Narrator and commentator for Grupo Globo, Milton Leite assessed that Vanderlei Luxembourg himself undermined Palmeiras’ performance in the face of a three-game losing streak that culminated in the coach’s dismissal. For the journalist, the statements in which the coach criticized the squad itself shook the players, who began to lose less in recent games.
“The player will not knowingly harm the coach, but psychologically, these statements shake the group. I have no doubt that this team, which played poorly throughout the year, has worsened a lot in recent games also because of the Luxembourgish placements, reaching the point of his dismissal, “said Milton Leite, participating in the SporTV Press Room, today
“When the coach begins to pass the responsibility to the players, pushing the bar a little, there is nothing worse for the squad. He was assaulting the players,” he added.
In Milton Leite’s opinion, despite winning the Paulista Championship after twelve years, Palmeiras led by Vanderlei Luxembourg did not present good football at any time of the year.
“Palmeiras did not play well this year, although they were champions of São Paulo. They beat Paulista with pants in hand against Corinthians, who was in the relegation zone until yesterday. At the press conference, Luxembourg used the Florida Cup as argument. This as an argument, is because it is without others, “he said.
Luxemburg was fired yesterday, just hours after the 3-1 loss to Coritiba at Allianz Parque. With the result, Palmeiras kept seventh place in the Brasileirão, with 22 points.
