As the Brazil U-17 National Team began its first training camp on the road to the World Cup in Natal (RN), head coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci balanced squad renewal with maintaining a solid core. One of the players retained from the team’s last engagement is forward Kauê Furquim, one of the athletes Patetuci entrusted with the task of helping players experiencing their first call-up to the Seleção settle in, and who promises to give back in whatever way Brazil needs.
“I want to help my team. One-on-one, ***** ist, goal. Let’s go, Brazil!” Kauê Furquim said when asked how his qualities can help the national team at the start of this cycle. The energy reflects the player’s feelings after being away from the Seleção for just over a month, following the team’s third-place finish at the South American Championship in the category, played in April in Paraguay.

“It’s always good to be here, especially with new faces. We’re always welcoming the new guys who are arriving. And we keep working, now with the World Cup in mind. We have to work hard, we’ve got a tough friendly coming up against the United States and, God willing, everything will work out,” he said.
Although the group has only had two training sessions, and only on Tuesday (2) did it have all 24 players available, the forward is confident of a strong performance. After all, even with changes in personnel, the Seleção still has its main virtue: the talent that is in Brazilian football’s DNA.
