On July 21, China's women's soccer team will face Brazil in the first match of the Olympic Games. In Xianghe base, our women's soccer team held a grand departure ceremony on the afternoon of the 10th, and announced the 22-player Olympic participation list. Among them, the name of the young player Umu Guzhila appeared in the list, which made people quite surprised. Before the start of training, the striker from Inner Mongolia received an exclusive interview with reporters.
Umugujira revealed that even though she has been training with the team, she didn't know until today that she had been selected for the roster and would be traveling with the team to Tokyo. "The roster was changed until the last minute, so I always stayed highly focused and worked hard, hoping to seize this opportunity to realize the Olympic dream I've had since I was a child."
Ebony said she used to joke with her family as a child about scoring for the national team at the Olympics. "Now that the opportunity has come, I will give it my all and show myself in the game. At the same time, I am proud of myself and I feel that my previous efforts have not been in vain."
"Everyone has a desire in their heart to play for their country and so do I." Umugurira said, "Although this is my first time to participate in the Olympics, I'm not nervous, I hope I can keep my confidence and I won't be afraid no matter what kind of opponents I face. In fact, our Changchun team also has high-level foreign aiders on the front line, and I have never given up on competing with them. I believe that as long as I give my best, the opportunity will always be left to those who are prepared."
Our women's soccer team will face Brazilian women's soccer team in the first match, and Ebony's teammate in the club, Raphael, has also been selected to the Brazilian national team. Talking about it, Ebony said, "I have played with her for 3 or 4 years and I know her defensive characteristics very well, I will share my understanding with my teammates."
