Reinforcement policy is something discussed between directors and coaching staff, which shows the maturity of a club that doesn’t need to do “crazy things” to appear
The transfer season is one of the most anticipated by fans, but for those who support Palmeiras, this window has been a great lull. No reinforcements so far, the club has bet on young players from the grassroots who are turning professional. Despite the complaints of a part of the Alviverde fans and the criticisms of the press, Verdão shows conviction in its plan to look to the future and not seek media results at any cost as other teams do.
First of all, we need to understand that real life is not a video game, so that fan who thinks that just pressing two buttons to close a contract needs an urgent reality bath. Just like those who think that the 400 million reais from the sale of Endrick will allow the club to immediately make galactic purchases through PIX. Wake up, forget Fifa/PES.
Another regrettable matter of these thoughts is to exclude the participation of the technical commission of Abel Ferreira from this equation. Does anyone believe that the Portuguese coach is out of these decisions? No, he isn’t. And he made it clear in several press conferences in 2022: the club would no longer make signings and might not even make one. The goal would be to invest in grassroots talent.
Although it is possible to recognize that the team lacks spare parts for some assignments, mainly to make up for the departure of Gustavo Scarpa, it is not possible to assume that the current condition is scorched earth. The team remains very strong and led by the best coach in Brazilian football in the last two or three seasons. Isn’t it worth the bet?
Furthermore, it must be understood that getting here is a club project, long before Leila Pereira entered Palmeiras as a sponsor and in the political life. Paulo Nobre, back in 2013, already wanted to structure the base to transform it into the main source of “reinforcements” for the professional team. After ten years, it seems that Verdão has reached that desired level.
The titles have come, the money with prizes has increased year by year, the main team base has been in place for a few seasons, and the coaching staff is of the highest quality. Perfect scenario for the excellence of the Palmeiras base to be used in the way Paulo Nobre intended. There are cups won, athletes trained in droves, sales made and a level of pieces on offer which allows the club to choose to promote a Jhon Jhon, rather than paying someone less qualified on the market, but who has a “bigger” name than the boy. .
Currently, Palmeiras have two reasons for investing their fortune in signings: a transfer opportunity for an undisputed player arriving to play, or strengthening the squad for media purposes, doing one thing or another to mediate with the fans . For all that has happened in recent years, it is quite clear that Verdão do not need to repeat the formula of certain rivals. The option is to hire if it’s really worth it, otherwise it’s a basic option.
While protecting themselves from these complaints and criticisms about the reinforcements that haven’t arrived, Palmeiras continues its pre-season with an eye to the debut for Paulistão-2023. The first match will be on January 14, at 20:30, at the Allianz Parque, against São Bento. In the next few days, at the Football Academy. the club will have some training matches to prepare for the start of the tournaments.
