Abel Ferreira liked the position of Palmeiras in his debut, when he won the Red Bull Bragantino, today (5), at Allianz Parque. The result confirmed the team’s classification in the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup and was obtained, according to the coach, by the seriousness with which the squad faced the duel.
“We were competent and we took the tie seriously, although I had 3 to 1 in favor. Football gives surprises if you make it easy, I liked the union, the attitude. We wanted to continue fighting for all competitions. It’s about recovering and thinking in the next competition and we are going to fight for everyone with the same desire and ambition. That is what they demand and what we are going to do on the field, “he said.
With only two training sessions, Abel preferred to keep a large part of what Andrey Lopes had been doing; the line-up, for example, was the same as the victory against Atlético-MG. During the exchanges of the second half, it should be noted that the commander gave Ramires and Danilo minutes, while Patrick de Paula did not leave the bench. He justified after the game.
“I don’t look at age, I look at quality, commitment, will in training to want to play. Felipe Melo is doing very well, he doesn’t provide one, Danilo also trains a lot, because he wants to have a chance. Paula has to demonstrate in the training she also wants, and there is only one way to convince the coach: in training, all my decisions have a clear intention: the best for the team, not for Patrick or Felipe. I make my decisions, “he warned.
Patrick de Paula lost his place in the starting lineup during interim Andrey Lopes’ transition, initially to Danilo, but when he was called up for the Brazilian under-20 team, Felipe Melo advanced to midfield. The number 30 jersey made the third consecutive game in its original position.
Again without much time to work, Abel and Palmeiras return to play on Sunday (8), when they visit Vasco, at 4:00 pm, in São Januário. The duel is valid for the first round of the Brazilian Championship, which has just been postponed for this week.
