Marcos Rocha reveals Palmeiras’ will to guarantee Paulista’s absolute first position

Palmeiras is already qualified for the quarterfinals of the Paulista Championship from the last round. On Sunday, the team regained the lead in group D and overall after beating Ferroviária 2-1 at Allianz Parque. Full-back Marcos Rocha spoke about the goal of consolidating with the best campaign, and to achieve this goal, Alviverde will send his starters onto the field in the last round.

“If we don’t have any kind of problem, we should go as hard as possible to look for the result. We all want to decide at home, on a field we know, together with our fans. We hope to play another great match and bring home the three points” said the player.

Coach Abel Ferreira will have the week off to train for Paulista’s next fixture. Therefore, the team should not have major problems with player attrition. The Portuguese also took advantage of opportunities in the second half to rotate the squad.

Verdão disputes the first position of group D and the best campaign of the State against São Bernardo, opponents of Abel Ferreira’s team in the quarter-finals. The team that finishes the first stage with the best score will have the advantage of deciding the knockout at home.

Palmeiras’ next appointment is only next Sunday, when the team will face Guarani, at 16 (Brasilia time), at the Brinco de Ouro stadium in Campinas. With 27 points, Verdão leads group D, ahead of São Bernardo, who has 26.
