Brazil step up preparations for Copa Sul-Americana U20 finals | OneFootball

The Brazilian Women's Under-20 Team has already turned the page and began preparations for the next phase of the South American Championship in Paraguay this Saturday (14). After the classic match against Argentina, the coaching staff led a session focused on fine-tuning, with an emphasis on details that can be decisive in games. According to coach Camila, the team approaches each commitment as a decision, and the work from now on will be directed towards raising the level in all aspects of the game.

"From now on, the focus is entirely on the details. That's how you play a final. You play to win, and you win in whatever way possible, whether it's technically, tactically, physically, mentally, or with grit. We will work on these details to place each game within this final structure and give our best game by game," she emphasized.

The session held a day after the match against Argentina aimed primarily at adjusting the offensive performance, especially in the final third of the field. Despite the good volume of play presented, the staff identified points to be adjusted.

"The focus was on the details. We had a very high volume of finishing and reaching the final third. So we worked on the final pass and finishing, which are fine-tuning adjustments at this moment. Our offensive volume was very good, and we also worked on the reaction after losing possession and defensive balance. These are details we will continue to adjust," she explained.

Another factor that has required special attention from the coaching staff is the intense heat in Paraguay. The high temperatures directly influence the training planning and load management. Additionally, the staff sought to balance the players' playing time during the first phase, ensuring that the squad is physically prepared for the decisive sequence of the tournament.

"We faced a very hot preparation here in Paraguay, a different heat than what we were used to. We had to pay a lot of attention to hydration, load management, and also the exposure time of the athletes to the sun. It was a work built together with the health and performance unit to ensure they reach this second stage with less wear and in the best conditions," Camila stated.
