This Wednesday (4), the Brazilian National Team suffered a 2-1 defeat to Venezuela in a friendly match held in Toluca, Mexico. After the setback, defender Tarciane analyzed the match.

“They came in with determination and managed to score two goals. If I’m not mistaken, in the first half, we only had one shot on goal. That’s not Brazil. That’s not how we play. We always bring intensity to the game and today wasn’t a good day, we know that,” she said.

“We pushed ourselves to come back better after the interruption, but we need to be better and more focused. Individually, each of us will push ourselves a bit more so we can give our best for the Brazilian National Team,” she added.

Due to lightning strikes near the stadium, the game was interrupted halfway through the second half and was halted for about 40 minutes. Brazil was losing 2-0 and, after the break, Jaque found the net, changing the final score to 2-1.

Tarciane also emphasized that it is necessary to honor the Amarelinha (the Yellow Jersey) and that all the athletes know how important it is to give their best.

“When you put on the National Team jersey, any defeat, not just because it’s against Venezuela, any defeat weighs heavily. We come here and want to honor this jersey. There are two more days until the match against Mexico, for us to improve and play a good game,” she stated.
