A big match. That is what Brazil U-17 head coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci expects for the game against Argentina, which takes place on Friday (10) at 8 p.m. at Estádio Ameliano Villeta, valid for the third round of the South American Championship in the category.

“I expect a great match. It is a historic rivalry, Brazil and Argentina, and also because qualification is at stake. So, in our third match, with a win we can secure an early place in the semifinal, and being a clash with Argentina, it becomes even more important. But we have had three good days of training, we prepared well, with strategies specifically for this match against Argentina, and we will go in strong looking for the win and qualification for the semifinal,” he said.

The Seleção coach highlighted the importance of his team staying calm during the match.

“It is a game that requires emotional control, calmness, patience, knowing how to play the game, understanding the moments of the match, when to speed up play, when to break the rhythm, when to keep possession, because the game fluctuates, and within those fluctuations we have to have the balance to make the most of our good moments. In the moments when we may be facing some difficulty, we need to stay balanced to regain control of the game and, in that way, take advantage of opportunities and go for the win,” he stated.

If they beat Argentina, in addition to early qualification, the Brazil U-17 team will also secure a place at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
