Cristiane Rozeira has entered a different stage of her life – and it is a busy one. Over the past few weeks the all-time Olympic record scorer has been trying to find a place to live with her wife and two-year-old son Bento, as well as settling in at her new club Flamengo, the famous Rio de Janeiro club where, among others, Zico, Romário, Adriano and Vinícius Júnior have played.
Her target? To raise the profile of Flamengo’s women’s team and for them to create their own history. “We want to mark the history of the women’s team,” she tells Moving the Goalposts. “I am not the only one who wants to do that but the whole team. I have had some really good times in my career and will try to contribute as much as possible. I realise the history of the male players who have worn this shirt and therefore how important and how historic it is to be a player at this club. I want to add that feeling to the women’s team.”
