Abel Ferreira during a game against River Plate for Libertadores
Palmeiras passed the Plate river 2-1 Wednesday (17), for the match of the quarter-finals of Conmebol Libertadores. After the game, the coach Abel Ferreira held a press conference and provided details on the match and the cast.
– We have worked a lot in the last fifteen days. It was a shame for Andreas to go to the national team, but it’s part. Our opponent started the 3-5-2, but we did an excellent first part, we arrived with merit at 2-0. In the second half they changed the scheme, they lost some midfield on the right side, created the superiority and had to suffer, defend themselves a little lower. Their goal proved to be what it was. But we achieved the result we were looking for, “said Abel.
The coach also spoke of hiding new players.
“Of course it’s an important victory, but that’s exactly this.” We still have the second part, which will be at our house. It is true that since the beginning of the year we have reformulated the cast, but we continued to compete on all the fronts: it was so in Paulista, in the World Cup, and we are making a good campaign to Libertadores. It seems easy, but it is not. We have to have these players to sit, because in Palmeiras time and patience are short – analyzed.
– We are working hard, working well and this process of adaptation is fundamental. 16 players came out and 17, counting also on those of the base. Since I’m here, the team has always competed. We will not always win, but we always compete. Now 90 minutes left at our house, “he added.
In addition, the Portuguese spoke of the race and the ball set that passed to the team.
– We have worked a lot in recent times, especially with the new players. We made some changes to team dynamics. I don’t like this specific situation that I don’t like to talk about, because then they end up copying (laughs). He was already doing it in the Braga team B, also for the good of adaptation to the lawn. Here is a carpet, the grass does not get up, there is no hole. Despite the many moves in the cast, the charge is always the same, but things don’t work immediately. We know that Andreas hits the ball very well and had played little in the last club, played in games or two in this season started. It’s a good option, “said the coach.
And finally, Abel Ferreira spoke together of Lucas Evangelista and Andreas Pereira.
– This is my function: choose. I understand the question about who is the holder or booking, but my job is this. People don’t know, but I took eight years to follow my course as a coach: four theory and four practices. And error and hit like everyone else. Even more important, they are ready to help the team. Above all, all of us are the team. The star is the team – over.
Verdon’s next commitment to Libertadores will be at home next Wednesday (24), against River Plate, for the return match of the quarter -finals.
