🎙 La reacción de Sinclair en enero

Christine, ¿qué sintió al convertirse en la máxima goleadora internacional de la historia?

Es un gran honor y un hito impresionante. Pero, sinceramente, solté un suspiro de alivio y me quité un peso de encima, porque era algo que llevaba años gestándose. Fue una cuenta atrás y los goles iban cayendo poco a poco. Sentí un gran alivio, no voy a mentir.

¿Cómo fue eso de recibir la felicitación de la propia Abby Wambach?

Fue increíble la cantidad de gente que se puso en contacto conmigo después de batir el récord. Lógicamente, recibir la enhorabuena de Abby, así como de infinidad de jugadoras del pasado, tanto compañeras como rivales, fue muy especial. El mundo del fútbol es bastante pequeño y en momentos así te das cuenta de lo unidas que estamos todas.

🎙 La reacción del resto del mundo

"Mi enhorabuena por este histórico y excepcional logro", escribió Gianni Infantino, presidente de la FIFA, en una carta dirigida a Sinclair nada más superar el récord. "Lo conseguiste gracias a tu tremendo compromiso, tu motivación ejemplar, mucho trabajo duro y una increíble pasión por el fútbol. Tus cualidades humanas y talento, por no mencionar tu destacada contribución a la popularidad y crecimiento del fútbol femenino, merecen toda nuestra admiración".
