With a great advantage in the confrontation, Palmeiras only managed the result against Deportivo Pereira and qualified for Libertadores
O palm trees was tied 0-0 with Deportivo Pereira on the night of last Wednesday, the 30th, at Allianz Parque, and confirmed their place in the Libertadores semifinals for the fourth time in a row. Alviverde already had the advantage in the confrontation by winning the first leg, in Colombia, by 4 to 0. Now, the coach’s team Abel Ferreira will face the Boca Juniors.
Right after the game, the commander of Verdão already projected the semifinal against the Argentines, but he didn’t want to think so much ahead. In the analysis of the tie at zero to zero, Abel Ferreira confessed that the thrashing in the first leg made the team slow down. For him, Deportivo Pereira came to the Brazil no hopes of ranking.
“I think it was a very truncated game, with a lot of duels. Our opponent came to not let us play, and they had nothing to lose. We got their hopes up there, and they came here with nothing to lose. It turned out to be a not very well played game. But we did what we usually do, with the departure with three, now with one more striker in front“, assessed Abel Ferreira.
“What am I going to do until then [jogo contra o Boca] it’s living my life as I do, with intensity, with my players and my family. Sometimes I forget to say that we are all passing through. While the trip lasts, you have to live, as a husband, father and coach. Despite being an intense coach, now less, because I don’t get upset with the referees anymore…“, continued the coach of Palmeiras.
During this path, we will have turbulence. We have to do the best, with the maximum effort. I don’t know if we’re going to win, but since I’ve been here, every year, we’ve been champions and achieved positive things. It is essential for players to know how to deal with these moments of turbulence“.
