The ball is round, said Tolentin, emphasizing that anything can happen in futsal. We'll do everything to win this match. We'll fight for our team, for our country, and for the people who believe in us.
The hosts are aware of the challenge ahead but remain determined to turn things around.
We're not giving up, said Tolentin. We know we can do better than what we did against Poland. We just need to get back on our feet and show them that we can still play well.
