Brazil have won the FIFA U-17 World Cup three times overall but have not done so for the last 14 years since 2003.
"The mood is really happy in the camp but we are not finished. We know we have more things to do and we are clear what to be done (to win this competition)," Amadeu said at the pre-match press conference ahead of the semifinal clash against England here tomorrow.
Brazil rallied from a goal deficit against Germany in their quarterfinal match with strikes from Weverson and Paulinho in front of a 66,000-odd crowd supporting them.
Amadeu said there is little to separate between his side and England.
"Both teams are totally balanced. No team has any advantage. Both can win, we or them. It's a battle between two strong teams with individual players who have really great skills. It will be a great match," he said.
Asked whether his side's defence would be the key against the attacking Young Lions, he said: "We have a set of plans and it's no secret. When we have the ball we attack, when we lose the possession all players go to defend. We try to maintain this balance. We have to be committed to offensive and defensive system. Hope the boys will show good fight tomorrow."
England played all their three Group F matches and also the pre-quarterfinal against Japan here but the Brazil coach said his side too have adjusted to the conditions after playing against Germany here.
The match was originally scheduled to be held in Guwahati but it had to be shifted here at the last minute due to poor ground conditions at the Assam capital.
The Brazilians had faced inconvenience as they had to travel back to Kolkata hours after they landed in Guwahati yesterday. But they are not complaining. Rather they were happy to be back.
"The only thing I can say is that we are really happy to play in the World Cup. Whatever happens, we will adjust. We don't have the power to choose a venue or influence FIFA. We would have liked to play there in Guwahati as well, as the crowd there too was welcoming.
Brazilian defensive midfielder Victor Bobsin will play a key role against England tomorrow and he said he's ready for the challenge.
"I expect a difficult game against England but we cannot have too much respect for our opposition. England are no different. We expect to be strong in defence and expecting to be aggressive too," he said.
