Women's team visits Minas clubs, steps up player scouting

This week, CBF Women’s National Teams coordinator Cris Gambaré and members of the senior national team coaching staff were in Minas Gerais for a series of visits to clubs in the state.

In addition to bringing the national department closer to the players’ day-to-day routine and the work of the coaching staff and the health and performance departments, the visits are also aimed at observing training facilities and competition matches.

On Tuesday (18), while coordinator Cris Gambaré visited Toca da Raposa II and I, where Cruzeiro’s women’s team trains, national team fitness coach Marcelo Rosseti, goalkeeping coach Edson Junior, and assistant coach Rodrigo Iglesias were at Atlético Mineiro.

At Cruzeiro, the CBF official was welcomed by club president Pedro Lourenço and the club’s women’s football manager, Luiza Parreiras. At América, which she visited on Wednesday (19), Cris spoke with Women’s Football manager Daniel de Paiva and Marketing and Business Director Bernard Romanelli.

“This connection with the clubs is very important, as they are constantly active in the sport and blazing some of the trails we still have to follow. With the World Cup approaching, at a time when the sport is growing, this closer relationship becomes even more relevant,” said the national teams coordinator.

Meanwhile, in addition to visiting Cruzeiro, the coaching staff will, on Wednesday and Thursday, watch the match against Palmeiras at Arena do Jacaré in Sete Lagoas (MG), and Atlético-MG vs. Flamengo at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro, in the final round of the Brasileirão A1 first stage, on Saturday (22).

The club visits are part of the staff’s routine and are intensified in the period between FIFA windows. In the previous week, part of the staff and health professionals from the Women’s National Team were in São Paulo to follow training sessions and matches involving Santos, São Paulo, Palmeiras, Red Bull Bragantino, and Vitória.

Next week, part of the team will travel to the United States for a visit with Boston Legacy, where Amanda Gutierres, Kaká, and Laís Araújo play. “We understand that this closeness and cooperation are important to speed up the development of the sport in the country. By visiting the clubs and observing their routine, we are able to exchange experiences and optimize the players’ availability for call-ups,” Marcelo Rosseti noted.
