Adriana: ‘Our first game against Super Falcons will be decisive’

Brazil striker, Adriana believes their Paris 2024 Olympics opening group game against the Super Falcons of Nigeria will be decisive and can define how far the team goes in their hunt for the gold medal.

Adriana plays for Orlando Pride and who has been described as strong in movement and speed is confident of the team’s success at the Games.

For Adriana, the competition will be defined “in the details” starting with their opening Group C game.

“Detail of a set piece, for example, both in front to score a goal and in defense to prevent the opponent’s goal. That’s why we must pay all possible attention not only in the games, but also in the day-to-day training”, warns the striker.

Adriana however foresees a very difficult match against Nigeria but remains optimistic.

“This first game is decisive. In fact, it’s always going to be that way. In any case, we have to have a lot of concentration, with a lot of focus, in this debut. And take it step by step.”
