Meaning
This can be taken to mean that national pride is not a slogan for her, but part of her background and motivation. It also reads as modest, because the joke turns on the contrast between serious patriotism and the casual surprise of being seen as good enough to play. It lands in a conversation about representing a country and the mixed feeling of duty, pride, and self-deprecation that can come with it.
