With a new generation in action in Ecuador this month, Brasil Global Tour catch up with what happened to the last Selecao graduates to take the title
With one eye focused intently on a place at the World Cup, the Brazil Under-20 side kicked off the final stage of the South American Championships this past weekend with a 2-2 draw against Ecuador.
Brazil are one of a six-team group competing for the title, with the top four securing a place at the World Cup in South Korea later this year.
Olympic gold medal-winning coach Rogerio Micale boasts a talented squad which includes the likes of promising youngsters Lyanco, Felipe Vizeu and David Neres, and is hoping to secure what would be the first Under-20 South American title since Neymar hit nine goals to take the crown in 2011.
