[…] And I'm wondering too, we're trying to explain to people outside of Brazil why the Brazilian women's team has not won a World Cup yet, apart from the men's team having several titles. And I'm wondering how you would explain that to them.

I think the investment …hum…is a big part. I think… hum… being able for youth players to be able to …hum… have the opportunity to showcase their, their talent and have the conditions and the clubs at the youth level to be… hum… to have the training that they need to develop as football players. And I think that's where all the… hum… when we talk about injuries and they all say, oh, the injuries is because females are more prone to injuries, I think we need to shift that mindset. And I think that's where, you know, we need to make sure we develop young female players the right way. We need to make sure that we teach them the right movement. We need to have the right resources, the right coaches, the right people… hum… to help them succeed. And I think, like I said, I think the more investment it's gonna, is gonna help that. And I think the more… hum… personnel and staff that they put in clubs… hum… to grow the game in the beginning, like under nine, under ten, under eleven… hum… Get that, you know, we talk about places like America where they, they start young and they, they have those academies. And I think Brazil is growing a lot on that and I think people are not seeing it yet. But there is a lot of good work being done in the country for a lot of, a lot of good professionals, a lot of good coaches. There, in clubs, they are passionate about the game. But like I said, it's, it's we have to trust the process. I think people sometimes they think it's gonna come very quickly. And when you think about culturally… hum… places like America, they've done it for so long and that's, that's, you know, that that helped them… Hum… But I don't think I think we can't forget that we are doing a lot in that and there's a lot of things being done. But people need to trust the process. And I think it's a, it's a marathon, not a sprint, as they say. So I think in the next few years we're gonna, we're seeing already, but we're gonna see it more and more, hum… How we gonna have more talent; we're going to have more players that are gonna be ready for the game and they're gonna be prepared to play at the highest level.
