Flamengo/Marinha continues its intense preparations for the semifinals of the Brazilian Women's Football Championship A-1. The match, which will be on Wednesday (26) against Corinthians, will start at 15 pm at the Gávea stadium. The competition's top scorer with 14 goals, Dany Helena is having the first season she dreamed of. Her excellent performance and key role in the games demonstrate this.

"Thank God, I'm having a blessed year. It's a great pleasure to wear the Flamengo/Marinha jersey, and it's even more rewarding to be able to help the team with goals. I can only thank the committee for the opportunity to play and the athletes for welcoming me so warmly to the team. I'm very happy with our performance so far. We were champions of the Military World Cup and are now semifinalists of the Brasileirão. I hope we can go even further," said the player.

Leaving Iranduba to join Rubro-Negro at the beginning of the year, Dany has always been an athlete who wanted to win everything. "I chose Flamengo because I knew it would be a team with a great structure and would compete for titles. I'm very competitive, and it's always good to be among the best," she explained.

This Wednesday, Mengo will host one of the competition's best teams at home, a venue they haven't lost to in the Brazilian Championship. "It will certainly be a very difficult matchup; Corinthians has a highly qualified squad and has performed very well this year. But I have a lot of faith in our squad; we've been working very hard since January to reach this point. We're very focused and will give our best on the field," assured the number 27.

Her 14 goals demonstrate Dany Helena's strength in Flamengo's attack. Despite her excellent numbers and the championship's top scorer record, the player states that she is focused on helping the Mais Querido (Flamengo's Favorite). "I'm very happy with the goals, but especially with our collective performance. It's great to play on a team where no one gives up. Our entire squad is very united, we fight for each other on the field, and that's really making a difference. God has been blessing me greatly, and I'm managing to score goals and help the team. I hope to continue scoring, but what really matters is our victory, regardless of who scores the goals," she concluded.

The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo women's soccer team relies on resources from its sponsors – Caixa and Avon – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR) and the State Incentive Law/State Secretariat of Sports, Leisure and Youth (Seelje) of Rio de Janeiro.
