Starters' entry and first half

-Sometimes it seems like we play alone, right? It seems like the opponent doesn't even count. We live in a country that I like – Brazil, São Paulo, Palmeiras –, but the culture of 'winning at all costs' is not true, neither here nor anywhere in the world. In the first half, we faced a team that wouldn't let us in, that took away the spaces from Sosa, Facundo, and Veiga. The strategy at halftime was to try to surprise the opponent with arrivals in the area and shots. It worked well, but it doesn't always work. – he said.

And now?

Palmeiras returns to the field next Wednesday (24) in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Conmebol Libertadores. Verdão won the first match 2 to 1, in Argentina.
