"We can be very happy," said Loch who recognise an improvement from the first match on Thursday against Vasco de Gama (1-3): "It's sensational the way the lads have developed in the past few days. They have put the things we worked on in training into practice 100%."

The lads will take home a lot of new memories on Tuesday. Coach Loch draws a positive conclusion from the nine-day Brazil tour both on and off the pitch: "To play as a team after a few days is something very special. You could see off the pitch that there was harmony from the start and it worked better and better on the pitch." The youth players meet up again in Munich in July. Then there will be a friendly against the FC Bayern U19 team. "In Munich the full focus will be on our attacking game. Perhaps we'll see more goals than," said Loch.
