In this game, head coach Carlos Eduardo Pattucci will send his entire team to play. In other words, all 23 drafted players are at his disposal.
The head coach of the Brazilian national team expects the match to be difficult, but also believes in the team’s abilities.
“I believe that against Peru it will be a very difficult game at the beginning. Also because of the background: Peru lost in the opening game [a 4-1 defeat to Argentina] And are fighting for their chances of surviving in the competition. So, it’s going to be a tough opponent. We’ve studied our opponents. We know their strengths and we know some weaknesses that we can exploit,” the coach said.
Forward Kauê Furquim, the team’s top scorer with three goals, stressed the importance of staying focused.

The Brazilian U-17 national team tops Group B with three points.
