Daiane Menezes Rodrigues (born 15 April 1983), commonly known as Bagé, [a] is a Brazilian former footballer. She played as a defender for various Brazilian clubs and for the Brazil national team.
Bagé was born in Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul. [1] She began playing indoor football for a local team called Celeste, and was then scouted by Grêmio. At Grêmio she was converted from a defensive midfielder to a central defender, and that became her permanent playing position for the rest of her career. [2] In 2003 she moved to São Bernardo at the suggestion of her youth international teammate Cristiane. [3]
In January 2010 Bagé left Botucatu, where she had won the 2006 Taça Brasil, for São José. [4] She played for São José in the 2014 International Women's Club Championship, featuring in the Brazilian club's 2–0 final win over English wild card entrant Arsenal. [2]
The later part of Bagé's career was disrupted by knee injuries: an anterior cruciate ligament injury to her right knee in July 2013, followed by an identical injury in the left knee in April 2017 and a torn knee cartilage in October 2018. [5] She left São José in January 2021. [6]
Bagé played for Brazil at the 2002 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship. [7] [8]
In November 2006 Bagé made her senior international debut in Brazil's 6–0 South American Women's Football Championship win over Venezuela at Estadio José María Minella, Mar del Plata. [9]
Bagé was recalled to the national team just before the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, where she played as a sweeper alongside Aline and Érika in a back three. [10] In Brazil's quarterfinal defeat by the United States, Bagé scored a second-minute own goal and had the only missed attempt for either team in the penalty shootout. [11] Nevertheless she retained the support of her teammates. [12]
In January 2012 Bagé was appointed to the captaincy of the national team, and described as "a born leader" by the coach Jorge Barcellos. [13] At the beginning of the 2012 Summer Olympics tournament in London, she had 28 caps for the national team. [14]
Bagé and her São José teammate Priscilinha had a side job selling ice cream at the Estádio Martins Pereira in 2012. [15] In 2013 the duo also opened a car wash business. [16] In 2014 Bagé was criticised for appearing in promotional materials for the fraudulent internet phone service company Telexfree. [17]
