“In our planning, we decided that we would make the most of the training period to consolidate the concepts and game behavior, following CBF’s game model. And we scheduled the training match for the end of the preparation. It was an excellent test for us, because the important thing was to apply what had been worked on in training, which were the game concepts, the behavior and the collective movements. The players applied it very well. I was satisfied,” said the coach of the U-17 National Team.
