Flamengo chief mocks Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira | OneFootball

Flamengo’s Football Director, José Boto, Responds to Palmeiras Coach’s Comments

Those who say what they want, hear what they don’t want. After losing another title to Flamengo, Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira mocked Mengão’s achievements and said he had never been “a champion with asterisks.” In response to his Portuguese compatriot, Flamengo’s football director José Boto fired back with irony.

“A lot of work, a lot of sacrifice, a lot of resilience, without *,” wrote José Boto on Instagram this Thursday (04), one day after Flamengo secured their ninth Brasileirão championship. The Palmeiras coach was furious after losing the two main titles of the season to Mengão.

– Palmeiras is a different and special club, and above all, I am a coach who values relationships. Only those I want can fool me. Today, there was a play exactly like the one in the Libertadores final (Piquerez’s sending off). The titles I’ve won at Palmeiras have no asterisks. And to the Palmeiras fans, I’ll say this: as your coach, only those I want can fool me — raged Abel at the press conference.

WHY ARE YOU CRYING, ABEL?

The last few days have been painful for Abel Ferreira. On Saturday (29), Palmeiras didn’t have a single shot on goal and saw Danilo secure the fourth Libertadores title for Flamengo. After the match, the Portuguese coach complained bitterly about the lack of a red card for Erick Pulgar, but ignored Raphael Veiga’s harsh tackle on Jorge Carrascal.

Then, on Wednesday (03), Palmeiras even dreamed of staying alive in the final round for the Brazilian title, after beating Atlético-MG 3-0. However, Samuel Lino crushed all hope, gave Flamengo the win over Ceará, and secured the ninth championship.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING ON VACATION, ABEL?

Therefore, without any titles, Abel Ferreira can now plan his end-of-year vacation. Meanwhile, Flamengo is preparing for the Intercontinental Cup, where they will face Cruz Azul (MEX) in Qatar for the Americas Derby. Before that, however, the Rubro-Negro will play out the schedule against Mirassol, on Saturday (06), at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Maião.
