Abel regrets defeat in embezzlement, injury and expulsion in Palmeiras: “We didn’t deserve it” | palms

The Portuguese coach cited the problems that occurred to enhance the performance of the athletes, who acted more with one less man after the expulsion of side Mayke in the first half.

– We were unhappy with all the incidents. We did not deserve to be sanctioned. It’s soccer. We have to accept and move on. (…) I have nothing to say to my players: they tried to do their best in the face of all setbacks. We were penalized by the circumstances – declared the technician.

– There were many incidents in the game today, we controlled some and some we did not. Soccer has random factors. We started the game very well, we had a chance with 10 seconds. Unfortunately, we had Luiz Adriano injured and then Mayke sent off, but the team ended up readjusting and with one less player he had been smart – he added.

In the coach’s opinion, Palmeiras deserved better luck in the match.

– The opponent did not create an opportunity outside of the goal he scored. It was a great goal. We had our chances. Honestly, it was a “penalizing” result for us. We were not always going to win, one day it would happen – he lamented.

Even with one less, Palmeiras had the opportunity to emerge victorious from the Serrinha stadium in extra time, when Patrick de Paula received from Renan inside the area, with a chance to finish. While trying to dribble, the midfielder lost the ball and saw Goiás score the winning goal practically on the next play, with Miguel Figueira.

Abel Ferreira, who stopped Patrick de Paula in the first games, did not condemn the player for the plays at the end of the duel; the midfielder still gave Figueira the freedom to risk from a distance and overtake Weverton. Shirt 5 received praise from the Portuguese coach.

– He is a player who has done well. Today he played a very good game, technically, tactically and physically. There were many changes in a short time. We were solving many problems. We have to continue solving because they are there, but we will continue to do the best we can – finished the coach, who lost his dominance undefeated at Palmeiras, after four wins and a draw.
