Heittor was one of the standout players in Brazil U-20’s 2-0 win over the United States on Thursday (1), at Pinatar Arena in San Pedro del Pinatar, Spain. The forward scored Brazil’s second goal and celebrated the chance to find the net wearing the national team shirt.

“First of all, I want to thank God. I’m very happy to be scoring while wearing such a great shirt. It’s the result of a lot of hard work. We’re taking in Paulo’s work and starting to understand each other well,” he said.

Brazil struggled in the first half and went into the break without managing to impose the rhythm they wanted. For Heittor, the adjustments made by the coaching staff at halftime were important in changing the team’s performance in the second half.

“We weren’t able to do what had been asked of us, but Paulo Victor made changes at halftime and we came away very happy with the win,” he said.

The forward stressed that he intends to keep working to help the team in its final match. In addition to finding the net against the United States, he also scored one of the goals in the 4-1 win over Denmark last Monday (28) (look back here).

“I’m very happy to be scoring goals. I hope to keep it up, keep working, and now the focus is on the next game as we go for the win,” he concluded.

Brazil U-20’s next match is against Mexico on Sunday (4), at 11 a.m. local time (6 a.m. Brasília time), once again at Pinatar Arena. The match will be broadcast on CBF TV via YouTube. The game will mark the end of the team’s stint in Spain under head coach Paulo Victor.
