JAKARTA - The Brazil U-17 national team will face New U-17 Caledonia as the next opponent after Iran U-17, Tuesday 14 November. Brazil's meeting with the opposing team will be used as well as possible to rise.

Previously, the Samba Team surprisingly lost 2-3 to Iran U-17 which was not seeded on paper. In order to open up opportunities for the next round, Brazil's U-17 coach, Phelipe Leal, will mobilize his players to go all out.

This was revealed by the coach while leading the team's training at the Madya Stadium, Monday, November 13 afternoon. For that target, Pheelipe Leal asked his team to give their best performance with a high focus.

The new Kaledonia opponent starts with a score of 0-0 and during that match, Brazil will play with the best and focused performance. We will try to bring out all the ability to win and the second factor is situational," he said.

On the other hand, Phelype Leal also emphasized that against Kaledonia Baru U-17 his team had to respect the opponent. This was requested by the coach because he did not want his team to be proud, considering that Kaledyonia Baru was previously massacred by England 0-10.

"Players have to play without a burden and have full respect for the opponent. We will try our best tomorrow," said Phelipe Leal.

Regarding the rotation of players he might do, Phelipe said he still needed to see the progress of the players in this training. Because they still have several agendas and must appear stable facing all opponents.

"We still have today to practice and see the development of the players. However, it is possible for some substitutions (on the line-up), but (this rotation) is not only against New Caledonia because we played the tournament, so we have to be stable (compositionally) to show full strength," said Phelipe Leal.

The Brazilian U-17 national team will face New U-17 Caledonia in the second match of Group C of the U-17 World Cup which will take place at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), Jakarta, Tuesday at 16.00 WIB.

In that match, Team Samba needed three full points to keep hope of qualifying for the round of 16.
