Palmeiras reached another Libertadores semifinal by beating Libertad 3-0 last Tuesday (15). However, much has been said about the easy change Abel Ferreira’s team made, without facing more traditional teams in both the South American tournament and the Brazil Cup. But, for the journalist Breiller Pires, this ‘luck’ is secondary and the performance of the team is the most important.
“You have to assess what Palmeiras did [até agora]regardless of opponents. I think it’s unfair to treat Libertad like a slime. The campaign in the group stage was bad, but Libertad has changed a lot since then, changed the coach, managed to organize the team, playing with a different, more physical and vertical style. Libertad was a boring team in this match. Until the expulsion, yesterday, Palmeiras had difficulties, Libertad wasted opportunities. Delfín, yes, it was a weak team, that Palmeiras had the obligation to pass ”.
The commentator also argued against this culture of valuing only strong opponents in the way of teams.
“I think a lot of energy is spent trying to underestimate the success, the good work of some clubs. It has been happening with Palmeiras, an attempt to belittle the good moment. I keep thinking, is that the Grêmio fans, who in 2017 did not did you face any Libertadores champion, do you think the title was less than that of 95? So it is not fair to belittle Palmeiras because of the rivals. the return, In addition to the numbers, the performance is good, he has played well, he has convinced, the players are increasing in production. If it is against River, I think he is capable of facing on equal terms, of repeating the good performance, because the work has proven to be consistent, “he added.
