When I was a footballer, I surrounded myself with footballers. We were all friends. But in Brasilia you don't know who your friends are. It can be a dangerous place.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, I'm lucky to have a lot of close friends - through football or through my family.
This was an important part of my life. But it was also sad that we didn't play there, cause we had such alot of fans that were waiting for us and Brazilians are great people. It's now my second home.
I have friends who play for Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
Brazil eats, sleeps and drinks football. It lives football!
I defend the Brazilian people.
At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.
I come from a family where soccer has always been very present. My uncles, my father and my brother were all players.
Some boys accepted me, some didn't. And my family had comments made to them. Brazil is still a very macho society, and sports are mainly for boys, so people would say to them: 'What is this girl doing? Why is she always out there in the soccer games with the boys?'
Brazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it.
In football, I don't have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many... Most of the time, I'm alone.
