Allan on Libertadores final prep, calls Palmeiras a dream move | OneFootball

Palmeiras is preparing to play the final of the Libertadores against Flamengo this Saturday. The match will take place at 6:00 PM (Brasília time) at Estadio Monumental U, in Lima (PER). Midfielder Allan, who has been a standout in Abel Ferreira's team, shared how he is preparing for his first final with the club and revealed that this opportunity is “the fulfillment of a dream.”

“It’s the fulfillment of a dream to be here, enjoying this very special moment. I think every kid who comes up through the youth system wants to go through this, to enjoy moments like this. I try to stay as calm as possible in these last two days, not to think too much, not to spend too much time on the phone, and also to get some rest and sleep well. It’s difficult, but I try to prepare myself mentally as much as possible so that when the final comes, I can play a good match,” he said.

Abel’s Advice

This will be coach Abel Ferreira’s third Libertadores final. He won the title in 2020 and 2021 with Verdão, defeating Santos and Flamengo. Allan shared the coach’s advice, who has experience in continental finals.

“As Abel said, he’s in his third final with Palmeiras and always tries to give us the best information, so we don’t do anything differently just because it’s the final. Obviously, it’s the most important game of the year, and yes, it requires extra focus and effort, but he tries to keep us calm and maintain what we’ve been doing throughout the season,” he revealed.

Allan praises the support from the fans

Some Palmeiras fans are already in Lima to follow the final. Allan highlighted the fans’ support, who have been celebrating in the streets before the match.

“That’s very important, we really feel their affection, many come all the way from Brazil to support us here. We felt this support at the Club World Cup, and once again here in Lima they’re throwing a beautiful party, they welcomed us at the hotel, and that’s important for us to arrive well, confident for the final, and to be able to give them this joy,” Allan concluded.
