After opening with a 5-0 win over Bolivia last Saturday (4), the Brazil U-17 National Team already has another commitment. The team led by coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci faces Peru this Monday (6), at 8 p.m., at Ameliano Villeta Stadium, in Villeta, Paraguay, in the second round of the South American Championship for the category. The match will be broadcast on SporTV.

For the clash, coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci will have his full squad available. In other words, all 23 called-up players are at his disposal.

The Brazil National Team coach expects a difficult match, but trusts in the ability of his group.

“I believe that against Peru it will be a very difficult game at first. Also because of the context: Peru lost in its opener [a 4-1 defeat to Argentina] and is coming in to play for its chance to stay alive in the competition. So, it will be a tough opponent. We have already studied the opponent. We know their strengths and also some weaker points for us to exploit,” the coach said.

Top scorer on the team with three goals, forward Kauê Furquim stressed the importance of staying focused.

“We have to keep our feet on the ground and stay focused on this next match. God willing, we’ll go in the same way we did in the first game, and everything will work out.”

With three points, the Brazil U-17 National Team sits at the top of Group B.
