Following the match against Inter, Juventus Women player Martina Rosucci read a letter from the team addressed to Sara Gama, who recently announced her retirement from football. Below is the content of the letter:
Dear Captain, I speak on behalf of all of us who were lucky enough to be inspired and led by you. We wouldn`t be where we are today without your long-standing commitment to building credibility for our movement – and this setting is exactly what you deserved. You enabled us to achieve unimaginable dreams. Through results, you guided us to professionalism, changing the course of our football and our lives. Now, even young girls can answer the question, “Profession?” with “Footballer.”
Anyone who watched you play saw a warrior.
Thank you for defending our goal fiercely, and for always defending us. For guiding us back when we lost our way, and for giving us energy even when you had none left for yourself.
You will run even harder off the field for ambitious goals for the movement. When we say `Captain`, only one name will ever come to mind: Sara Gama.
With love, your teammates forever.
