Mariza reviews Mexican league and looks ahead to Brazil’s next friendly | OneFootball

Defender Mariza is a regular presence in coach Arthur Elias’s call-ups. She currently plays for Tigres, in Mexico. Already adapted to the country, she shared that Mexicans are huge fans of women’s football and that she expects a great turnout from the public for Saturday’s friendly (7th), at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, in Mexico City, against the hosts.

“I know that the Mexican fans are always present at all the games during the League. It’s a country that embraces women’s football and promotes it very well. I’m sure it will be a great spectacle. I hope the stadium is full and that we can put on a beautiful match,” she said.

Mariza also analyzed the Mexican League and commented on how the competition is viewed in Brazil. For her, the tournament is becoming stronger and more balanced every year.

“Within Brazil, the Mexican League isn’t very well known; people don’t follow it much due to broadcast difficulties in the country and also because of the time difference. But those who know it are aware that it’s a strong competition, with good investment, and the structure for all the games and clubs is very good. It’s a balanced league that has been growing a lot,” she stated.

Regarding the qualities of the Mexican players, the defender highlighted that they are special and very talented athletes. About Saturday’s match against Mexico, Mariza believes it will be a very competitive game, but that the Brazilian National Team will do its best to come out with the win.

“The Mexican League has been growing a lot, there are many good players, not just in the League, but in the Mexican national team as well. We know it’s a very qualified team and we need to impose our game. It will be a tough challenge, but we also know our qualities and what we can do best to get a positive result,” she concluded.
