player credits

-It was the first time I saw a Spanish coach scoring individually across the pitch, to tell the truth, my players found their way to goal by themselves, the coach had no responsibility. That’s what I like most about this team, it’s the character, the men I have in front of me are the same ones who lost three days ago. It’s a great pride to be the coach of these players-, praised coach Abel Ferreira.

coach options

-The coach’s role is to find solutions, of course there are coaches who arrive at clubs and want to change all the players there and send five or six more, in my opinion it’s easier to be a coach. The hardest thing about being a manager is looking at problems and finding solutions, that’s what I’ve been doing since I arrived at the club. Not only finding solutions to problems, but enhancing the players we have, betting on younger players and looking for players with this quality, which also helps our group, which is why we hired Artur. We know the limits we have in certain contexts and the most impressive thing is

that, that every warrior who falls another gets up again-, said the Portuguese coach.

Criticism of journalists

-Every time a game ends, I head towards the tunnel since I arrived here at Palmeiras, mind you. For those who do superficial journalism, I always do the same thing. I stretch my opponent sometimes in the beginning, but I always walk away in the end. That was the first introduction I wanted to make to that superficial journalism. In order not to create confusion where there isn’t one because I have great admiration and respect for Luis Castro, we also spoke after the game, so don’t create controversy where there aren’t any -, criticized the Verdão commander.

Palmeiras will take the field next Sunday (02), against Athletico, at the Arena da Baixada, for the 13th round of the Brazilian championship. After two consecutive defeats, Verdão needs victory to get back on track in domestic competition.
