Brazil U17 coach praises side's resilience in win over Peru Carlos Eduardo Patetuci, head coach of the Brazil U-17 National Team Credits: Nelson Terme / CBF Carlos Eduardo Patetuci, head coach of the Brazil U-17 National Team, reflected on Brazil’s 4-1 comeback win on the night of last Monday (6) at Ameliano Villeta Stadium, in Villeta, Paraguay, in the second round of Group B of the South American Championship in the category. The man in charge of the Canarinho highlighted the team’s ability to respond. “It was a very important win over Peru.
They made things difficult for us. They dropped deep defensively, played in a very low block, and that demanded a bit of patience, composure, and quick passing from us, which we didn’t have at the start of the game. We were hit on the counterattack and conceded the first goal.
But we managed to regain our balance well after the goal. We stayed calm, and it was important to maintain that balance. We equalized and soon after took the lead.
The momentum shifts within the game itself, so at times you manage to stay in control and at others you fluctuate. This is a new generation, playing its first official competition, which is the South American Championship, a difficult tournament. And they showed great balance, they are maturing, they are growing throughout the competition.
