The first was a 4-0 victory over Bolivia, and the latest was a 4-1 win against Peru. Left-back Richard Wendel celebrated the team’s strong start.

“I’m sure we played two good matches. We managed to do what we had practiced during this preparation period, from our time at Granja Comary [in Teresópolis] to the days we’ve had here in Paraguay. We studied both teams well, managed to exploit their weak points, and also neutralize their strengths.

That was essential for our two victories,” he said. Brazil’s next match is against Argentina on Friday (10) at Estádio Ameliano Villeta, in Villeta, Paraguay, in the third round of the South American Championship group stage. “When it comes to Brazil and Argentina, I don’t think either national team ever wants to lose, no matter the sport.

I’m sure we’re preparing well. Me and the whole team, we’re ready for moments like this. We train for this, to play in big matches, in moments like these.
