The coach said she was impressed by the longevity of athletes like Gabi Zanotti: “It’s incredible to see players performing at a high level at 40 years old.

Regarding the tactical challenge, the manager revealed that the squad shares experiences from national teams to nullify the Brazilian style. “We are prepared for their physical intensity and speed. We enter this match with great humility, as we will face champions who will give absolutely everything on the field,” explained the Gunners’ coach.

Slegers concluded by celebrating the global impact of the tournament: “Football is for everyone and we are breaking norms to get where we want to be.” With the expectation of a record crowd at Emirates Stadium, the final promises to unite different cultures in a high-level technical spectacle, closing the club world calendar on a high note.
