Marta begins crying as she's asked about legacy in MD-1. "When I started playing I didn't have an idol, a female idol." How was she supposed to see herself when they didn't show women's football on TV? Now people stop the team and say, my daughter wants to be like you.
"I am very happy to see all of this now because 20 years ago, nobody knew Marta. It was my first World Cup. 20 years later, we have become the reference for many women all over the world, not only in football, in journalism as well, we see many women journalists here today."
Marta's open emotion in today's presser as she talks about the growth of the game. "The generation that's starting now is going to take our work forward for many years to come.... This World Cup is for all of us, not just Marta."
