Abel Ferreira He is happy, of course, with the presentation of a highlight Vitor Roque and Flaco López, who were the protagonists in the Rout of Palmeiras 4-0 on University. This does not mean, however, that the coach will always use the two together as he did this Thursday.

“It was nice to see them both in front of them, he is a young duo with different characteristics. It is another option that I have, but it does not mean that we will always play like this,” said the coach after the great victory that leaves Palmeiras very close to the quarterfinals of Libertadores.

It was the first time that the two attackers were launched together as owners. They had already understood well and commanded the victory of shooting Ceará last Sunday. They had even more shine in Lima, with two goals from the Argentine and one of “Tigrinho”, who also assisted and granted the penalty converted by Gómez who paved the way to triumph.

“My task is to create the dynamics of our team and go looking for the best solutions for each game. It is nice to know that they call well and that they can help when necessary,” he said. “Since I don’t believe in magical formulas and that the training process and the evolution of a team is an unfinished process, it is a solution we have.”

The renewal in progress, with more athletes and arriving and others who leave, has been mentioned again at the coach’s press conference to justify the instability in the season and the evolution margin he sees in the team.

“This year 18 players and 15 came out, some from the base, others for hiring. The work is immense and consistency, knowing that we will have ups and downs. Today it was a perfect game of our part, but another is still missing in our home.”

The Portuguese found “friendly and welcoming” journalists and Peruvian fans “friendly and welcoming. Critical and cursed by fans last week in Allianz Parque, he hit Palmeiress by enhancing the university fans, who applauded the team even when he lost 4-0.

“They were losing 4-0 and the crowd was applauding. Football is passion, it is always nice to see the fans support its players. It was nice to play here with the complete stadium,” he said. “It is not normal for a team to lose 4-0 and receive applause from their fans.”

For the Palmeirense commander, the high investment approaches Palmeiras to the victories and makes it a favorite, but does not guarantee titles. “For the investment we have done, we are the favorites and we must show it on the field.”

Palmeiras returns to play on Sunday, this time for the 20th round of Brazilirão. The opponent will be Botafogo, at 20:30, in Egenhão, in Rio.

The return of the Libertadores round of 16 against the Peruvian rival is scheduled for 21. The team could even afford to preserve the athletes, as it could lose three goals.
