Reporter: Good afternoon, Phoebe! Thanks for taking the time to speak with us today. Let's dive right into it. Raizes Sao Paulo is off to a great start this season, and your recent form has been exceptional. How are you feeling about your performance so far?
Phoebe Stacey: Thank you for having me. I'm really pleased with how things have been going. I've been working incredibly hard to improve my skills and it's great to see the results paying off on the field. The team has been performing well too, and that's always a positive sign.
Reporter: You mentioned your dedication to improving as a footballer. Could you tell us a bit more about your practice ethics and the sacrifices you've made to reach this level?
Phoebe Stacey: Absolutely. My only goal in life is to thrive as a footballer, so I'm willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that. I work tirelessly every day, constantly pushing myself to become better. It's a solitary journey, though, as I've had to sacrifice friendships and social activities. But it's all worth it when I see the progress I've made.
Reporter: That level of dedication is truly inspiring. How do you strike a balance between maintaining a healthy lifestyle and still having fun outside of football?
Phoebe Stacey: It's important to have a balanced approach to life. While football is my priority, I understand the significance of maintaining a good overall health. I try to eat well, exercise regularly, and get enough rest. But I also believe in the importance of having fun and enjoying life outside of the sport. It helps keep me mentally fresh and motivated.
Reporter: That's a great perspective to have. Now, let's talk about your favorite club to play against. You mentioned GRR. What specifically makes those matches special for you?
Phoebe Stacey: GRR has always been a tough opponent, and their playing style challenges me as a forward. I enjoy the intensity and the competitive spirit that arises when we face each other. The atmosphere created by their passionate fans also adds an extra thrill to those encounters. It's always a thrilling experience to play against GRR.
Reporter: Moving on, what's your favorite formation and play style?
Phoebe Stacey: I've always found the 4-3-3 formation to be very effective, both in creating scoring opportunities and maintaining defensive stability. As for play style, I prefer a neutral approach, focusing on adapting to the game's demands and exploiting the opponent's weaknesses. Flexibility is key in modern football, and being able to adjust our tactics during a match gives us an advantage.
Reporter: Your team is currently ranked 3rd out of 10 teams. What are your expectations for the rest of the season?
Phoebe Stacey: We've had a solid start, and I believe we have what it takes to maintain our position or even climb higher in the rankings. Our team chemistry is excellent, and we have exceptional talent all around. I'm confident that if we continue working hard and staying focused, we can achieve great things this season.
Reporter: Lastly, can you share an interesting fact about your life that not many people may know?
Phoebe Stacey: Well, one random fact about me is that I'm also a talented painter. Football has always been my primary passion, but during my downtime, I find solace in expressing myself through art. It's a way for me to relax and tap into a different kind of creativity.
Reporter: That's fascinating! Thank you so much, Phoebe, for giving us insights into your life and career. We wish you all the best for the rest of the season!
Phoebe Stacey: Thank you. It's been a pleasure talking with you.
