Corinthians U17 top scorer reviews Brazil stint, eyes league game | OneFootball

On the morning of this Monday (24), on Minas Gerais soil, Corinthians’ Under-17 team wrapped up preparations for its next commitment of the season. The Alvinegro will visit América-MG on Tuesday afternoon (25), at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena Urbsan, in Betim-MG, for the 13th round of the first stage of the Brazilian Championship in the category.

Speaking to Corinthians’ official website, midfielder Lucca Caramico previewed the clash and reflected on his time with the Brazil Under-17 national team. The top scorer for the Filhos do Terrão in the category this season, with 14 goals in 19 matches, played in both friendlies against Venezuela at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, and scored a goal in the second match – the Canarinho won 3-0.

“It was an incredible experience. I was very happy not only to play for the national team, but also to score a goal and help the team winr. I hope I can do the same in this match to help my teammates here in the best way possible. I’m sure we’ll play a great match against América,” he said.

In 2025, Lucca Caramico had already stood out in the same category, then coached by Raphael Laruccia, finding the net eight times in 36 matches. This year, he needed only a few games to surpass his total from the previous year. The Alvinegro Under-17 side is currently coached by Guilherme Nascimento, who was hired at the end of last year after doing impressive work at Athletico-PR.

At the moment, Timãozinho sits fourth in the national competition with 23 points, totaling seven wins, two draws, and three defeats. In addition, the team has scored 32 goals and conceded 12. The club from Parque São Jorge is looking to get back to winning ways in the tournament, as it is coming off a 2-0 away loss to Flamengo and a 1-1 draw with Fluminense at Fazendinha in midweek.

Right after visiting América-MG in Minas Gerais, Timãozinho will turn its focus to the second phase of the Paulista Under-17 Championship. That is because, on the morning of next Saturday (29), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), the Alvinegro will host Santa Fé in the third round of the group stage of the second phase of the state competition, at Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha.
