Érika wants to stay at Corinthians, eyes Club World Cup dream | OneFootball

Corinthians takes the field on the night of this Wednesday, the 15th, to face Ferroviária in the semifinals of the Women's Libertadores. One of the starting defenders is expected to be Érika, who does not have a guaranteed stay for next year but dreams of staying at the club and competing in the world championship.

“Man, I am a Corinthians fan, my dad is a huge Corinthians fan, I've had this dream since I was little. And I achieved it, and realized it, today I'm playing for Corinthians. I would like to stay, obviously, if it doesn't work out, we understand, if it does, amen. And I think I'm doing my best every day, if I have to provide more for Corinthians, it's in this way, little by little,” the player commented in an interview with Meninas do Timão.

“It's about understanding my process, and maybe those here have already understood all of this. But it's about waiting, I have no idea what might happen, but here's a hint, I'm available for anything, right, we can talk, Iris, President, Piccinato. But I would like to, because, you know, I'm close to home, my whole family is there, I'm a Corinthians fan so there's nothing more to say, right. Do you think I'm going to make a little suspense? No, I'm a Corinthians fan, I like it here, it's my life, it's my family, everyone is here. So, if there's a chance, I'm in, I'm here,” she added.

If they win the Libertadores, which would be Corinthians' sixth championship, the club earns a spot in the Copa das Campeãs, a global tournament created by FIFA this year. The competition is expected to take place between the end of January and the beginning of February next year.

“Honestly, the team itself I don't know, but I personally know that we have two big games ahead, the first one now, if we don't win, we won't go to the final and if we don't win the final, we won't have the World Cup. So I think about that, from the beginning I know it's step by step and you have to think that way, one at a time, but I'm already thinking big, man, I don't know if I'll be here or not, but taking Corinthians to the World Cup will be sensational”, emphasized Érika.

As mentioned, the classic against Ferroviária takes place this Wednesday. The match kicks off at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estadio Florencio Sola, in Banfield, Argentina. The winner advances to the final.
