After victories over Denmark and the United States, Brazil’s U-20 National Team will face Mexico this Sunday (4) at 11 a.m. local time (6 a.m. Brasília time) at Pinatar Arena in San Pedro del Pinatar. Forward Yuri Leles highlighted the team’s preparation for the match and the possibility of ending the run with three wins.

“The expectation is that tomorrow [Sunday] will be another big challenge for us. We’ll be facing Mexico, a very qualified team. We are very well prepared, and the training sessions over the last few days, along with the game against the United States, have left us very ready to go out tomorrow and play a great match, to close this cycle with three wins in three games,” he said.

Yuri scored in the 4-1 win over Denmark in the first friendly of the series. The forward recalled the importance of that moment and the opportunity to represent Brazil’s National Team.

“I think it was very important for my personal and professional life as well. Being here with the National Team, having the opportunity to come on, score a goal, and leave with the win,” he said.

Brazil then beat the United States 2-0. For Yuri, it was the toughest match so far, both because of the balance between the teams and the battle throughout the 90 minutes.

“In the last game against the United States, it was the toughest and most hard-fought match. The team did very well to get another win. I think we are very capable of going out again tomorrow, putting in a great performance against Mexico, and finishing well,” he said.

With preparations completed for the final friendly, Yuri sees the squad as confident about ending their time in Spain with a perfect record.

“With three wins, we’ll finish this FIFA stage in a very positive way. Very confident in what we’ve been doing,” he concluded.
