as I told you before for me this is
great opportunity not only in football
but also to change the mentality
and all of the new generation
as nobody know but I can say now ads
many opportunities in Europe many clubs
in in
um
in Brazil in Australia us even in
Portugal's many Club
try to to sign in but
I give the word to this club for the
opportunity
to develop not only the football but the
older part of this amazing country and
for me it's a good challenge I know what
I want and I know of course what I don't
want as well so always a good chance to
change to help with my knowledge and my
experience
to help
to grow many many important points also
a woman that many people probably didn't
know but how much are they of a woman's
football as well and I want to give a
different vision
of the country of the football the
perspective of everybody so this is why
I took this opportunity amazing respect
[Applause]
Frankly Speaking
did Saudi performance at the World Cup
and the fact that all the players are in
sbl really helped in convincing you
doing the move and joining Saudi
football
many people speak and give you give
their opinions but they really did not
know nothing about football as you know
the football now
probably the last 10 15 years they are
different all the teams they are more
prepared all the teams they are waiting
if you see and you give the example of
World Cup
the only team that won the Champions was
Saudi Arabi don't forget that yes and
you had many surprises South Korea for
example the African teams Costa Rica for
example they did a good job it's not
easy to win any games today because the
things they are prepared the football
it's different the evolution of football
is different so for me it's not it's not
the hand of my career to come in South
Africa this is why I wanna
change and to be honest I'm really don't
worry about what the people say I took
my decisions and I and I
have responsibility to
to change it but for me it's it's some
really really happy to be here and I
know the league is very competitive the
people don't know that as well but I
know because I saw many games and um you
know what I want and I'm looking forward
it's it's the play and I hope to play
after tomorrow if the coach I think that
is a good change Chase but I'm you know
I'm ready to enjoy it to to still play
football and enjoy the people we're
really excited to see you on the pitch
as well well
one thing
we all agree on this is this is a unique
exciting but some people have criticized
your move here I know you don't care as
you just mentioned but I want your
thoughts on this
I'm a unique players so it's good to
coming here

gonna beat a few records here as well so
