During Palmeiras’s victory over Grêmio 1-0, Saturday (26), valid for the 17th round of the Brazilian championship, the coach Abel Ferreira starred in an episode that had negatively echoed outside the four lines.
Still on the lawn of Allianz Parque, the Portuguese coach kicked a transmission microphone positioned from the field, a fact that caused the indignation in the press and caused hard reactions to the “Galvão and Friends” program of Banderans TV.
The nephew disappoints the behavior and accusations with respect for the press
Craque Neto, a former player and currently commentator, did not spare any criticism of the Alviverde commander when he commented on Abel Ferreira’s gesture. In its understanding, the act was disrespectful and incompatible with the position that the coach occupies in Brazilian football.
“This guy is a disgusting. This guy is masked, disgusting, unpleasant, but he is a coach hell. But we must both be at the same time. He is disgusting. Make up the Brazilian press. He is an imperceptible boy. He gets five million a month.
It makes violent money and absolutely does not respect anyone. And it is a damned leg. Do not respect the band. Do not respect globe. Do not respect the daughters. Does not respect anyone. Nobody respects. But here it’s cool. It is disgusting. It is non -ethical. This is what I think of him. “
Neto on the “Galvão and Friends” program explodes the attitude of Abel Ferreira to kick a microphone at the end of the game between Palmeiras X Grêmio.
“It is disgusting, the Brazilian press is bad, he is an unpleasant boy.”

Criticism gets a personal tone and recalls previous episodes
Commenting on the episode, Neto compared Abel’s behavior with other Brazilian coaches and questioned the difference in the treatment by the media and fans.
“If it were Luxembourg, who is here, if he had kicked,” we would break “, right? If he had been Felipão,” we would break “, right? This is a child, something as a child, no child does it.”
The former player also criticized the treatment that Abel Ferreira would have given a journalist from the band, citing a previous episode. “He did it to Alinne of the Band News, with a lack of respect for a woman who is incredible what this guy does, this boy is a disgusting, masked, disgusting, unpleasant, but he is a coach hell.”
Contradictory evaluation of technical services
Despite the same criticisms, Neto recognized the competence of Abel Ferreira at Palmeiras’s head. However, he stressed that for him the results cannot justify inappropriate postures.
“But here is beautiful, you know why? Because it wins. The boy who wins in this country is beautiful. He is disgusting, he is not ethical. It is what I think of him, but for me he is the best coach of the last 20 years.”
