Abel talks about Palmeiras’ goalkeepers

After Verdão’s debut in the Paulistão last Saturday (10), coach Abel Ferreira spoke about the situation of goalkeepers Carlos Miguel, Weverton, and Marcelo Lomba.

– Weverton has a contract, he is a Palmeiras player, he has won titles with me and is the greatest goalkeeper in Palmeiras’ history, whether people like it or not. He knows what we did with Rocha, we renewed four, five times, after he showed performance. He knows what I expect from him. My preference is to have two players for each position at the same level, and then choose. It’s a position I am very happy with. I have Weverton, Carlos, and Lomba – he said.

NOSSO PALESTRA reported that coach Abel Ferreira is planning a rotation in the goalkeeper position throughout the year. The Palmeiras manager’s idea is to alternate, mainly the first two, in all competitions the club will play in the season, something common in European football clubs.
