She mentioned that her former teammate at Barça, Andrea Pereirawho recently left Club América after two seasons, shared his positive comments: “Since we were at Barça during pre-season, I had many conversations with Andrea Pereira and she told me everything. She had a lot of good things to say. I was really happy here, very happy. At the end of the day, it’s about being in a place where you feel really appreciated and loved.

“My goal is to contribute and help America “to become champions,” she said, emphasizing that “I think it’s a fantastic institution. As I mentioned before, they’re the best team here. They’re making great progress. There’s a strong commitment to winning titles. Although it was difficult to follow the games because of the schedule, I tried to follow the last two tournaments.
