BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- Maria Cristina Galvez, captain and star of the Bolivian women's futsal team, said on Saturday that the team will try to make the country proud at the Youth Olympics.
Having scored 13 goals in four matches, the 18-year-old Galvez dazzles everyone with her moves and is now dreaming big at the Games, where they will contest against either Portugal or Japan in the women's futsal semifinals.
"I am very excited because it's something that we weren't expecting. But we came here to represent our country which motivate us to win," Galvez said.
"It is very exciting to receive ovations from the public and to hear people from other countries chanting your name. We are pushing Bolivian futsal forward and we are showing that there is talent in our country. And we'll keep on fighting to move forward.
"It won't be easy, but we'll give our very best. We do not have a preferred rival for the semifinals because either of them will be very tough," Galvez said.
Bolivia will play the semifinals on Monday.
