Anyway, Ron’s first goal in the Palmeiras jersey came true. Last Wednesday, the striker was in charge of closing the scoring of the 5-0 victory against Bolívar, at Allianz Parque, which guaranteed Verdão qualification for the Libertadores round of 16.
The fall in the offensive production of the Alviverde team, especially in Brasileirão, made the striker one of the biggest targets of criticism from a large part of the fans and also from the press. Now, however, the expectation in the club is that the collection decreases.
– Very important (attack performance) due to the fact that the charge was coming, mainly on Ron. For the position he is playing at Palmeiras, that the attack was charging to score few goals. Today we enjoyed a good football, we put intensity on top of the rival and we managed to come out with the result and the classification – said Wesley, who at the head of the Bolivian team also scored for the first time this season.

Ron was the main signing of Palmeiras in 2020. He did not pack a sequence of good performances, especially in the second part of the season, but he was even important in the campaign that qualified the Alviverde team for the Libertadores round of 16 with a advance round.
Before the goal against Bolívar, the forward had given three assists in matches valid for the South American competition. In La Paz, he even left the field chosen by Conmebol as the protagonist of the game, a fact that Vanderlei Luxemburg also highlighted.
– You have to be calm. You have to give him the opportunity as Ron was given in Bolivia and as he was given today (Wednesday) to show his face, recover and score a goal. People do not follow the day to day and get paid because they think it should be like that, but they don’t know how things happen – the technician evaluated.

Without being able to count on Gabriel Veron and Luiz Adriano, vetoed by the Verdão Health and Performance Center, Luxa promoted Ron’s return to the starting eleven. Along with Willian and Wesley, he performed well, especially when the team explored speed from the right side.
If the couple does not recover, Rony has the possibility of remaining in the starting lineup on Saturday, when Palmeiras hosts Ceará at Allianz Parque, for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.
