Brazil’s U-20 national team is using the FIFA international window to hold training sessions and friendlies in Spain. This Monday (28), the ‘Seleção’ took the field and thrashed Denmark 4-1. João Victor, Flamengo’s center back, started and captained the team, while goalkeeper Leo Nannetti was an option on the bench.

Brazil, coached by Paulo Victor, opened the scoring as early as the 23rd minute of the first half through Bruninho. Shortly after, Denmark managed to equalize in the 31st minute with Olti Hyseni. However, before halftime, in the 35th minute, midfielder Lucas Rodrigues put Brazil back in front.

After the break, Brazil truly pulled away on the scoreboard. Erick Belé and Yuri Leles found the net against Denmark and sealed the positive result for the ‘Canarinho’.

ARE FLAMENGO’S JOÃO VICTOR AND LEO NANNETTI WITH THE BRAZIL U-20 NATIONAL TEAM?

During this FIFA international window, João Victor and Leo Nannetti are unavailable for Flamengo because they are on duty with Brazil’s U-20 national team. This Monday (28), the center back wore the captain’s armband, while the goalkeeper remained as an option.

It is important to note that Leo Nannetti is one of the squad players with the most experience when it comes to the Brazil national team. During the World Cup, Flamengo’s No. 1 spent the entire period available to Carlo Ancelotti.

On that occasion, Taffarel called up Leo Nannetti to join the goalkeepers’ training sessions in the United States. Therefore, even though he was not on Ancelotti’s official squad list, the 19-year-old Flamengo player experienced the entire atmosphere of the ‘Canarinho’ throughout the national-team tournament.

WHAT ARE THE NEXT GAMES FOR BRAZIL’S U-20 NATIONAL TEAM?

After thrashing Denmark, Brazil’s U-20 national team is preparing for its next commitments of the season. Thus, on Thursday (01), the ‘Seleção’ will face the United States at 1:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Pinatar Arena in Spain. Finally, on Sunday (04), Paulo Victor’s team will wrap up the series against Mexico, at the same venue and time.
