Paulinha reaches milestone at Corinthians: "Such an incredible feeling" | OneFootball

On the afternoon of last Thursday, the 21st, Corinthians took the field to face Realidade Jovem in the Paulista Women's Championship and won 3-0. With a mixed team, due to the upcoming Brasileirão final next Sunday, Paulinha started, was captain, and reached a historic milestone wearing the Timão shirt.

“It's a huge emotion (to reach 250 games for Corinthians), I am really very happy. The emotion is enormous, but I know my work, I know how hard everyone's work is every day to achieve this. I am very proud of the girls, I think that without them I wouldn't be here”, commented the right-back.

“I have all the strength they give me every day, in training, anyway. I'm not that young anymore, I'm a little experienced, but I think I want to achieve this for sure in women's football, for the club's history. I am very proud of myself and this wonderful team”, she added.

Paulinha is a rare case at the club. She was with Timão before the team was deactivated in 2009, and returned after the women's team was rebuilt, when there was still a partnership with Osasco Audax. Since then, she was loaned to Foz Cataratas and had a stint at Braga-POR, but Corinthians has been her most frequent club.

She is only the second player in the club's history to reach 250 games, behind the legend Grazi, who played 258 matches for the People’s Team before retiring. In other words, there is a chance that Paulinha could become the player with the most appearances in the history of Corinthians women's football still this season.
