Looking Ahead

Next, Khellven spoke about Palmeiras’ upcoming run of matches in the coming days. Verdão debuts in the Brasileirão this Wednesday against Atlético-MG, at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena MRV. 

“In football, you have to prove yourself every day. Sometimes we lose a match and the next day we’re already motivated to train well, improve on the points where we didn’t do so well, and get better for the next game. Our team is very resilient, we push ourselves a lot in this regard. That’s it, we keep working, stay focused, try to improve individually in our own characteristics, and always seek the best for Palmeiras. Now we’ll face Atlético-MG in the league and we’re going after the three points,” he concluded.
