“She is really good, a good finalist. But one thing, like some players, is like, oh, they are really good in the ball, but they don’t work hard. But she does everything.”

“She works hard. She defends herself. It is good in the ball. It ends. It brings that energy that does everything. And you can’t talk enough about it.”

Beyond its technical quality, Ratcliffe also praised the personality and spirit of Gift Monday, which have quickly turned it into a loved presence within the team.

“And then, out of the countryside, it’s very funny. He’s always dancing, always smiling. And it’s such a good personality to have.”

“So it has been really great to see that it is not only part of this team, but also obtains the success it deserves.”

“And I hope he goes ahead, because he deserves it. And I am very happy for her.”
