Felipe Anderson has finally found his good form at Palmeiras. The midfielder, who faced a lot of criticism since his arrival at the club in the middle of last year, has now claimed a starting position and is standing out.

The number 7 has been an important piece in the creation of Abel Ferreira's team. With the attacking duo Vitor Roque and Flaco López, Felipe has been playing as a left midfielder and has contributed to goals in three of the last seven games – two assists and one goal.

With two center forwards, the number 7 has taken on a more creative role, centralizing the plays and leaving space for the fullback. Even playing on the left, a role he took in 2024 and was not appreciated, the player has been having good moments.

The player, who arrived in the mid-2024 transfer window, took a while to adapt to Abel Ferreira's team. Now, this season, he is showing a more consistent football and, consequently, pleasing the green and white fans and the technical commission. Recently, João Martins praised the player in a press conference.

– Felipe Anderson is an excellent professional, he has had some problems in managing the physical part since he arrived. He had no rest, no days off, he had to fight with the pains and we are managing to evolve him little by little. It's normal when the player has no pains and gets on the field he can (play better) – highlighted assistant João Martins.

Felipe Anderson has played 57 matches for Palmeiras, with three goals and five assists. He arrived at the club at no cost after not renewing his contract with Lazio, from Italy.
