The venue is CT Joaquim Grava, which belongs to Corinthians, in São Paulo.
“We have called up a great selection. Some are coming for the first time, others already know the job. This preparation is very valid for drawing some conclusions. It is important to make a call-up like this”, he highlighted.

He reinforced the importance of having a winning group and said that their presence helps newcomers adapt to their methodology.
“It’s repetition, there are players who have known me for a long time, they know the work. This already helps a lot even those who are coming, the dynamics of the work are better. They understand and already know what we expect from them.”
In the Pre-Olympic Tournament, Brazil competes for a place in the final quadrangular with Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador, a group assessed by Ramon as very balanced when praising their opponents.
“Everything is very balanced. A South American competition is always very tough. In the Pan, we faced Colombia, who is in our group in the Pre-Olympic. In the South American, it was the opponent we couldn’t beat and we drew both games There’s Venezuela, who will be the home team and has evolved a lot. It’s a very balanced group, with Ecuador also very strong, and we’ll have to do a lot of preparation.”
