On the afternoon of Thursday the 6th, Ceará held its second-to-last training session before the first leg of the Ceará State Under-20 Championship semifinal. The session took place at Cidade Vozão, the same venue as the match against Tirol next Saturday, the 8th.

The vast majority of the players who took part in a Copa Miart Company match on Thursday morning, the 6th, did not even go out onto the field, with the exception of ten players. Those who did not play in the match trained as usual.

This Saturday’s match, the 8th, will be the first of two knockout fixtures in the State Under-20 Championship semifinals. The match will kick off at 9:30 a.m. at Franzé Moraes Stadium. The second leg will take place on 08/21.

At the end of today’s training session, cearasc.com spoke with Ronald, one of the black-and-white side’s standout players in the state quarterfinals. The forward talked about the preparation for the match and looked ahead to the clash.

“The preparation has been the best possible. We’ve been dedicating ourselves more and more to arrive ready for these two matches. We know it’s not just 90 minutes. It will be 180 difficult minutes. So we’re going all in to secure qualification for the grand final,” he said.
