Brazil U-20 played two friendlies against Paraguay during this FIFA international window. In the meeting between the teams this Tuesday (31), the ‘Seleção’ came from behind to beat their opponents 3-1. In the match, coach Paulo Victor named João Victor in the starting lineup, while Douglas Telles remained on the bench.
At Canindé Stadium, Brazil fell behind against Paraguay. However, with three penalties awarded in their favor and converted by Luca Meirelles, Erick Belé, and Isaac, the ‘Canarinho’ defeated the Paraguayans. As a result, the national team ended the FIFA window by beating their rivals in both friendlies.
It is important to note that in the first match between Brazil and Paraguay, on Saturday (28), the Seleção also beat their opponents by the same scoreline in São José dos Campos. In this way, the team wrapped up the window with a 100% record.
João Victor and Douglas Telles were Flamengo’s representatives in the Brazil U-20 national team. In both matches, the center back was a starter and captain of the ‘Seleção’, while the forward was not even included in the squad. Therefore, the red-and-black duo is part of the national team project focused on the South American Championship for the age group.
After the FIFA international window ends, João Victor and Douglas Telles return to Flamengo. It is worth noting that even though they are of U-20 age and part of the youth squad, the players have already featured for the club’s senior team.
Flamengo’s next match of the season will be against Red Bull Bragantino this Thursday (02), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in the ninth round of the Brasileirão. As a result, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will provide all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
