Friendlies to be broadcast on CBF TVCredits: Rafael Ribeiro / CBF
Brazil’s U-15 National Team will go through another important stage of preparation for this season’s commitments. The squad led by head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa reported this Wednesday (13) at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ), where it will begin training for two friendlies against Uruguay.
The matches will be played at Granja Comary. The first game is scheduled for next Wednesday (19) at 11 a.m. The second will take place on Saturday (22) at 10 a.m. The games are part of the coaching staff’s plan for the Liga Evolução, the continental competition for the age group set for September.
More than the results, the matches will serve to continue the process of observing and developing the players. The coaching staff will have the opportunity to monitor the players’ behavior in match situations and put into practice concepts worked on during training periods.
Next steps
The meetings with Uruguay come after a preparation stage held in July. Before traveling to Santiago, Chile, the U-15 National Team stayed at Granja Comary and held six training sessions.
In the Chilean capital, Brazil won both friendlies against the hosts. In the first, the team delivered an outstanding performance and cruised to an 8-1 victory, with goals from Samuell, twice, Brener, Kauã, Yan Gabriel, Gabriel Bueno, Asafe and Gabriel Keven.
In the second match, Brazil won again, this time 4-2. Gabriel Leite scored twice, while Samuell and Maurício completed Brazil’s scoring (read more here).
The two matches against Chile wrapped up the team’s fourth preparation phase. One of the coaching staff’s priorities is to provide opportunities to as many players as possible throughout the cycle, broadening evaluations and contributing to the group’s individual and collective development.
Now, the challenge will be Uruguay. With two home matches against a traditional South American football opponent, the National Team will have another opportunity to put into practice what has been built in training and move forward in its preparation for the Liga Evolução.
Integration at Granja Comary
The U-15 team’s reporting period comes at the same time as the Brazil U-17 National Team’s training camp at Granja Comary. Led by Carlos Eduardo Patetuci, the team is preparing for two friendlies against Venezuela, also at the CBF training center (see here).
The presence of both age groups in Teresópolis reinforces the integrated work of the youth national teams, bringing the groups closer together and allowing an exchange of experiences between players and coaching staffs, without interfering with each team’s specific planning.
