Coach Abel Ferreira held a press conference after Palmeiras’ 1-0 defeat against Fluminense, at Allianz Parque, in the last round of the Brazilian championship. Verdão finished their season with second place.
Abel congratulated the Botafogo team for the season, complained a lot about the attitude of his players in the defeat against Fluminense and commented on Palmeiras’ program for next season.
Congratulations to the champion:
-I would like my words to go to Textor (owner of Botafogo), to congratulate him on the beautiful countryside. To my compatriot Arthur Jorge, who was magnificent. Congratulations also to their captain. They were magnificent, said Abel Ferreira at the opening of the press conference.
Team posture:
The coach addressed the issue twice.
-Today we don’t argue. We deserve all the criticism. We were the shadow of our team. Today everyone can criticize, because the soul was missing. When the soul is missing, we must speak. Not even last year was all right and not even this year was all bad. Do you know who won the Libertadores last year? Influence, and came to fight against relegation. Atlético-MG were finalists in the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. Nobody will teach me that Brazilian football is competitive. I’ve been here for four years. When a team is better than Palmeiras, as Botafogo was, all I have to do is come here and congratulate them, the coach said.
-I am proud of this team. Less today. Today I’m sad. I’m sad about what the players did today, I didn’t expect it,” Abel said in response to another question.
Planning for 2025:
-We will do some renovations, four or five will go out and four or five will come in. Sometimes cycles end, sometimes you need to sell. We do it every year. 2025 will be no different. I never accepted it because last year we won and everything is fine, and the players we can’t trade, we buy them. Even next year I don’t know if I will have the players I want in 2025, but we will continue to work.
