Palmeiras thrive under pressure for a shot at a winning year | OneFootball

Flaco López and Vitor Roque have started together for six matches, and Palmeiras has remained unbeaten during this period. There have been four wins and two draws. In the previous round, Flaco came off the bench and, alongside the number 9, helped secure a comeback victory against Ceará.

This positive streak comes at a time of squad changes, precisely after being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil. The team is gaining strength at a crucial moment in the season, with decisive clashes in the Brasileirão and the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.

Just as it happened in 2023, Palmeiras is growing after a period of pain, when they were eliminated in the semifinals of the continental competition. On that occasion, the turnaround came when the Crias da Academia became the protagonists.

Endrick took responsibility and led the squad to a second consecutive championship when everything seemed lost. Now, once again, a young forward is stepping up. Vitor Roque has benefited from the changes made by Abel Ferreira. Flaco López ended the isolation of the number 9, and the goals started coming. Of the ten goals scored by Verdão, six came with the Argentine by his side.

The pain of elimination by their rival could turn into joy at the end of the year. Palmeiras fans have seen this story before, and not too long ago.
