Vitor Roque and Flaco López fire up Palmeiras attack after Abel’s switch | OneFootball

Palmeiras is experiencing a new offensive phase since Abel Ferreira decided to adjust the team’s formation and bet on the duo formed by Vitor Roque and Flaco López. The change, which aimed to bring more mobility and aggressiveness to the attack, is already showing impressive results: in the last few matches, Verdão has scored ten goals, with the duo directly involved in seven of them.

Flaco López has regained his confidence and is once again decisive, making the most of his presence in the box to finish efficiently. Vitor Roque, meanwhile, quickly adapted to the team’s style, offering speed, intensity in pressing, and playmaking ability, whether finishing or providing assists.

The partnership between the two forwards is reminiscent of the early days when Abel Ferreira used Luiz Adriano and Rony together at the start of his tenure. The difference now is that Palmeiras has two players in rising form with complementary characteristics: while Flaco attacks the spaces inside the box, Roque moves around to get involved in play and open up paths for his partner.

With the fans already nicknaming the pair “Bebeto and Romário,” the expectation is that this chemistry will continue to grow. As the season enters its final stretch, the new attacking duo emerges as one of the best pieces of news for Palmeiras supporters, who are seeing the attack regain its shine in great style.
