Ronaldo avoids talking about turmoil at Corinthians and praises Palmeirense Abel: “I think it’s incredible”

In a notable move through Corinthians, Ronaldo has avoided talking about the turmoil the club has experienced since taking over coach Cuca. On Palmeirense Abel Ferreira, the former centre-forward and current SAF do Cruzeiro coach, has adopted a complimentary tone.




“I’d like to (talk about Corinthians). But, professionally, I feel incapable. I’m a manager and the main shareholder of Cruzeiro. So whatever I say about Corinthians, whether I agree or not… opinion, but not It’s nice, also for all the love I have for Corinthians” Ronaldo told sportv.

After ending the management of Fernando Lázaro, the alvinegro club, defended by the Fenômeno from 2009 to 2011, decided to bring in Cuca. The hiring sparked controversy, as the coach was challenged over his conviction for involvement in a 1987 rape case in Switzerland.

Congratulations to Abel

As Cruzeiro manager, Ronaldo has restored the club to the elite of Brazilian football and will soon have a mission to take on Palmeiras. Under the command of the Portuguese Abel Ferreira, the alviverde team competes in the Brazilian championship as defender of the title.

“He (Abel Ferreira) is very, very good. The way he makes Palmeiras play, the verticality, the aggression. I think it’s incredible,” said Ronaldo, who has signed Pepa, also Portuguese, to command the Cruzeiro after starting from the Uruguayan Paolo Pezzolano.

The two main rivals of São Paulo take the field this Wednesday evening, for the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. At 20:00 (Brasilia time), Corinthians faces Remo, at the Neo Química Arena. At 21:30 Palmeiras face Tombense, at the Parque do Sabiá.
