Brazil and Paraguay face off this Saturday (28) in an Under-20 friendly

Brazil’s Under-20 National Team plays a friendly this Saturday (28) against Paraguay with Flamengo ‘represented’. One player will start and captain the team: center-back João Victor. Meanwhile, forward Douglas Telles, who was also called up, was left out of the matchday squad and will not even be on the bench. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).

The match will take place at José Martins Pereira Stadium, in the city of São José dos Campos. The two teams will face each other again on Tuesday (31), this time in the city of São Paulo, at Canindé. The matches serve as preparation for the South American Under-20 Championship.

HOW IS JOÃO VICTOR DOING?

This will be João Victor’s first match since the Under-20 Copa Libertadores final, played last Sunday (15), won by Santiago Wanderers (CHI) against Flamengo. The center-back had a direct impact on the result. After all, the match ended 1-1 and, in the penalty shootout, the captain was the only player to miss, hitting the post.

On the other hand, Douglas Telles, who was cut from this Saturday’s (28) friendly, did not play in the Libertadores. Since the tournament took place at altitude in Quito, the forward stayed in Brazil after tests showed that the youngster could have more serious health problems if he took the field in Ecuador.
