Palmeiras will start tomorrow (3), against Ceará, a sequence of games with a kind of “dismantling” of the main team. Embarrassed at first by the suspensions, Vanderlei Luxemburg ended up making a good test of the match for the Brazilian Championship in the win against Bolívar (BOL), for the Copa Libertadores.
In addition to Gabriel Verón and Luiz Adriano banned due to physical problems, Luxa made three important changes in the team that thrashed 5-0. The coach eliminated Gabriel Menino, Lucas Lima and Zé Rafael, precisely the three who are suspended for the duel of the 13th day. do Nacional, this Saturday, at 7pm, at Allianz Parque.
With Bruno Henrique, Raphael Veiga and two sprinters in attack, the coach reinforced long before the duel with the Bolivians the need for Palmeiras to be more intense. Wesley and Ron got along with Willian and helped Verdão be more aggressive, contrary to what had happened in recent apathetic introductions.
Faced with this good first test, the tendency is for Luxembourg to repeat the line-up, according to him, with an offensive style, which he likes more. The win at Allianz Parque was Verdão’s highest-scoring match in 2020, and the result built at the start of the second half still meant that the coach could take half the team to rest: Marcos Rocha, Felipe Melo, Gustavo Gómez , Patrick de Paula and Bruno Henrique.
“I like to play like that, but the player has to convince me that he has to play. If he wins and plays, he produces, he will play. If he does not deserve, he will not play. And training also means that you can be Training and behavior are part of a whole ”, explained the coach.
After the match against Ceará, the list of absences will grow. Weverton and Gabriel Menino will present themselves to the Brazilian team for matches from the South American Playoffs to the 2022 World Cup, while Viña and Gustavo Gómez will also join Uruguay and Paraguay, respectively, also through qualification.
They will lose the games against Botafogo and São Paulo, for Brasileirão, and probably against Coritiba. In goal, Jailson is the immediate substitute, while Vitor Hugo and Luan are the options for the defense.
Menino’s replacement is already being sought in the center of the field, and the main headache is on the left side, since Viña’s substitute is Esteves, who is recovering from an injury. Renan, defender and left back of the U-20, has worked with the professionals.
