Brazil’s U-17 National Team wrapped up preparations this Wednesday (19) at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, for the first friendly against Venezuela. With the match scheduled for this Thursday (20) at 11 a.m., head coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci used the final session to fine-tune the team’s details before putting the week’s work to the test.
The training session featured a significant amount of technical and tactical work. The coaching staff once again focused on the game concepts that have been worked on since the start of the call-up, while the players were placed in situations that mirrored moments that may arise during the match.
Movement, organization, and decision-making were worked on with the aim of bringing training as close as possible to the reality of the game. It was also Patetuci’s final opportunity to make the adjustments he deemed necessary before the opening match of this stage of preparation.
With the session completed, the National Team has concluded its training cycle and is now fully focused on Venezuela. The first friendly will be played at Granja Comary, where the teams will face each other again on Sunday (23) at 10 a.m.
Both matches are part of the preparations for the U-17 World Cup, which will be held in November in Qatar.
The match between Brazil and Venezuela will be broadcast exclusively on CBF TV.
