‘I want to be like Marta’: How Brazil’s all-time record goalscorer became the greatest of all time and an ‘icon’ in her country

“The defenders were always mad at her,” Sissi recalls with a chuckle. “You were like: ‘How are we going to stop this girl?’”

Out of the thousands of training sessions the former Brazil international took part in over the course of her 13-year career, there is one in particular that stands out.

Back in 2000, when Sissi was playing with Rio de Janeiro-based club Vasco da Gama, the team’s Under-15 squad was called up to play in a training match against the seniors.

Among them was a little forward by the name of Marta Viera da Silva, who nobody initially paid much attention to – until they had to.

“Back then, I already knew that she had a gift, and it was hard [facing her],” Sissi tells CNN Sport. “Every time we scrimmaged, the girls had to stop her by going hard on her. She was very special.

“She used to be so good on the ball. It was almost like, close to the goal, she was always waiting for the defender to come for her to do a different move and sit people on the ground.

“It made us laugh. She was very special, very fast, very creative, but it was hard. It was hard for us.”

Obrigada, Marta!

"It is hard to talk. It wasn't in my worst nightmares the World Cup I dreamed of. It's just the beginning. Brazilian people asked for renewal, it is being renewed, the only old woman is me and maybe Tamires next to me. Most of the team is made up of talented girls with a huge road ahead of them. I end here, but they continue.

We now have players to look up to [in women's football], and that would not have happened if we had stayed still at the first hurdle we faced. It's about being persistent, and it didn't just start with me but with other players back then and I'm very proud and we ask the new generation to continue where we left off, continue to inspire even more girls and boys no matter what age they are.

When I started playing, I didn't have an idol, a female idol. You guys didn't show any female games. How was I supposed to see other players? How I was I supposed to understand that I could arrive at a national team and become a reference?

Today we have our own references. This wouldn't have happened if we had stopped in the first obstacles that we faced. ... And it didn't start just with me, but with a lot of the women back then.

I'm happy to see that sort of thing because 20 years ago, in 2003, you all met Marta. Twenty years later, I'm a player that inspired many women [to play football], and not just football but journalism as well. I see many female journalists here today that we just didn't see back then, so we opened doors to equality."

You know what's funny to me? How Brazil is all about football. Like, we were once The Country of Football.

We take the World Cup seriously! The country literally stops and drops everything for it! The days Brazil played in the World Cup were treated as HOLIDAYS. There were breaks and days off, so people of all ages could watch the games.

And even people like me, who couldn't care less about football, cares for the Cup! I dress yellow/blue during the games, and I cheer on every goal!

Football is in our blood!

And YET! We literally have to BEG for men to watch the Female World Cup! To support and cheer for the girls!

They dare say the Female National Team is "amateur" compared to the Male NT, when we literally have Marta on the female team! The woman is literally one of the best football players in the world! Considered the best SIX TIMES!

The latest Brazilian game was on Monday, and there were no days off. Some schools were kind enough to let the children take a longer break and watch the game. But that's nothing compared to the whole event we make out of the Male World Cup.

And the worst part? We WON! 4x0 victory! And the game was BEAUTIFUL!! And we still get to hear men saying the female Cup is "of less importance", that the game is "boring" and the team is """amateur"""

Every time someone hypes the team up, some entitled man comes acting like he's some expert, starts diminishing and looks down on it, ignoring the effort, the talent, the victory! Because these men just can't stand the thought of women doing what they do and SUCCEEDING on it! They can't stand things not being about them 100% of the time!

I'm just so GRRRRR!

Please support your Female National Team!

Also, fun story: Marta was once named as the best player in a game, and she was gifted freaking HOUSE CLEANING SUPPLIES. From Bombril :)

Men get gifted medals and trophies. Women get house cleaning supplies.

It also happened with a Paraguaian player. She was gifted a kit of pots and pans.

Honestly, f*ck these men!

#support the female Brazilian team #SIX TIMES the best in the world #and Marta still has to endure machismo! #our girls are so talented and yet... #grrrr #long rant #i'm so angry #female #brazil nt #female Brazil nt #women world cup #women supporting women #marta vieira da silva

Brazilian star Marta and her last chance at World Cup glory

The World Cup has been a major gap in the glittering resume of Marta Vieira da Silva’s 23-year career.

If Marta comes off the bench and takes to the field for Brazil’s Women’s World Cup opener against Panama on Monday, it would mark her sixth and final involvement in the premier competition of women’s football.

Along with her six World Player of the Year awards, the remarkable feat is set to cement Marta’s place as one of – if not the greatest – women ever to play the sport. The major gap in the glittering resume of Marta Vieira da Silva’s 23-year career, however, is precisely a World Cup trophy.

Neither “Queen Marta” nor the Brazilian national team – so historically successful in the men’s game – have won a world championship, something the current squad hope to change this year in Australia and New Zealand.

Marta’s influence on women’s football in Brazil cannot be understated. The sport was illegal in the country until the mid-1980s, and Marta was Brazil’s first women’s football superstar.

Happy Birthday, Marta!

Today, February 19, 2024, the Queen of Football turns 38 years old.

Marta Vieira da Silva started her career at the age of thirteen in 1999 at a time with very few references in women's football and, currently, has become the biggest name in the sport. It was only between 2004 and 2009 that the world finally woke up and "discovered" the talent of that player who defended the colors of Umeå IK and since then she has never been forgotten.

She is the holder of two silver medals at the Olympics (2004, Athens & 2008, Beijing), two gold medals at the Pan American Games and was runner-up at the 2007 World Cup with the Brazilian team. Furthermore, she was considered the best player in the world six times – five of them consecutively, breaking a record between men and women for this –. Marta is also the Brazilian team's top scorer – once again, among men and women – with 116 goals scored.

However, it is still difficult to measure Marta and her achievements in a simple text like this. She was and still is a great inspiration for many women around the world and will always be the biggest name in women's football. I lack words to express the admiration I have for her and the honor I feel in wearing the colors of my country and having a representative like her.

I was born and raised after the golden age of Brazilian football, but I am still fully capable of understanding the magnitude of her achievements and that of all football. Being young and/or from another country is no excuse for the lack of recognition of this incredible woman.
