Ok, Marta throwing a baseball at a LA Dodgers game is pretty random. They should’ve included a bonus round with Mickey Mouse Beckham as he elegantly manhandles a Javelin. What a spectacle that would’ve been.
On a more serious note, Pele will officially announce Marta as a Santos player in the squad’s attempt to win the first ever female edition of the Libertadores Cup on October 4th. And guess who else will be playing alongside her? Our favorite chica de fútbol, Cristiane!!!
“Santos have a great project for women’s football and our intention is to leverage the sport in the country. Having the best in the world playing in Brazil will be important to create that identity and to get new partners,” said the club’s president, Marcelo Teixeira.
The tournament only runs for 3 weeks and we’re guessing Marta’s life at Los Angeles Sol will resume after that. And Pele probably thought of this when they sat him with Marta at last year’s FIFA Annual Gala dinner. They needed convo fillers for those in-between numbers….
