Alan Kardec, Douglas Costa and Giuliano are the three musketeers ya’ll should be looking out for in the selecao. Granted, they didn’t bring home the U-20 World Cup trophy, but thankfully, they have a pretty awesome sense of humour to make up for it… although Giuliano needs to stop showing off his body. Hey, você quer ser como uma douchebag?
Anyway, watch the video above to see them trying on new shirts and pretending to ask one another questions (uma falha grande!)
It’s getting difficult to stay track of this competition but due to its complex nature, the young selecao have emerged as champs of the U-20 Sudamericano!
With second half goals from Walter and Douglas Costa, the team defeated Columbia 2-1 yesterday. That result, and the tie between Uruguay and Paraguay (2-2) assured Brazil its tenth South American title.
They’re now regional champions and have secured a place in the World Under-20 Championships, which will be contested in Egypt this year.
The U-20 selecao begun their final round campaign in a rematch against Uruguay last night, beating their opponents 3-2. Walter scored two goals in the game – no surprise there for the number 9. Douglas Costa slotted in the third goal which slipped past goalkeeper Perez’s hands.
It’s going to be an exciting match on Monday in Maturín, where Brazil meet Argentina. Looking forward to it!
In an open and exciting U-20 group match yesterday, Brazil were defeated 2-3 by Uruguay. The highlight of the game was a double by Uruguayan striker, Hernández. With the result, Brazil now lie in the third place of Group B with seven points. They will meet Uruguay again on Saturday.
According to the Brazilian press, the root of the team’s problem lay in the defense. They had the advantage of ball possession in the first half and long-distance kicks. But Leandro’s failure to react in the 22nd minute gave Uruguay the chance to lead.
The goal affected Brazil’s play on the field. The defense appeared afraid and marking was loose. Fortunately, after Douglas Costa’s goal in the first half, Brazil’s Alan Kardec found the net to save the blushes.
