The coach also spoke about Estevão’s good moment and Palmeiras’ next match
Shortly after the 2-0 win over Cuiabá, away from home, Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira held a press conference at the Arena Pantanal and praised the team’s attitude during the 90 minutes. With goals from the boys Lázaro and Estevão, Alviverde rose to sixth place in the Brazilian championship.
“I think we played a mature, intelligent match, against an opponent who needed to win. There was a change of coach and they wanted to show him desire, quality. We played a good match, with patience. Today we faced two opponents, Cuiabá and the heat, which we are not used to with these temperatures, I think it was a fair victory,” Abel said.
‘Beautiful gesture’, celebrates Abel Ferreira
After Estevão’s goal, which sealed Palmeiras’ victory, all the athletes on the bench went to celebrate with the 17-year-old.
“As in other moments, I think it is a moment that reflects the spirit of this team, which really wants to win, score goals, but leaves its ego at home to serve Palmeiras. It was a beautiful gesture and reflects the spirit of this team,” he praised .
With the victory Palmeiras rises to eight points, in sixth place. But the people of Cuiaba are doing very badly. After all, with four defeats, the team is in last place and is the only one who has not yet scored. Therefore, they have the worst attack (no goals) and the second worst defense (they have conceded nine goals).
Palmeiras returns to the field next Thursday (9/5), to face Liverpool, in Uruguay, in the fourth round of the Copa Libertadores group stage. Abel Ferreira’s team leads Group F, with seven points. In the interview, the Portuguese commented on this difficult comparison.
– We will have to analyze the opponent, we have some tactical nuances to attack, also to defend. We have already played against them (Liverpool) and we will analyze it. I would be lying if I said I thought about it, I was focused on Cuiabá, I haven’t prepared them yet, but the dedication is the same.
