Palmeiras take the field this Tuesday (05) to face Sporting Cristal (PER) in the fourth round of Group F of the Copa Libertadores. With that in mind, Felipe Vizeu, a former Flamengo player who now plays for the Peruvian side, spoke about the plans to come away with the win.

— First of all, we have to match them in the air. Palmeiras are a very strong team in aerial play, set pieces, corners, and free kicks. We need to stay alert at all times, be twice as focused and determined. If you look at most Palmeiras matches, you see goals from set pieces and corners, with the center backs always scoring a lot of goals —, he began.

— Palmeiras’ two starting center backs are among the team’s top ten scorers, both Murilo and [Gustavo] Gómez. We’re talking about the center-back pairing from the same team. Not only that, but in combination play and on the counterattack they are also very quick and very strong, which is a characteristic of Abel’s style, also a physical game. The way forward is for us to match that and not give them any openings on those set pieces —, concluded Felipe Vizeu.
