Dell praises the national team group

Dell, the forward from Bahia, praised the team's preparation. The 17-year-old player commended the players' interaction both on and off the field, as well as revealing his feelings before the debut.

“This group is very unique, besides, of course, the characteristics with the ball and off the field. Everyone chats, everyone is together, and this builds confidence and helps you get to know your partner more and more. This is very good,” said the forward in an interview with CBFTV.

“The debut is always important. It builds confidence for both the athletes and the staff, but we have been training well throughout this preparation. And we are going in search of the three points, as we studied Honduras, how they press, how they like to attack. We are working every day just thinking about the first game,” he added.

Besides Honduras, Brazil also faces Indonesia and Zambia in the group stage of the U-17 World Cup. The team aims to win the tournament for the first time since 2019, when it was champion playing at home.
