The groups for the Malaysia U-19 International Tournament, considered the World Cup for the category, have been drawn. Flamengo, third place last year, was placed in Group A along with Barcelona, ​​PSV, and the Indian national team.

Flamengo's youth coach, Adílio, made, at the request of JORNAL DOS SPORTS, a brief analysis of Group A.

"Barcelona is the strongest club we'll face in this group. We've already faced PSV, and they played very defensively, trying to counterattack. It was very difficult. We only won 1-0. The Indian national team is unknown. It's impossible to know what kind of work they're doing there. It's a tough group like all the others, but we're already working towards this important competition. We're already working full-time," said Adílio, who has all his players ready for the competition, including Erick Flores, who was promoted to the club's first team last week.

Erick Flores is training with the professionals, and we'll see what the club decides. We've included him on our list. We're counting on him," the coach added.

Group A: Barcelona-ESP, PSV-HOL, Flamengo and India Group B: Milan-ITA, Chelsea-ENG, Ajax-HOL and Malaysia Group C: Lyon-FRA, Bayern Munich-GER, River Plate-ARG and Qatar Group D: Manchester United-ENG, Juventus-ITA, Porto-POR and China
