Chen a footballer returns from European football to the Liga MX Femenil, there are those who classify the signing as a setback in his career. Silvana Flores had never played in the country, but left England to start a new adventure and landed on the right foot in Striped. The albiazul midfielder spoke with ONCE and praised the Aztec country. “Mexicans must believe more in Mexico and value what is here”, shot. She arrived excited.
The 20-year-old selected recounted the importance of signing for the royals, playing for the first time in the country she represents after her tour of Europe. She participated in the lower Arsenal, Chelsea, Reading and went to Tottenham before arriving in Nuevo León. With so much travel at the top, did he regress in his career?

“I feel that Mexicans should think more about Mexico. They always put other countries above us and I don’t know why. Mexico has a beautiful culture, it has fans, it has everything and they are always comparing with other countries, continents, I really don’t like to compare. Each place will be different, each person has their tastes, they must believe more in Mexico, value what is here“, said.
Silvana was born in Ontario, Canada, but is Mexican because of her father Rubén Flores, who played for Atlante and instilled in her a love of soccer. The albiazul soccer player decided to stay with the Mexican nationality and defend El Tri.
“I have my family here, I feel that when you play for the National Team you have to do it for that country, it is not playing for any club or that you can change teams, you are playing for Mexico and you must feel the love for that country. Since I was little, including my mom, we always supported El Tri in World Cups, Olympic Games, we always saw them on TV. As children we have photos singing the national anthem, t-shirts, growing up with my dad and uncle, they were the ones who taught me soccer. My mom loves Mexican and Latin culture, that’s where it starts. When I came here for the first time to concentration with the National Team, I fell in love”commented.
Did Marcelo and Tatiana influence your decision to come to Rayadas?
“That’s another thing they always ask us. We don’t talk about things like that at home, we do talk about football, but rather outside. The games we watch or if we make a mess in training, rather something like that, not so much about big decisions. Everyone makes their own decisions and we have our parents who support us and our agency that gives us a lot of support, but we have different interests. We are brothers first and footballers second”.
How are your first weeks in Monterrey going?
“I feel very happy, they have treated me super well, I get along very well with my teammates. The fans received me well, the coaches, I love the city. I was saying that the landscape, the mountains, are beautiful, I’m always taking photos, all the time. (The heat) yes I’m sorry, but I like it. After six years in England where there is no sun or heat.
The adaptation of a player is important and, although it seemed that Silvie, as her friends and colleagues from Rayadas tell her, would cost her a little more than normal, the reality is that she adapted well and made it clear that she has high expectations in his performance, because each training session is full and he hopes to transfer it to the field.
“I feel that I am at a good level, improving in each training session, getting to know the other players more and more. I’m enjoying it, really. I love that we train super early, we finish around 12:00 and something, I have all day to go out, get to know and I can start my day in the best way. I love practices, I’m very happy with what I’m seeing, I hope I can take what I’m doing right now in preseason to the field “commented.
How is your day to day in Monterrey?
“At the moment I have been very busy, I have had a lot to do, I am trying to get into school here, doing things there. I want to study nutrition, then sports nutrition, paperwork, photos. When I can I go out with the other players. I’ve been here for two weeks and I’ve already been to two carne asadas. They are teaching me well.”
What is the hardest?
“The truth is I had a great time. The hardest thing, I think, is getting up in the morning. They always ask me that topic, if I like mornings and I say no, but I don’t like nights either, I’m the girl who goes to sleep around 9:00 p.m. and wakes up around 9:30 a.m. ” .
Silvana already debuted with Rayadas, she started at the beginning and with the return of the selected ones, she had to start from the bench against Puebla and play a few minutes at the end. He picks up the pace, he serves Eva Espejo and his attitude and disposition are noticeable from miles away. Experience, youth and a lot of football.
