We are very excited to win this title. We also battled Mima and Hina in the final two years ago, and today we met them again. We have developed a lot ourselves and I think the key to winning this match was because of our bond and understanding of each other.

The truth is and I said at the time that my biggest feat【成就】 was accomplished in June. It’s something I had hoped for ever since I started playing for the national team.

就像我之前说的，获得美洲杯冠军就是我职业生涯的最大成就。从为国家队效力开始，这就是我的梦想。
