Forward João Bezerra, who scored one of the goals in Brazil’s U-17 National Team’s 4-1 win over Peru, highlighted the team’s preparation for the match against Argentina, the squad’s next commitment. He expressed his happiness at the opportunity to wear the Canarinho jersey.

“It’s an indescribable feeling to be wearing such a great shirt, the national team shirt. I thank God for the goal and for being able to help my team in the 4-1 win over Peru. Now, I believe we’ll keep working with focus so that, God willing, we can come away with this South American title,” he said.

The U-17 National Team’s number 9 expects a difficult game, but sees his team as fully focused for the match. Brazil and Argentina face each other on Friday (10), at 8 p.m., at Estádio Ameliano Villeta, in Villeta, Paraguay, in the third round of the South American Championship.

“I know it’s a very difficult game, it’s a derby. We’re training well, prepared for this moment, to step onto the field on Friday. To give our all and represent this great shirt, the national team shirt. It’s very good, everyone is working fully focused, together, the group is strong, focused on one objective only.”

Finally, João Bezerra revealed what day-to-day work is like with coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci.

“It’s very good, he gives us a lot of advice, and we’re able to develop our football, both technically and collectively as well, so we can always give our maximum to help the team,” he said.
