Kauan Lima, of Palmeiras, celebrates U20 clean-sheet run

Palmeiras goalkeeper Kauan Lima wrapped up another stint with the Brazil Under-20 national team on a high note. Starting in both friendlies against Bolivia, held at Granja Comary, the player delivered solid performances and did not concede any goals.

Against Bolivia, Kauan showed confidence when called upon and valued the opportunity to represent Brazil. For the goalkeeper, the run of matches was important both for his individual development and for gaining experience in international competitions.

It was a very positive experience. They were two important matches in which I was able to help the team with a few saves and, above all, by not conceding any goals. It is always a great responsibility to play for the national team, so I’m happy that I made the most of those moments in these friendlies.

The call-up also reinforces the place Kauan has been earning in the national team’s youth ranks. This was the third time the goalkeeper had been called up this season and, this time, he was given the opportunity to start both matches against the Bolivians.

Every call-up has a special meaning; it is always very rewarding to play for Brazil. Being called up again is a source of great pride and shows that the work I have been doing with Palmeiras has been paying off. I want to keep improving and making the most of every opportunity so that I am always ready when needed.

Back at Palmeiras, Kauan is now shifting his focus to one of the season’s main challenges. Verdão has qualified for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship final, where they will face Vasco in a two-legged tie.

The decisive matches are scheduled for August 28 and September 4.
