The Palmeirense who breathed a sigh of relief when seeing an evolution in the team against Santos last weekend has returned to worry about what he saw today (29) against Bahia. In a loose game, with very little technical quality, the only thing that was seen on the pitch was the former’s law, with a goal from Zé Rafael. To be even more cruel, the fan celebrated their hard-won victory until the 50th minute of the second half and saw their side suffer a draw after a rare Weverton miss.
After a good victory against Santos on Sunday, the expectation was to see a team maintaining its evolution, even more so against a weaker rival, without the pressure of being classic and with empty stadium stands. After all, what coach wouldn’t want a week off to correct mistakes amid such a tight schedule?
But that was not what was seen. Starting with the squad, without Luiz Adriano, who was saved. In his place, Willian was once again the benchmark, although he has already declared that this is not where he considers him to perform better.
Ron had another bad performance and continues without justifying the possibility of being part of the team. Gabriel Menino shows he has technique, he understands the game, but he can’t keep climbing.
The positive surprise came from Lucas Lima, who was not exactly the expected director, but showed a disposition above what we were used to seeing recently.
Vanderlei Luxembourg then made changes and corrected his own mistakes in the lineup, which worked. Luiz Adriano, Wesley, Ramires, Gustavo Scarpa and Zé Rafael entered. Subsequently, Palmeiras, who until then had hit Bahia’s goal once, evolved and managed to hit the goal four more times, one of them beating the opposing goalkeeper.
Palmeiras began to celebrate the victory that would give them the provisional vice-leadership in the classification. In extra time, Weverton was unhappy as he tried to cut a cross and Bahia tied.
