Brazil’s Under-20 National Team’s 2-0 victory over Bolivia this Wednesday (12) at Granja Comary in Teresópolis (RJ) was attended by much of the CBF National Teams Department, in another step toward integration between the youth teams and the senior squad. Everyone left pleased with what they saw and with Under-20 coach Paulo Victor’s summary of the training period in Teresópolis.

“We had here another demonstration of the new CBF, led by president Samir Xaud, because the more often we are together with our youth categories, working closely with their coaches and entire coaching staffs, the closer we are to the ideal scenario. This integration is the main theme of our current moment. It is from this work here, from the National Team’s youth categories, that the future stars of the Senior National Team will emerge. So, the more time we spend together exchanging ideas and developing new methodologies, the better. This is very beneficial for Brazilian football,” said Rodrigo Caetano, CBF’s general executive coordinator of the men’s national teams.

He was joined by Cícero Souza, from the men’s national teams, Juan Santos, technical coordinator of the Senior National Team, Taffarel, the National Team’s goalkeeping coach, and Branco, who is coordinator of CBF’s youth national teams. Under-17 coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci also attended at Granja Comary.

“It was very good. Paulo Victor was able to call up some players for the first time and get a closer look at them day to day, evaluating each one in training sessions and matches. We have the South American Championship in January, and this broad observation, since it was not a FIFA international window, helps Paulo make his choices. It is work adapted to reality. This little over a week of the Under-20 National Team at Granja Comary was very productive,” Branco commented.
