#LIBERTADORES

[sccpmccabe]

Do you follow football and still don't know how mystical this sport is? Then let me explain it to you with just one example.

Two years ago, playing in the Copa Libertadores da América, the Corinthians defender and former Brazilian national team striker (yes, you read that right, former striker), Érika had already started the competition with an injury, but ended up tearing her ACL in a game played in Paraguay, the same venue as this year's Women's Libertadores.

She spent almost two years off the pitch after encountering several problems in her recovery and made her return to the team at the beginning of this year, becoming a symbol of resistance. Érika is already 36 years old, and has had a very successful career wherever she has been, from Santos, PSG, and especially at her current home, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, where she is carried by the fans with idolatry. She could have ended her career there in 2022, or after the complications of her surgery, but Érika persisted.

Today, on 10/19 (interestingly, the date forms the year the club was founded, 1910) she scored the goal that sealed Corinthians' victory and the historic and never-to-be-repeated feat in this competition, winning five editions of the Copa Libertadores. All this in the same place that gave her nightmares a few years ago, that filled her head with uncertainty and negative thoughts.

Football is pure magic, it is cruel, but it knows how to repair the damage it has caused to those who have always treated the ball and the sport with due respect.
