Flaco calls defeat a "shame", praises Palmeiras' derby response | OneFootball

Palmeiras bounced back from the heavy defeat to Novorizontino and won the derby against São Paulo this Saturday in the Campeonato Paulista, by a score of 3-1. Scorer of a goal and an assist, striker Flaco López spoke of “shame” after the last defeat and praised the team’s reaction in the tournament.

“We were very sad because of the last game, but we turned the page quickly. We were inconsolable, a bit ashamed, but that’s football. We knew we needed to play a great game, and I’m happy with the performance. We have to keep playing games like this; we’re working so Palmeiras can play better every day,” said the player in an interview with HBO Max.

“We have this energy after a year in which we didn’t win any titles. We fought hard, but we left with the feeling that we deserved it. That’s football, we have to keep working and take advantage of the opportunities we’ll have. The fans deserve this,” he added.
