Carol Melo on Seleção edge: “A very technical squad” As the only team with a 100% record at the South American Women’s U-17 Championship, the Brazilian National Team will face Chile in the semifinal. Focused on securing a spot at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, Carol Melo shared what she believes is this group’s difference-maker and said the Canarinho is well prepared for the next stages. “This group is very technical.
Each player’s individual qualities are insane. Every piece adds to the game model, which makes Brazil more attacking and more intense,” she said. “We’re arriving well prepared.
We’ve had a lot of training with this moment we’re about to experience in mind. I’m happy and, God willing, we’re going to Morocco,” she added.
