One of Flamengo's brightest prospects in women's soccer, Kaylane Vieira recently experienced an unforgettable moment. The attacking midfielder participated in the final part of the Brazilian national team's preparations for the Copa América at Granja Comary and made the most of every second of the opportunity.


Back at Mais Querido while the team led by Arthur Elias goes to the second game of the competition in Ecuador - the first was last Sunday (13), against Venezuela -, the young woman does not hide her happiness for having trained with athletes who are representing Amarelinha.

"It was a unique and extraordinary experience to train with great stars of our football. They welcomed me warmly and included me in everything. When I got there, I was in disbelief; it hadn't sunk in yet, so it was special. It was truly unlike anything else. I'm returning with several lessons that I'll take with me throughout my career," she said, feeling very motivated.

When she met Marta, Kaylane became nervous. She trembled, had no reaction, and couldn't even speak. The Queen welcomed her, made the Girl from Gávea feel at home, focused solely on showcasing her talent, and offered advice. These words will undoubtedly remain etched in the minds of those who have countless dreams within the sport and know the long road ahead.


"I was paralyzed when I saw Marta, I actually trembled. She's a sweetheart, she was extremely kind, and she treated me in a way I can't even explain. I'll never forget that. She also gave me several pointers, helped me with some movements, and showed me where I can improve on and off the field. Of course I'll follow everything, right? It couldn't be any different," she emphasized.



Identified with Mengão, the athlete declared her support for the club, recognized its importance throughout the process and made it clear that she wants to win other titles. 

"Flamengo opened the doors to everything, and I'm very grateful. This opportunity I've had now with the national team is due to the way the club believes in me and gives me the best. I've already experienced a lot of great things with Manto, and I'm back wanting more. We have important games ahead, and my goal is to be Brazilian champion again. It's one step at a time, but there will be plenty of work," she concluded.

With Kaylane related, Rubro-Negro faces Mixto-MT next Thursday (17), away from home, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão Feminino Sub-20. At the top of the group, the team needs a simple victory to guarantee a place in the next phase of the tournament.
