Luighi of Palmeiras shares thoughts on Brazil’s U20 World Cup preparations | OneFootball

Palmeiras has five representatives in the Brazil Under-20 National Team, which is in the final stretch of its last preparation phase for the World Cup in this category. The tournament takes place between September 27 and October 19, in Chile.

Luighi frequently joins Palmeiras’ professional squad and has received a series of call-ups to the youth teams of the Seleção. While training with the team in Atibaia, the forward highlighted the unity and focus of the group.

– The group is very united, very strong. In this preparation, we tried to adapt the team a lot, so that when we get to the World Cup there are no mistakes and we can come out as champions. I’m very happy. Whenever I go back to the youth teams, I try to help my team, I try to give my best, and it won’t be any different here.

– I think they are very happy, because I come from humble beginnings, I come from a community, we had almost nothing. It’s the realization of a dream to be here in the National Team and to achieve everything I have achieved – he added.

Palmeiras is the club with the most players called up for this final phase of preparation for the Brazil Under-20 National Team, with five players selected. Luighi has been defending the Palestra colors since 2016 and has official titles in all youth categories.

– I’m very happy to be a Palmeiras player. It’s a club that welcomed me, everything I achieved was there. I’m happy to be part of the Academy’s Youth. I think the more gems from the youth system move up to the professional squad and stand out, the better for us. I’m very happy with the players who have been standing out and coming to the National Team – he concluded.
