Verdão shirt 2 took over the captaincy after Gustavo Gómez’s injury
If they win the Paulistão 2024 against Santos, this Sunday (7), at Allianz Parque, Palmeiras fans could see an unusual scene when the team lifts the trophy.
This is because with Gustavo Gómez’s injury, full-back/defender Marcos Rocha has been Verdão’s captain for a good part of the season and should start this Sunday against Peixe, and if Palmeiras wins, they could win São Paulo’s third championship .
Much criticized by fans for his performance in Vila, the number 2 shirt is the team’s assist leader in 2024, with five passes on goal and enjoys the trust of Abel Ferreira.
At Palmeiras since 2018, Marcos Rocha could become this Sunday the player with the most titles in the club’s history, together with Dudu, Ademir da Guia, Junqueira, Weverton, Mayke and Gustavo Gómez.
If he lifts the trophy, Rocha will also lift a trophy as captain for the first time in his more than six years at Palmeiras.
With just one more year left on his contract with Verdão, the number 2 has the challenge of proving to the management and Abel Ferreira that he can continue to wear the Alviverde shirt for another season.
The ball will arrive in Palmeiras and Santos this Sunday (7), at Allianz Parque, starting at 6pm (Brasilia time) and the final will be broadcast on Rede Record, Cazé TV, TNT/HBO Max and Paulistão Play.
