But it has been proven that counting on the Costa Ricans is not a good idea. The owners of the youngest squad in the United States 2024 and in the process of renewal, used the ultra-defensive formula of their technical director, the Argentine Gustavo Alfaro, to ruin Brazil’s debut.

Costa Rica for another surprise
The Costa Rican mission to neutralize Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Endrick on June 24 in Inglewood, California, United States, was successful, especially due to superlative performances by little-known names: goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira, who plays in the Spanish third division, and the promising defender Jeyland Mitchell, from Alajuelense.
But Lorenzo’s Colombia has more filming than Brazilian coach Dorival Júnior’s “Canarinha”, which is currently under construction.

The strategy of defending the zero at all costs and coming out alive can hardly be successful again, acknowledged Alfaro, who knows that he needs to play with his more advanced lines and oil his attack to try to hurt the Colombians.
“We have to focus more on the offensive part because line by line we are good,” defensive midfielder Jefferson Brenes said.
Without the men who put them on the international radar, Costa Rica needs to add points to reach the final day, in which they will face Paraguay, with a good chance of advancing to the quarterfinals in their sixth Copa América, the first since 2016.
“I told the players: ‘If you can’t win, draw, because this is by adding points,’” Alfaro said.
Brazilians and Paraguayans will close the second date of Group D this Friday at 6 pm in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
