The coach emphasizes that concentration will be crucial to overcoming the opponent and advancing in the competition, following the strong result achieved by the Garotos do Ninho in Minas Gerais. The goal is to maintain the same level of performance shown away from home to secure the spot.
"We've got a small advantage away from home, but nothing is decided. We have to enter the match very alert and play our game, because our opponent deserves respect. We're going after qualification for the next round and, if possible, with another victory," said Daniel Franklin.
Winning is indeed crucial because the quarterfinal matches are determined by the best performances. Thus, the team with the best record in the first two stages of the U-17 Brazil Cup will face the team with the eighth-best performance; the second-best team will play the seventh-best team; the third-best team will play the sixth-best team; and the fourth-best team will play the fifth-best team.
In addition to beating América-MG, Flamengo also thrashed Porto Vitória of Espírito Santo 5-1 at Gável Stadium in the first round of the U-17 Brazil Cup, a single-match affair. Victor Hugo, Enzo, Pedro Henrique, Luiz Guilherme, and João Vitor scored the goals.
