By Nathan Mello - in
After a great campaign in the first phase, the Garotos do Ninho begin this Wednesday (8) against Fluminense the second phase of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. The match will be held in Los Larios and the ball will roll from 17 pm.
Since 2015, when they finished fourth in the Brazilian Championship, the "Mais Querido" hadn't reached the second round of the national competition. After the final training session before the match against the Tricolor, striker Bill spoke about the importance of the derby.
"The team has been working hard, and we managed to qualify well for the second round. This derby will be a hot topic, Fla vs. Flu at their home ground, but we'll go all out to come away with the three points."
