Leal's Futsal Foundations Driving Brazil's U-17 World Cup Bid
World Cup Indonesia: As Brazil prepare to make their bow at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023 on Saturday, another member of their camp who drew inspiration from the futsal courts will be hoping to make his mark. Phelipe Leal the 36-year-old tactician has laid down meticulous plans to try and get the most out of his squad, taking lessons from futsal.
What Leal has gained from the five-a-side sport is not only training methods, but above all else the experience of cultivating essential relationships to train young footballers, with and without the ball.
“People know that in Brazil everything starts with futsal,” Leal told FIFA. “Like street football in the past, it’s extremely important for the player’s overall development, not only the technical side, but personal relationships too.
