Boys' under-15s called up for friendlies against Chile | OneFootball

The Brazil Men’s Under-15 National Team was called up this Tuesday (23) for friendlies against Chile in Santiago on July 7 and 9. The matches are part of the coaching staff’s fourth preparation phase for the Liga Evolução, which will take place in September this year.

Among those called up by coach Guilherme Della Déa are seven players who will have their first opportunity with the national team in this age group: Guilherme Borges (Internacional-RS), Yan Borges (Sport-PE), Gabriel Rodrigues (Palmeiras-SP), Marcos Vinícius (Botafogo-RJ), José Kayck (Ceará-CE), Azhaf Mendes (Athletico-PR), and Asafe Santos (Internacional-RS). The coach praised the progress of the selected players and highlighted the team’s preparations for the Liga Evolução.

“We are heading into the fourth preparation phase, a very important time for observation. We have called up seven new players who came onto our radar through my observation and that of the entire coaching staff, including our scouts. This shows the coordinated work between technical scouting and the coaching staff. We will have two important matches against Chile, a South American school of football, and they are part of the preparation process for the Liga Evolução in September,” said Guilherme Della Déa.

After the friendlies against Chile, Brazil will enter the fifth preparation phase, the last one before the Liga Evolução. In August, two friendlies against Uruguay will be held at Granja Comary.

“It is very meticulous work. We are improving, and with each call-up the players are progressing. And we can see that; we are following every step of this growth. Credit goes to the clubs, credit goes to the coaches who every day focus on their individual development. And when these players arrive at the national team, our job becomes easier. Everyone knows the size and importance of representing the Brazilian National Team, and that is what we expect,” Guilherme Della Déa emphasized.
