“Brazil is a country very similar to India incontext to space and the climate, however Football is the most famous sport that is played from a very young age”, said Brazilian Head Coach Carlus Amadeu in an exclusive interview with www.the-aiff.com.

“Player have to improvise all the time using skills and tricks in small spaces and hence ‘ginga’ is developed in them from a very young age”

“Football in Brazil is like ‘samba’, like the carnival, everyone wants to play, everyone wants to be a part of it”

One might think that with a history of top quality Players coming from the Brazilian age-group Teams, the Youth Players might be under pressure to perform in every single match. Amadeu thinks otherwise.

“It is important to have famous Players like icons so the youth Players can look at them and aspire to be like them”

“Brazil has a history of producing top quality, so our main job is to make the Youth Players remember the history of Brazilian Football and help them to focus on the footsteps of these top Players”

“There is no pressure and that is exactly what the ‘ginga’ is about. No pressure!”
