The journalist spoke after the elimination against Botafogo in the Libertadores
Palmeiras was eliminated from the Libertadores after drawing with Botafogo last Wednesday (22), at the Allianz Parque. After the match, on a YouTube channel, journalist Felippe Facincani criticized coach Abel Ferreira and did not forgive full-back Marcos Rocha.
– What catches my attention is the way Abel has managed meritocracy in the Palmeiras team. And when you manage this based on gratitude, at a certain point gratitude will lose ground in favor of technical, tactical and physical quality. When the team needs a bit of verve, some surprises, the same ones always come on the pitch, the same ones who shouldn’t be there anymore – Facincani began.
– Marcos Rocha is a full-back who is non-existent in support and creation, whose play is the spectacular full-back in the area. It is a move he has been making since 2011, when he was not even known at Atlético-MG. It is 2024 and he still thinks it will work, he thinks no one knows he will launch into the area. And defensively it is also tragic – he added.
Botafogo won the first match against Palmeiras at Nilton Santos by 2-1. In the return match, at Allianz Parque, the score ended with a 2-2 draw and Alvinegro advanced to the quarterfinals. Eliminated, Alviverde now focuses only on the Brazilian championship.
