The Brazilian team reaches the knockout stage at a great time, with 100% success after defeating Uruguay 76-66 last Monday (5).
According to winger Léo Meindl, an advantage for Brazil in the competition is to count on the support of the fans, as was the case against the Uruguayans: “The support of the fans was strong and we are sure that we will do better next time. It will serve as motivation, because we know that entering already classified brings a certain tranquility”.
