Abel hails Palmeiras' fight, admits: "We're not at our best" | OneFootball

Palmeiras has gone three games without a win in the Brazilian Championship. Last Wednesday, they only managed a goalless draw with Vitória, but thanks to Flamengo's defeat, they were still able to reduce the gap to the top of the table. Coach Abel Ferreira praised Verdão's fight for the two remaining titles, but admitted the team is not in a good moment.

“When you win, the credit goes to everyone; when you lose, the responsibility falls on the coach. But inside, we know that when we win, we all win, and when we lose, we all lose. The responsibility is everyone's. I don't know what will happen from now until the end,” he said.

“I know we've been ahead in the championship, we're fighting for the title, and in four years we've won two Libertadores, exited in the quarterfinals once, the semifinals another time, and we're there again. Everyone looks at things from their own perspective. I don't know what will happen. In the end, I'll make an assessment. To say we're doing well? No. We're not doing well and we're getting players back from the national team. We'll get ready,” he continued.

Verdão lost the lead last Saturday after losing to Santos and Flamengo beating Sport. The team led by coach Abel Ferreira is now looking to get back to winning ways in their next match against Fluminense, their last at Allianz Parque this season.

After that, Verdão has just one more game against Grêmio before heading to Peru for the Libertadores final against Flamengo. The continental decider will be on November 29, at the Estadio Monumental U, in Lima.
