“Important victory. We are only at the beginning of the championship, but we managed to correct the mistakes and look for another victory. Now we have to work and think about Argentina already,” said Sassá, quoting the scheduled duel at 17:40 (Brasilia time) this Monday right.

“Venezuela played a great collective game, it showed against the United States. They trained for almost a month. But we managed to have an attitude. Despite the mistakes, we never lost our positive attitude and we managed to overcome the challenges of the match. Now it’s time to think about Argentina and look for another victory,” said coach José Neto.

AmeriCupW places in the top two for World Pre-Olympic and another four for Americas Pre-Olympic, one step ahead of World Pre-Olympic. In the last two editions of the tournament, the Brazilian team has won bronze.
