Palmeiras prepare for Grêmio, Vitor Roque targets Libertadores

On Monday morning (24th), Palmeiras held another training session at the Football Academy, continuing their preparation for the match against Grêmio, scheduled for Tuesday (25th) at 9:30 PM at Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre (RS), for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship. Under the guidance of coach Abel Ferreira and his staff, the team participated in tactical activities focusing on positioning, specific movements, and other strategic game details.

In addition to the commitment in the Brasileirão, the Palmeiras squad is also in a state of maximum concentration for the grand final of the CONMEBOL Libertadores on Saturday (29th) at 6 PM (Brasília time) in Lima, Peru, against Flamengo. The team's second top scorer of the season, with 20 goals, forward Vitor Roque projected the duel that could earn Palmeiras their fourth continental championship.

It's the most important game of the year for us and, of course, it's a different preparation, a different concentration, a different focus. We are working hard already thinking about Saturday's game, with a lot of humility and keeping our feet on the ground. I'm sure we will play a brilliant game.

Before the continental final, however, Verdão faces a decisive match in the Brasileirão, where they hold the second place, four points behind the leader. Vitor Roque emphasized the importance of the match against Grêmio.

Before the final, there's also a very important game against Grêmio, and we will try to achieve a positive result at their home. We know the Brazilian Championship is a bit distant, but we need to focus and work. Then we have a very important game, which is the Libertadores final, a dream for us, and, God willing, we will win this title, which will be a pride for us.

On Sunday (23rd), the Palmeiras fans showed up in large numbers at the entrance of the Football Academy, bringing chants, flags, and green smoke to support the team. This demonstration of affection moved Vitor Roque, who highlighted the connection with the fans.

The support of every fan is very important to us. I quickly identified with the fans, from the first minute they always supported me, supported the group, so we work to, God willing, win this title for us and for them as well.
