One of Corinthians’ main Under-17 players, forward Léo Amistá, spoke to Corinthians TV about what he expects from the match, praising the quality of the team from Rio Grande do Sul: “We trained well and are prepared to put on the field everything that was planned by the coaching staff. It will be a difficult match against a traditional and quality opponent, and only with a lot of effort and dedication will it be possible to achieve the win, which is our goal.”

At the moment, Timãozinho sits second in Group 11 with 12 points out of a possible 15 — 21 goals scored and four conceded.
