The game was very similar to the one on Monday, they started better, their first half was more intense. In the second we ended up having more personality, we put the ball on the ground more, we took more risks. Unlike Monday, we were not effective and efficient in the submissions. Patience, we have one more game. It is a reversible result. We need to do our best, but nothing is lost“, said.

After contributing two assists on Monday, the midfielder found it very difficult to participate in the match, as he was being individually marked by Gabriel Neves. With the lack of creation, Palmeiras only submitted six times and none of them was on target.
