Magic end for Marta or stunning start for Hayes? Olympics delivers perfect final
Briefly

It's wanting more. It's training more. It's taking care of yourself more. It's being ready to play 90 plus 30 minutes. This is what I ask of the girls...The women's game depends on you to survive. Value it more. Cry in the beginning so you can smile in the end.
In June 2019 Marta, Brazil's captain...launched into an impassioned speech to her country's next generation, drawing worldwide traction. Five years later...tears of joy as she witnessed her nation's new generation reach their first major final since 2008.
It had looked as if Marta's dazzling international career had come to a heartbreaking end...deep into first-half injury time against Spain in their group-stage meeting, she received a straight red card for a high challenge against Olga Carmona.
Marta, however, has a team of players behind her to rely on now. In her absence and despite significant injury problems, they have paved their way to the gold medal match.
