Alline Miranda Calandrini de Azevedo (born 8 March 1988), commonly known as Calan,{{refn|group=note|A shortened version of her surname, adopted by Santos coach Kleiton Lima to distinguish her from teammate Aline.}} is a Brazilian sports journalist and former football defender who played for the Brazil women's national team. She played for Santos, Centro Olímpico and Corinthians.
Club career
Calan began playing football at six years old. Her first professional club was Juventus, from where she progressed to Santos.{{cite news |title=Alline Calandrini: beleza e talento no futebol |url=http://www.futeboldonorte.com/noticias_materia.php?id=24221 |access-date=31 December 2018 |publisher=Federação de Futebol do Estado de Rondônia |date=22 October 2007 |language=Portuguese}} Santos won the Copa Libertadores Femenina in 2009 and 2010, but in early 2012 Santos' board of directors scrapped the women's section, to save money after handing their male player Neymar a large new contract. Ten of the displaced players moved to Centro Olímpico, including Calan, who had to give up her house in Santos to move to a shared flat in São Paulo.{{cite news |title=Após fim do Santos feminino, atletas vão jogar em São Paulo |url=http://esportes.terra.com.br/jogos-olimpicos/2012/apos-fim-do-santos-feminino-atletas-vao-jogar-em-sao-paulo,adb9e534bbb9a310VgnCLD200000bbcceb0aRCRD.html |access-date=31 December 2018 |publisher=Terra (company) |date=13 March 2012 |language=Portuguese}}
When Santos reinstated their women's team in 2015, Calan returned as captain.{{cite news |last1=Mendes |first1=André |title=Calan valoriza primeira temporada após o retorno das Sereias da Vila |url=https://www.santosfc.com.br/en/calan-valoriza-primeira-temporada-apos-o-retorno-das-sereias-da-vila/ |access-date=31 December 2018 |publisher=Santos FC |date=16 December 2015 |language=Portuguese}} She sustained a serious injury in 2016 and did not play at all in 2017 as she was taking part in a reality television series. In February 2018 she transferred to Corinthians.{{cite news |last1=Vieira Ramos |first1=Matheus Henrique |title=Ex-Santos, zagueira Calandrini acerta com o rival Corinthians |url=https://www.torcedores.com/noticias/2018/02/ex-santos-zagueira-calandrini-acerta-com-o-rival-corinthians |access-date=31 December 2018 |publisher=Torcedores.com |date=3 February 2018 |language=Portuguese}} In August 2018 she announced her retirement from playing, to focus on her career as a sports journalist.{{cite news |last1=Munhos |first1=Mayara |title=Ex-Santos, Corinthians e Seleção Brasileira, Alline Calandrini anuncia aposentadoria do futebol |url=http://www.espn.com.br/artigo/_/id/4609426/ex-santos-corinthians-e-selecao-brasileira-alline-calandrini-anuncia-aposentadoria-do-futebol |access-date=31 December 2018 |publisher=ESPN |date=4 August 2018 |language=Portuguese}}
International career
Calan was part of the Brazil under-20 selection at the 2008 South American U-20 Women's Championship and subsequent 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.{{cite web|last1=Leme de Arruda|first1=Marcelo|last2=do Nascimento Pereira|first2=André|title=Seleção Brasileira Sub-20 Feminina (Women's U-20 Brazilian National Team) 2002-2014 |url=http://www.rsssfbrasil.com/sel/brazil200214u20w.htm|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|access-date=29 December 2018|date=28 August 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710094831/http://www.rsssfbrasil.com/sel/brazil200214u20w.htm|archive-date=10 July 2015|df=dmy-all}}
When Calan's Santos coach Kleiton Lima took the Brazil women's national football team job in March 2009, he named her in his first squad for a friendly against Germany in Frankfurt.{{cite news |title=Kleiton Lima assume a Seleção feminina |url=https://oglobo.globo.com/esportes/kleiton-lima-assume-selecao-feminina-3115477 |access-date=31 December 2018 |publisher=Rede Globo |date=31 March 2009 |language=Portuguese}} She was present on the substitutes' bench,{{cite news |title=Brasil empata com Alemanha em amistoso; Prinz sai machucada |url=https://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/ultimas/2009/04/22/ult59u196078.jhtm |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Universo Online |date=22 April 2009 |language=Portuguese |quote=Na reserva, Calan aproveita para guardar recordações do amistoso em Frankfurt}} but did not appear in the match.{{cite news |title=Com Marta em campo, Brasil empata amistoso contra Alemanha |url=http://www.espn.com.br/noticia/45784_com-marta-em-campo-brasil-empata-amistoso-contra-alemanha |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=ESPN |date=22 April 2009 |language=Portuguese}}
Calan was called up by the national team again in August 2013.{{cite news |last1=Penha |first1=Gabriel |title=Jogadora amapaense convocada para a Seleção Brasileira Feminina |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/ap/noticia/2013/08/jogadora-amapaense-convocada-para-selecao-brasileira-feminina.html |access-date=31 December 2018 |publisher=Rede Globo |date=13 August 2013 |language=Portuguese}} She made a first appearance for Brazil in September 2013, in a 1–0 win over Mexico at the 2013 Valais Women's Cup.{{cite web|title=Seleção Brasileira Feminina (Brazilian National Women's Team) 2011-2013|url=http://www.rsssfbrasil.com/sel/brazil201113w.htm|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|access-date=29 December 2018|date=26 November 2017|first=Marcelo|last=Leme de Arruda}}
Despite featuring in Brazil's successful 2014 Copa América Femenina campaign, Calan was not selected for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup or the 2015 Pan American Games. When she was ruled out for six months with damaged knee ligaments in August 2016, she recognised that the squad for the 2016 Rio Olympics was already "closed", but hoped to regain her national team place afterwards.{{cite news |last1=Moreira |first1=Rafael |title=Calan passará por cirurgia após lesão e não jogará mais pelo Santos em 2016 |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/ap/futebol/noticia/2016/06/calan-passara-por-cirurgia-apos-lesao-e-nao-jogara-mais-pelo-santos-em-2016.html |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Rede Globo |date=6 August 2016 |language=Portuguese}}
She was pleasantly surprised to be invited to national team training upon her recovery in January 2017,{{cite news |title=Em rede social, Calan admite surpresa com convocação para a seleção |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/ap/futebol/noticia/2017/01/em-rede-social-calan-admite-surpresa-com-convocacao-para-selecao.html |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Rede Globo |date=27 January 2017 |language=Portuguese}} but exceptionally frustrated when she re-injured the same knee shortly afterwards and was unable to attend.{{cite news |title=Alline Calandrini faz nova cirurgia e fica fora da seleção: "muito frustrada" |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/ap/futebol/noticia/2017/02/alline-calandrini-faz-nova-cirurgia-e-fica-fora-da-selecao-muito-frustrada.html |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Rede Globo |date=11 February 2017 |language=Portuguese}}
Personal life
While playing football Calan also trained as a broadcast journalist, inspired by Glenda Kozlowski. While playing for Santos she appeared as a presenter on Santos TV.{{cite news |last1=Ramos |first1=Carlos |title=Após drama, Calan foca no jornalismo, mas sonha com título brasileiro e seleção |url=https://www.ogol.com.br/news.php?id=194933 |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Ogol.com |date=24 April 2017 |language=Portuguese}} Sometimes described as a muse, it was reported that Calan's good looks brought her wider attention and a dedicated social media following.{{cite news |last1=Giufrida |first1=Bruno |title=Musa, líder e futura jornalista: Alline Calandrini está de volta ao Santos |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/sp/santos-e-regiao/noticia/2015/05/musa-lider-e-futura-jornalista-alline-calandrini-esta-de-volta-ao-santos.html |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Rede Globo |date=19 May 2015 |language=Portuguese}}{{cite news |last1=Junior |first1=Roberto |title=Zagueira do time feminino do Santos faz santistas se apaixonarem na web |url=https://www.torcedores.com/noticias/2015/08/zagueira-do-time-feminino-do-santos-faz-santistas-se-apaixonarem-na-web |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Torcedores.com |date=7 August 2015 |language=Portuguese}} As a young player she was annoyed by the "musa" label and wanted respect as an athlete. In later years she did not allow it to unsettle her or detract from her football.{{cite news |last1=Cavalcante |first1=Janaína |authorlink1=Janaína Queiroz Cavalcante |title=Entrevista com Alline Calandrini: zagueira do Santos fala sobre Conmebol, aposentadoria e muito mais |url=https://www.torcedores.com/noticias/2016/10/entrevista-com-alline-calandrini-zagueira-do-santos-fala-sobre-conmebol-aposentadoria-e-muito-mais |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Torcedores.com |date=7 October 2016 |language=Portuguese}} During her career she rejected transfer offers from foreign clubs, preferring to remain in Brazil.{{cite news |title=Alline Calandrini: Mood of Brazil Women's National Team is cheerful, confident and focused |url=https://www.womenssoccerunited.com/allini-calandrini-interview/?acpage=4 |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Women's Soccer United |date=23 September 2014}}
