– We reached the quarter-finals and we have a good chance of advancing. For me, what matters is the journey, it has to be worth it, spending so many days together. Tomorrow (Friday), I really hope we have a good team and play a good game, because we work hard for that, to try to put our energy on the field, have good tactics and score goals – said Pia in Thursday press conference.

The coach of Brazil did not talk about the squad for the quarterfinals, but the tendency is to keep the team from the first two games, against China and the Netherlands. Pia dodged when asked about the controversy involving goalkeeper Barbara, who slammed her mouth on social media with a Brazilian Paralympic athlete after being criticized for her performance.

Canada and Brazil have a recent history of many clashes. On the Canadian side, the best memory is the 2-1 victory in the bronze medal dispute at the Rio-2016 Games. In the last two years, however, the Brazilian team led by Pia Sundhage has faced the opponent four times this Friday, with two wins and two draws – the most recent a month and a half ago, a 0-0 in the last friendly before the Olympics. With two bronzes in a row (London-2012 and Rio-2016), Canada is trying to reach the Olympic semifinal for the third time in a row.
