Every soccer fan is aware of Marta’s legacy. Yet, there are a few things fans may not know about Marta. Her power and uniqueness as a player translate to her persona off the field. Here are ten things about Marta that aren’t widely known.
1. Vieira da Silva
Like many Brazilian soccer players, Marta goes by and is widely recognized by only her first name. Her last name is Vieira da Silva. Yet, being referred to and recognized by only her first name suits her legendary status. Think of the many one-name icons throughout various industries: Beyonce, Pele, Rihanna, Ronaldo, Picasso, Ronaldinho, and the list can go on. Marta is definitely on that list.
2. Power Stay Lipstick
“I always wear lipstick. Not that colour, but today I said ‘I’m going to dare’. I tried it and I think it was good. The colour is of blood, because we had to leave blood on the pitch. Now I’m going to use it in every game” Marta on her choice of lipstick yesterday. #ITABRA #BRA pic.twitter.com/lsn2BZT8DF
