We ended up conceding three goals, and this goal here will give us a boost. It’s one less, their advantage is less. We have confidence in our team, nothing is lost, Palmeiras is a very big team and we have shown other times what we can do. I have a lot of confidence in my team“, he stated.
Raphael Veiga made a quick analysis of the game between Palmeiras and São Paulo in the Campeonato Paulista and highlighted that the penalty scored for the rivals contributed to the defeat: “Our team started well, creating chances, we had the opportunity to do it and we didn’t. The penalty ended up changing the story of the game a little, they grew a little more in the game. There’s another game, in our house, different atmosphere. We have everything to play a great game and emerge champions“.

The midfielder, who scored Verdão’s only goal in the match, guaranteed that the players will honor the shirt in the return game and highlighted that the squad will do everything to win the Campeonato Paulista.
“What we do on the pitch, our intensity, the way we compete, even if that goal hadn’t been scored, it would have been difficult for them. We set a great pace. With this goal I scored, it will give more gas. The motivation remains the same, we got used to winning and we want to win, we will do everything. Who plays for Palmeiras never gives up“, followed.

Palmeiras always imposes a strong rhythm, puts a lot of pressure at home. That’s it, scoring the goals that we didn’t score at the beginning of the game because there, for sure, the story will be different“, he added.
