Taluane Pereira Barbosa

She wears a Jesus Christ pendant and described it as protection against “olho gordo,” a Brazilian expression for envy or bad energy.

Taluane has a goalkeeper-glove partnership with Luvas GK12 — she described the arrival of their gloves as “the most awaited moment” and praised their comfort, quality and grip.

Taluane once underwent surgery to reconstruct the radial collateral ligament in her right thumb — a particularly meaningful injury for a goalkeeper — and promised fans she would be back soon.

Taluane shares a meaningful tattoo with one of her friends — a small reminder of faith, friendship and the people who have been part of her journey.

A meniscus injury kept her away from the pitch for almost two months, but she stayed close to the group by supporting teammates as one of the captains.
