It’s reported that the team was in a 4-3-3 formation and showed great offensive power using the Santos striker as a great center to put the team ahead when necessary and using the wide players to be dangerous offensively.
The manager of the youth team has almost the entire squad after the arrival of Marquinhos from Arsenal and is only waiting for captain Andrey Santos, who will arrive this week.
The team led by Ramon will play another preparation game this Friday against the Botafogo U-23 team. Let’s remember that Brazil will debut in the U-20 World Cup against Italy on Sunday 21 of this month. Nigeria and the Dominican Republic are also in the group.
