Scorer of two goals, Rony was Palmeiras’ highlight of the match
Coach Abel Ferreira, in a post-match press conference, praised the posture of Palmeiras in the 3-1 victory over Coritiba, this Sunday (04), for the Brazilian championship. According to the captain, ‘it’s matches like this that test the character of the team’. Verdão played fearlessly against the Brasileirão bottom, approaching league leaders Botafogo.
– It’s matches like this that test the character and seriousness of our team. It was an essential game to be serious and play it simple. Sometimes there is a tendency to ease against teams where Palmeiras are clearly superior,” Abel said.
When asked about the discussion with referee Felipe Lima at the start of the match, the Palmeiras coach commented on his relationship with the Brazilian referee, the cards he has recently received and the fact that people ‘like to have Abel in their mouths’ ‘
– I notice that there are many people who like to have Abel in their mouth. In the last game, the same commentators were always with Abel in their mouths, because I got I don’t know how many yellow cards, I don’t know what… I don’t know. Honestly, there’s one thing you need to understand: I’m an intense four-line coach. This won’t change, when it does I’ll stop being a coach-he concluded.
With the win, Palmeiras reached 19 points in the Brasileirão, two behind leaders Botafogo. Verdão is back on the field next Wednesday (07) to face Barcelona (Ecuador), at 21:30, at the Allianz Parque, in a match valid for the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage.
