Brazil delay title but stay confident: "We'll give our best," says Orlando | OneFootball

The draw against Ecuador postponed the decision of the South American U-20 Women's Championship title and turned the last round into a new final for the Brazilian National Team. Previously, the direct confrontation was for the trophy, but now the decision will be in the duel against Venezuela, while Brazil will also keep an eye on what happens with the Ecuadorians in the round. For coach Camilla Orlando, the scenario changes in terms of mathematics, but not in attitude.

“Ecuador is the best team we have faced so far. We knew it would be a very difficult game, with a very strong midfield. The most important thing was that we managed to fight until the end and had a chance to turn the game around even after conceding the goal,” she assessed.

According to the coach, the team's reaction once again showed the group's mental strength.

“This demonstrates the resilience and endurance of this team. They are evolving emotionally, tactically, and technically within the competition,” she explained.

Adjustments and confidence for the decision

With the title still undecided, Camilla avoids any guarantees about the result but assures maximum effort.

“What we can guarantee is that we will play our best game of the competition. We will adjust the necessary details, but mainly strengthen our greatest virtue, which is the group, the unity. This needs to prevail,” she stated.

Even against an opponent not directly competing for the title, the coaching staff treats the match as a decision. The goal is clear: to turn evolution into consistent performance.

“If we play a great match, the best of the championship, we will leave here with what we are looking for,” she concluded.
