Magic
-It was magical. If you ask the players they will say I used that word. In all honesty, if it was in the second half I couldn’t do anything, we would all die hugging each other… if there wasn’t a break, I couldn’t help them. The third goal was the picture of our team’s lack of inspiration. Thank God it was in the first half and there was time to correct it. I didn’t know if we would win the game. But I told them that we should have won the second half, underlined Abel Ferreira.
Tactical change
-All that was left was for one of the full-backs to break away from the five-man line and hit his full-back. That’s all that was missing, it was the only change I made. In the first half our full-backs were holding on to their wings. What I told you has not been interpreted, so I assume that the responsibility lies with me. I spoke Brazilian Portuguese again, because I think they didn’t understand what I said, but it’s my responsibility, because it’s tactical and the tactics are mine. Honestly, at the end of the first half, the summary I made was: I didn’t help my players with the idea I had, so what we did was correct and we were very specific with what we wanted in the second half, explained the Palmeiras coach.
Unique team
-There is only one team in Brazil capable of doing what we did here today. Whether they like it or not, whether we win titles or not, only one team is capable of playing this type of game. Which is ours! Once again this team demonstrated its mentality and strength. For us it was an important victory, said the Portuguese coach.
The breakthrough brought Palmeiras just three points behind leaders Botafogo, however, the Rio team has a game in hand. In the next round, Verdão will face Atletico on Saturday (04), at 9.30pm (Brasilia time), at the Arena Barueri, for the 32nd matchday of the Brazilian championship.
