Brazil under-15s face Uruguay this Wednesday in Teresópolis

Brazil's under-15 national team faces Uruguay in a friendly match on Wednesday, March 19, at Granja Comary in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro. This match is part of the Liga Evolução, which will take place in Paraguay in September. The friendly games are intended to solidify the team's strategies, behaviors, and emotional aspects as they prepare for their first official competition.

Head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa expects a challenging match against the physical style of Uruguay's team, noting their reliance on physicality over technical skills. The Brazilian team aims to dictate the game and instill confidence by completing every move with a shot on goal, as emphasized by Dalla Déa. In July, the U-15 team won two friendlies against Chile with scores of 8-1 and 4-2.

Forward Gabriel Bueno, the top scorer in the recent Copa do Brasil U-15, looks forward to the upcoming matches against Uruguay, citing the strength of the rival team as the primary reason for the increased experience. In his third stint with the youth ranks, Gabriel Bueno admires fellow forward Estêvão, a former Palmeiras player now at Chelsea, for his humility, kindness, and attention to everyone, both on and off the field.
