Abel Ferreira makes a good balance of the workforce, but Palmeiras maintains analysis of the reinforcement market | palms

The Palma directive is evaluating options to strengthen the squad since the time when the team was led by Vanderlei Luxemburg. The financial crisis and the options available were always some of the difficulties that Verdão encountered. Even so, on Wednesday the club announced the arrival of Chilean defender Benjamin Kuscevic.

– The first thing we have to do is look inside the club and see if there is someone here who can meet this requirement. We don’t need to look for young people, because here we have. If not, we will look for it. But I made my diagnosis. There is no need to waste time, we have good players. We have young people. I already gave this diagnosis to our director. And it will always be in this line: look inside the club. If not, we look outside – said Abel Ferreira.

– You don’t have to move a lot, we’re fine, we have a very good base. But we have Viña with 17 games in a row. Is the best. We will lose some selections. We will have to find solutions. We are in all competitions on the merits of those who worked before me. All our decisions will be to improve Palmeiras and our squad – added the Portuguese.

President Maurício Galiotte does not rule out a contract. In 2020, Verdão hit the mark with just two reinforcements, left-back Matías Viña and striker Rony, in a new policy of seeking specific options for Palmeiras.

As Abel Ferreira quoted at a press conference, the left back was already a concern for Palmeirenses. After the departures of Diogo Barbosa, sold to Grêmio, and Víctor Luis, loaned to Botafogo, Verdão became dependent solely on Lucas Esteves and Renan as options for the position of Matías Viña.

Esteves made his season debut against São Paulo, but did not do well and suffered a new muscle injury. Renan was used as a defender, and Mayke and even Gustavo Scarpa improvised in the sector.

On the other hand, on the right, Verdão tried unsuccessfully to sign Colombian Daniel Muñoz, former Atlético Nacional, and Argentine Marcelo Herrera, from San Lorenzo. In defense, the sale of Vitor Hugo to Trabzonspor, from Turkey, made the club evaluate options, such as defender Cacá, from Cruzeiro.

In addition to financial constraints, time also plays against Palmeiras. That is because the transfer window for athletes from abroad closes next Monday, November 9. In the domestic market, CBF allows the registration of new players for the Brasileirão dispute until November 20.

At the club there is praise for coach Abel Ferreira and the new professionals hired by the club with young players. The Portuguese showed knowledge about the athletes he started working with last Tuesday, also defending the most experienced players in the squad.

– The club made a great reform in the team, we have players constantly coming from the base, we have Renan and Gabriel Silva training with us, but the team has base players who already train with us, like Veron, Wesley is in his first-year team, Danilo, Patrick, Vinicius, Gabriel Menino, who are for the first time in the Brazilian Championship. I saw a boy named Felipe Melo do 10 kilometers in the game with intensity. That pleases. See Luiz Adriano recover balls in our area. That’s why we win the game, the youngest and the oldest. The team is fine – evaluated the coach.
