Carlos Miguel: Defeat a lesson, Palmeiras still eye Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Palmeiras was defeated by Santos 1-0 on Saturday night at Vila Belmiro, losing the lead in the Brazilian Championship. After the match, Palmeiras' goalkeeper Carlos Miguel considered the duel a learning experience and reinforced the team's confidence in winning their 13th title.

“There's a lot to take from this game; it's a learning experience. We know our focus, we know our commitment. To get ahead, we have to fight, and that's what we're going to do: keep our feet on the ground and work hard. We have the championship ahead of us, and we will continue strong and determined, always moving forward,” he stated in an interview with Premiere.

As a result, Palmeiras saw Flamengo take the lead by thrashing Sport 5-1 earlier. The Alviverde is now in second place, with 68 points, three less than the Rubro-Negro.

When asked about his individual moment, Carlos Miguel was straightforward in pointing out his priority: “I feel very good, but the individuality of the game doesn't work for me. I always want to win,” he concluded.

Verdão returns to the field next Wednesday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) when they host Vitória at Allianz Parque for the 34th round of the national tournament.
