Q: (What advice would you give to girls who want to follow in your footsteps?) ）
Marta Vieira da Silva :
They should never give up
Always believe in your dreams
Because if you do
They have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams
Mention women's soccer
Many people will think of a name: Marta
At the fierce World Cup in France, Marta is 34 years old
Marta isn't just setting a new World Cup record
She herself has received numerous personal honors in football and is a well-deserved queen of football
FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony in London in 2018
Brazilian star Marta won FIFA's Female Footballer of the Year for the sixth time
She is the only player, including the men's player, to win six FIFA Player of the Year honours
Marta's first world cup was at the 2003 Women's World Cup in the United States
At the time, at the age of 17, Marta scored 3 goals in one tournament, which amazed the world women's football community
Now she has completed the feat of scoring goals in five consecutive World Cups
This is an unprecedented achievement in the history of both the men's and women's World Cups
Maybe you think of Brazil
The soul of Brazil comes to mind
football
In our Asian impression
It seems like every Brazilian will play football
However, this rule is fine for Brazilian men
But in Brazilian women
As in every country in the world
Brazilian women are not mainstream players in football
Women's football is a sport belonging to the middle class
The level of competition in women's football in various countries is roughly proportional to GDP
But the truth is
Football is a "popular" sport in the world and the "niche" of women's football in football and even in the entire sports world.
A stark and lamentable contrast
It seems that all sports are preceded by the addition of the word "woman" in the cold.
In Brazil, from the past to the present, people do not think that football is a sport suitable for women
In 1941, Men in Brazil believed that femininity did not match football
Not only do they disagree with women's participation, they even see Brazilian women playing on the pitch as illegal
It was not until 1979 that the law was repealed
But its conceptual impact is deep-rooted
It is honorable for men to play football, and it is defined as sin for women to play football
And Marta grew up in such a difficult environment for Brazilian women
Marta, a 14-year-old who plays wildball
In an interview with the São Paulo page, Marta was asked if she was prejudiced to participate in this "men's sport" as a child, and she replied:
"Yes, there are many encounters
I'm from Dois-Riazos, a small town in the inland state of Alagoas
That's when a girl was seen playing football with a large group of boys
It's always hard to have a kind eye, even my family. ”
Same as going to war
Girls on the pitch are destined to pay more than men
Their stories are more hard and inspirational than men's, and many times more poignant
This is also why when a friend advises me to write more about the hot male stars rubbing traffic
I want to write about women's football more
The attention received by women's football players is not directly proportional to their achievements
Fortunately, I don't rely on the public account to earn money to support my family
You don't need to rub hot spots for traffic, you can write whatever you want
The strongest person in women's football today, Marta
When I was a child, I played wild football alone in my hometown, and I also suffered from the strange eyes of the people around me
It wasn't until the 2002 Canadian Women's World Youth Championship that the 16-year-old Marta scored six goals and was named the top scorer
Marta is a genius on the pitch
She also successfully qualified for the Brazilian national team and accompanied the team to the Women's World Cup the following year
However, God gave Brazil the best female players, but always let the champion slip away from the feet of the Samba Army
Marta led the team to the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the 2007 Women's World Cup, and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games
They all returned with hatred and lost, and passed by the champions
Dazzling array of breakthroughs, dribbling, shooting and other techniques
Samba's team's matches are always pleasing to the eye
How I look forward to them winning the championship
Marta, who missed the championship, cried after the game
Helpless and sad
Some people may not understand that the Brazilian women's football team missed the championship, as for every time crying so exaggerated
Brazil is a soccer kingdom though
However, the women's football league only started in 2007 and was not officially established until 2013
So far
There are only 15 professional women's football clubs in Brazil and more than 150 men's football clubs
The general attention of women's football matches is also not high, and the funding is insufficient
Therefore, the Brazilian women's football league is still in the amateur stage
Most women's soccer players can't make a living on soccer alone
For women who love football, football is unreliable, which sounds a little sad
On weekdays, it is common for women's football players not to play
Because of this, they can only pin their hopes on the Olympic Games and the Women's World Cup
This is one of the few opportunities for them to receive attention
To put it more brutally
It is also one of the few opportunities for them to receive bonuses other than a meager salary
Lose the championship
This means that the next women's football team may not be able to stick to it because of the burden of life
Marta came from a slum and her meager salary wasn't enough to make a living from football
In order to get more opportunities to play football, in order to prove themselves, in order to let the Brazilian women's football team win a glimmer of life
In 2004
She joined FC Umeå in Sweden
She became the first Brazilian woman to play professional football in Europe
Get out of Brazil's Marta and become stronger
In 2004, she helped the team win the UEFA Women's League Cup and finished second in the league
She scored a total of 22 goals in all competitions
She has been honoured as the league's top scorer for three consecutive years
Lifted the championship trophy for the team for two consecutive years
It is precisely because women's innate physiological structure is not strong enough compared to men's
It is precisely because women's competitive space is very narrow
They have to put in more effort than men
It is more persistent and absolutely pure than the men's players
Some might say
Women are more hard-working and more sacrificial
But empathize
They bravely played despite discrimination and ridicule
They receive meager salaries and face helpless confusion that is not recognized by their profession but want to persevere
All because
They really love football
Marta's five-foot-four-inch height and her physique were weak, but Marta herself never fought physically
Marta, who grew up in a discriminatory women's football environment in Brazil
Women who have always disagreed must be weaker than men
She's not like women, and she's always aiming for better men's soccer
She had to fight like a male player, even faster and fiercer than them
In the World Cup, although the Samba Legion did not win the championship, Marta was always the focus of attention
In 2007, Marta scored twice in the semifinals to help Brazil "bloodbath" the United States 4-0
That game was in the 78th minute
Marta picks up a pass from her teammate and flicks it on the heel of her left foot to easily pass the defender
Another false shot shook the defender down, then a low shot broke through the net
When the game was close to eighty minutes
Marta's two performances on the left to pay tribute to Zidane and Bergkamp amazed the crowd
Her Marseilles swung her picks, her fake moves, her swinging backs to kick the goal
American player O'Reilly, who experienced that game, admitted that the team was completely "destroyed" by Marta:
I have to admit that we see a flash of genius
Before her, no one had such a huge amount of energy
The US media commented:
Before Marta, top female footballers only needed one specialty
Things like speed, technique, big picture, or game inspiration
But starting with Marta, the criteria for top stars have become a combination of the above advantages
Marta took women's football to another level
Her combination of athleticism and technical and spirituality
It became the goal that the players tried to achieve later
She showed the pinnacle of women's football
Marta was the first ever female player to leave her mark in the Maracanã Stadium Hall of Fame
She is a typical Brazilian player
Her dribbling is comparable to superstars such as Bailey, Da Luo and Xiao Luo
She also received the same respect from the Brazilian people as they did
In 2006, when Marta first became Miss World Football
Neither Messi nor Ronaldo have yet to win the top individual honors in this football world
More than a decade later, Merrow is no longer the only two candidates for this honor
Marta still stands the test of the Ballon d'Or
She's still here
Of course, Marta's influence is not the same as that of merlot
But if Merlot represents an era
Namata alone represents an era
The history of women's football can be basically divided into
Pre-Marta era, Marta era, post-Marta era
In the men's world
He has played more than 100 games for the national team, which is a record that makes people look up to the mountain
Buffon, who is over 40 years old, holds a record of 171 games, and he was stunned
World-class female footballers, on the other hand, are generally wearing national team jerseys at the age of fifteen or sixteen
In the women's world, 100 games for the country is a rare and unspeakable number
The 2019 Fifacious World Cup in France, the U.S. women's soccer team played an average of 81 games
The 36-year-old Lloyd played 275 games and scored 113 goals
The 31-year-old has played 152 games
The 33-year-old Rapinoe played 153 games
The 30-year-old O'Hara played 116 games
Morgan, 29, has played 163 games and scored 106 goals
This is also the difference between the careers of women's and men's football
Women's football players became famous early and retired late, which is a lonely and long but tenacious history of struggle
When the curtain opened on the women's World Cup stage
Everyone will expect Marta to appear
She was on the pitch again
Once again, she refreshed history
Standing on the penalty spot under intense pressure, she calmly pushed the ball into the dead corner of the goal
It was this only goal of the game that helped Brazil beat Italy 1-0
In this regard, the number of places in the group was locked
This goal is not only significant for the Brazilian women's football team
It was even more of a milestone for Marta herself
With this goal, Marta raised her world cup total to 17
Legendary German men's football striker Klose, who surpassed 16 goals
Became the historical top scorer of the men's and women's World Cup
After the goal, Marta and her teammates made their famous celebrations
The action is modeled after the 1994 World Cup Bebeto made a cradle action with Roma Leo after scoring a goal
Marta also kissed her feet happily
That only makes her the foot of the best goalscoring scorer in World Cup history
Through the photos, we can already feel how excited Marta is
As you see the male athletes after they score goals, she is completely immersed in excitement and joy
I went through domestic reports on this
Sadly, most of the comments were extremely sarcastic to Marta
9012
Most men in my heavenly kingdom still think that women don't deserve to show themselves in the sport of football
Even though she has gone to great lengths to prove herself and earn the respect of all Brazilian men
Maybe acknowledge the excellence of others
It's not easy
I was never a feminist
In my opinion, men and women have their own strengths and weaknesses because of their innate differences
Acknowledging objective differences is a rational and healthy idea
But I never felt that there was any difference between men and women in terms of hard work and hard work
Most people in this world, including myself, may also include you who read this article
They are just ordinary people who do not have the aura of genius
Just like me, I know to work as hard as Marta
She can't be a football player like her
Just like most men, even if they work as hard as Ronaldo and Messi
Nor can it be any of Merello's
But I still love football
Or a water lover who will squeal
Even if it's being a water dispenser manager
Aren't you too
Not only women, but also men, not everyone is Pele on the pitch
However, as long as you like football and work hard to play good football
At least I won't mock you, laugh at you, and I'm not qualified to say you can't
As a girl, I have too much of a say
It's not that they don't want to try, but as long as the girl expresses her willingness to try
She would be looked at differently
How clumsy it is to be ridiculed, to be ridiculed all the time
I admit that most girls are not as brave as Marta
It's easy for them to leave silently amid the laughter and blows of others
And in my opinion, respect the interests and hobbies of others
No cynicism, no suppression
Isn't that the most basic courtesy?
If one day, your daughter says to you
I want to be Marta and I want to play football too
Hope you can give her a chance
You can take her to a professional school
Or, you can teach her yourself, even if it's like playing a game
Warm up with her and play with her
Instead of saying:
Oh no, that's not a game for girls
If one day, most fathers can do this to their daughters who like football
I think, Lily, Segi, Sun Wen, Lloyd, Helberg...
Like these talented women's soccer players, there will be more
That's right
The black-red lipstick marta marta she puts on the field is Avon's new PowerStay collection
The color number is "Roxeando"
You see, there are women on the pitch
Football is only going to get more fun
“
All right
I admit that the goal of the game is to win.
But I think
Try to improve and develop women's soccer sports with other athletes
Leave a better women's world for the next generation of girls playing football
More important
”
At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on June 24
Women's World Cup 1/8 final
France women's team against Brazil women's team
Before the start of the game
Marta carried an acoustic guitar in her arms and walked to the front of the team
She caressed the guitar and sang
The eyes were gentle like the blue sky above the Le Havre Marine Stadium
As if what was next was not an uphill battle
It's just a leisure time to play against friends on the weekend
The audience started waiting early
Marta, who finished singing with her teammates, also changed into her jersey and prepared to play
Marta in the number 10 jersey
It becomes the sharp knife we are most familiar with
There was no tenderness in her eyes
Only the desire for victory remains
In the 9th minute, Marta's long-range shot was deflected wide after clipping two defenders
In the 96th minute, Christianne was replaced after an injury in the centre circle
Christianne left the field injured
It was destined to be a sad night
From 2003 to 2019
Christianne and Marta
Numbers 11 and 10
The two of them fought side by side for 16 years
One is the first scorer in the history of Olympic women's football
One is the first scorer in the history of the Women's World Cup
And today
Christianne, 34, left the battlefield before Marta, 33
The match ended with France's 2-1 elimination of the Brazilian women's team to advance to the quarterfinals
This time, the Goddess of Victory still did not favor this samba legion
Marta, who lasted until the last second, ran 12.87 kilometers throughout the game
With two shots on goal, she still failed to lead the Brazilian women's football team to the quarterfinals
After the game, Marta fell on the turf and cried
There was too much reluctance in her heart
Marta knows that the Brazilian women's football team is an aging team
Teammate Formiga, 41, should also be playing in the World Cup for the last time
And when Brazil's rising stars haven't shined yet
The burden on Marta's shoulders still could not be lowered
You have to have more desires
More training
Take care of yourself
There won't always be fordigas here
There won't always be Marta
There won't always be Christian
The women's football game depends on you
It is up to you to continue to survive
So think about it
To play more of your value
Even though at first you cried
But you can have the last laugh
: After the game, the tears did not dry, and Marta, with a crying voice, clenched her fists and shouted these words to the camera
We've already seen Marta's tears
The great women's footballer has been unable to fulfill his wish to help Brazil's women's team win the title
Yet this time marta
Her crying was more like a vow never to accept defeat
She said she would continue to play
She's going to compete in the Olympics again
Win or lose, Marta always makes people see her kingly temperament
Even if the game is lost
She is still cheering for more young girls
She's more than just an athlete
In the world of women's football
Such a Marta is a tragic warrior
He is also a "leader" with the world in mind
July 12, 2018
UN Women appoints renowned Brazilian women's footballer Marta Vieira da Silva
Goodwill Ambassadors for Women and Girls in Sport
She will support UN Women's work globally
Inspire women and girls to break down stereotypes
Overcome all difficulties
Strive to pursue your dreams in various fields, including sports
Achieve your ambitions
As a master of goodwill, Marta never forgot her mission
In the group stage of this year's Fifa Women's World Cup in France
Marta after scoring against Australia and after scoring the winning goal against Italy
She lifted her right foot with both hands so that the audience at the scene and in front of the TV could see the black sneakers she was wearing
And kissed it passionately
Maybe you'll think that this kind of action seems to be a bit too much
But it's that unique way of celebrating
Let the rose and blue logo of the black sneakers printed with the "Go Equal" movement be seen by more people
Soon after its inception, this project that joined the fight for equality between men and women in sports can also be paid more attention to
At the Women's World Cup in France, 14 players in the Brazilian women's football team had sneaker sponsors
But Marta didn't
Marta's original sneaker sponsor was Puma
However, due to puma's advertising endorsement fees for male and female athletes, there is obvious gender discrimination between men and women
In July 2018, Marta declined to renew her contract with Puma
She tied a pair of blackened sneakers
Just to show support for the recently established "Go Equal" project
We can use this platform to provide more equal support for women's empowerment
It's not news, it's just business as usual
But we're trying to represent and showcase the role of female athletes
The World Cup can be seen by many people
It's not just South America, it's not just Brazil
It represents all the teams
There are many other women off the field who play different roles in society
I make it clear
It's not just in sports
Rather, it is a struggle for full equality
: In the matter of showing sneakers, Marta's answer was loud
From the extremely impoverished Alagoas to Marta, the heart of world football
He didn't indulge in his own personal success
She never stopped fighting
In Brazil, in South America, all over the world
She doesn't just want to be a good athlete
She prefers to be able when she is capable
It is possible to single-handedly promote the development of women's football in Brazil and even in the world's female athletes to strive for equality
How do we describe greatness?
In the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, Yi Luo Bao Bao Fa Many Kingdoms", the word "great" represents a very lofty excellence
And Marta in the women's football world is enough to crown the word "great"
And it's not just because of her personal abilities that have so far been difficult to surpass in the history of women's football
More because of her physical practice
Make girls who like to play football no longer "freaks"
Motivate more and more girls to pursue football-related dreams
As Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women
That said
Marta is an extraordinary role model for women and girls around the world
Her personal experience illustrates
Just have the determination, talent and tenacity
You can make your dreams come true
Sport transcends borders and inspires and unites us across limits
Once upon a time, Marta had the determination and conviction
Propelled her from the extremely impoverished Alagoas to the centre of world football
It is this unstoppable determination and conviction
Bring the life-changing power of sport to more women and girls
The development of the gender equality movement is being promoted
Over the years, when people introduced Marta
Always add a sentence
"Bailey in a skirt"
It just so happens that Pele was the first athlete to show off his shoes at the World Cup
It's just that Pele, the king of the ball, fulfills the job obligation of collecting money for advertising
Marta, on the other hand, is free to preach for a just and noble cause
Bailey's success is also unquestionable
But marta today
Bailey is no longer a skirt
Marta has Pele's technique, Romario's shooting, and Ronaldinho's dribbling
Unique in the women's world
Marta is not Bailey in a skirt
Marta is Marta
He is the strongest man in the history of women's football
He is also the crying nose king on the national team
It is a cruel killer who is ruthless on the green field
He is also a goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations with integrity and kindness
He is a bold and tough hero
It is a Brazilian girl wearing lipstick and singing to herself
5 Times World Cup, 6 FIFA Miss Soccer
Marta, 33, is nowhere near as brave as she was a few years ago
He also announced his temporary retirement through his social media account in February this year
But we still saw her at the Fidelity Women's World Cup in France in June
Search the web for keywords for "Marta"
There will always be a keyword of "retirement" that follows
In fact, a reporter interviewed Marta once
What will you want to do in the future after hanging up your boots
Marta replied:
Will do her best to help women's soccer achieve its maximum potential
Maybe become an ambassador for FIFA
Or maybe back to when they were playing football
Doyce-Riazos's somewhat dirty side of the pitch
Be a coach who teaches girls to play football
However in my opinion
The Marta, who made her world debut at the age of 16
If not to the day when the kick can't be moved
She wouldn't give up playing
Marta loves the sport of football
She fights for herself
Also for the country, teammates, fans
And an old friend, Christie Anne
Brazil and France are an absolute bitter battle
The players did their best
The French players after the game also stepped forward to hug the sad Brazilian players
Because France knows that they played a real football match tonight
The Brazilian women's soccer team, which fought hard to the end, is a respectable opponent
The Brazilian women's soccer team, which lost the match, bowed to the fans who supported them on the World Cup
I think the supporters of the Samba Legion will be proud of their performance to the end
Jomata and her teammates are really on the Olympics again
that
I hope that marta will be there, and the sad Brazilian women's football team
Get what you want
END
I hope every woman is brave enough to show herself on the pitch
Shine
