, from Ecuador, at the Florencio Sola Stadium, in Banfield, at 4pm (Brasília time).
