Felipe Anderson highlights team spirit at Palmeiras, eyes Brasileiro run-in | OneFootball

After the 2-0 victory over Juventude last Sunday at Alfredo Jaconi, Felipe Anderson highlighted the importance of collective work at Palmeiras, the confidence of the squad, and looked ahead to the final stretch of the Brasileirão.

The midfielder, who scored the second goal for Palmeiras, emphasized that all players are capable of being starters and that healthy competition within the group is fundamental to maintaining performance in all competitions.

“Everyone works very hard, puts their foot in even during training. Our goal is also the players’ dream: to win titles. After an epic comeback, with both mental and physical exhaustion, there was no other option but to field an alternative team. But all the players are capable of being starters and they proved it on the field today,” said Felipe Anderson.

The number 7 also commented on the natural pressure of the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship and the direct battle with Flamengo. According to him, the focus needs to remain on their own matches, regardless of the competitors’ results.

“In the final stretch, the difference is knowing how to handle the pressure and only looking at ourselves. We have a minimal advantage of one point, so we need to do our part. We can’t let the opponent’s result change our mindset. It’s difficult, but a team that fights for titles needs to concentrate on its own game,” he added.

With the victory, Palmeiras reached 65 points, reclaiming the lead in the league, one point ahead of Flamengo. Verdão returns to the pitch on Thursday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), when they host Santos at Allianz Parque for the 32nd round of the competition.
