This Wednesday (17), Palmeiras will have a curious meeting in front of Missol for the Brazilian championship. The opponent of the time will present a well -known face of the Alviverde fan: Carlos Eduardo, a striker who wore the Verdon shirt between 2019 and 2020 and now tries to relive his career on Paulista’s soil. It is worth remembering that this will be the first time that the player will face his former club from his definitive departure.
Carlos Eduardo arrived in Palmeiras with great reinforcement status, after the club paid about $ 23 million to the pyramids, from Egypt, for 80% of his rights. At the time, the intake was seen as promising, because the player had distinguished himself for Goiás in Serie B 2018. Therefore, the advice bet on its speed and potential appreciation.
A goal, many criticisms and a silent way out
With Alviverde Cloak, Carlos Eduardo played 19 games and scored only a goal, right against Sao Paulo, in the Paulist championship 2019. Despite the investment, the attacker was unable to establish himself in the cast led by Felipão. It is interesting to note that irregular performances and criticisms of fans were constant, which culminated in a series of loans in the following years.
In this way, he crossed Athletico-Pri, Red Bull Bragantino, Estoril (Portugal) and even Vitória, where he had passed, 30 games and no marked goals, which generated a strong dissatisfaction between the fans of the Bahians. With this, the link with Palmeiras ended in July 2023.
Trying to start again on Missol
Now, at the age of 28, Carlos Eduardo tries a new recovery in Missol, a club that was surprising with a solid campaign in Serie A. Therefore, this duel on Wednesday earns personal contours for the attacker, who will try to leave a good impression against those who move loudly in his talent and have disappointed.
Therefore, the meeting between Carlos Eduardo and Palmeiras goes beyond 90 minutes. It is a story of failed expectations, again and opportunity. In addition, it is another chapter that shows why football always reserves unexpected and often symbolic meetings. In this way, Allianz Park can be the scene of a new beginning … or another chapter of frustration.
