Palmeiras beat América-MG, 4-0, this Wednesday, in the 36th round of the Brazilian championship, at Allianz Parque. Due to the absences, including that of coach Abel Ferreira, the team had some changes compared to previous matches and responded well on the pitch.
Assistant Vitor Castanheira, who achieved his first victory in charge of the team, praised the team’s dynamic and came to the defense of Breno Lopes, who wasted a clear scoring opportunity in the second half.
“I won’t talk about system changes because the most important thing for us is the dynamics. The team was aggressive, it pursued what it had to do, which was to look for victory. An expressive victory. And we got the three points, which were fundamental” , he has declared.
Forward Breno Lopes comes from a sequence of nine games as a starter. Tonight, at Allianz Parque, the number 19 was in front of goal following a pass from Endrick, but wasted the opportunity to score. Castanheira came to the player’s defense after the mistake.
“You just look at the mistake. The mistake is very easy to see, but the dedication, the commitment to the team, the running back, no one looks at them. You only look at the player when he has the ball at his feet. It’s easy” For locate the error. Nobody wanted to score more than Breno in that isolated situation, nobody. Have no doubts. There are matches and this happens to all players, “he said.
“The virtues of this team are evident to us. A team that works, that doesn’t give up, does everything, resigns. The work it does is evident. We won’t always win, there isn’t a team that always wins, consecutively, but what what these players do every day can only leave us extremely satisfied”, he continued.
Striker Rony had to leave the pitch at the start of the second half after colliding with the América-MG goalkeeper. In the final stage, Endrick fell onto the grass and left on a stretcher, giving way to Flaco López. Castanheira said he did not know the situation of the two and was waiting for an update on the physical conditions of the athletes.
“I can’t say, let’s wait tomorrow and see what the clinical department will do about Endrick and Rony,” he said.
Palmeiras will return to the field next Sunday, when they face Fluminense, in the 37th round of the Brazilian championship. The ball rolls at 4pm (Brasilia time).
