Ryan celebrates first call-up, living the dream with Brazil U20 | OneFootball

Wearing the Brazilian National Team jersey is every player's dream, and the first call-up is a memory for a lifetime. Right-back Ryan, from Red Bull Bragantino, is experiencing this moment with the Under-20 team: after his first call-up, he was the first player to arrive in São Paulo, where the delegation is gathered for two friendlies against Paraguay.

The call-up came with much celebration for the player, who made sure to share the moment by showing gratitude to those who have supported him in his football journey. “It's a childhood dream come true. Since I was little, I dreamed of one day wearing the Brazilian National Team jersey. I thanked my family, my Under-20 teammates at Red Bull Bragantino, and the professional team,” he said.

In the first training session with the Under-20 group, the right-back received praise from the coaching staff during the drills and felt comfortable with his teammates. “The work was very good, the group has many good players. It's been an incredible experience. Now we will work for the friendlies against Paraguay and, God willing, come out with a victory,” he added.

But the early arrival to the National Team, almost a whole day before the other athletes, also became a reason for jokes within the group. “The guys even said that I would have to introduce the other players who were arriving,” Ryan said, laughing.
