Brazil’s U-17 National Team beat Argentina 3-0 this Friday (10) at Estádio Ameliano Villeta in Paraguay, securing a place in the South American Championship semifinals and also qualifying for the World Cup.

“It’s a very important win, a victory against Argentina, which always means a great clash. It was a convincing win, and it makes us very happy. The fact that we secured qualification in advance for the semifinals and for the World Cup makes us very happy. Now we have to keep working with great humility,” he said.

The U-17 National Team’s next match is against Venezuela on Sunday (12) at 5 p.m., once again at Ameliano Villeta, in the final round of the group stage of the competition.

“Now we have one day to help the players recover, and on Sunday we’re back against Venezuela. It’s another important match for us to be able to develop variations in the team, maybe rotate some players, because the schedule is very tight and we also need to let the players rest,” he concluded.

With nine points, Brazil’s National Team has a 100% record in the competition and sits at the top of Group B.
