Luisão hits out at ex-Sporting star for disrespecting Brasileirão | OneFootball

Luisão did not like Abel Ferreira’s attitude, who decided to throw in the towel regarding the fight for the Brasileirão. The Portuguese coach, with a past at Sporting, recently dropped points in the title race and admitted that winning the championship had become very complicated. The former Eagles’ center-back had also criticized Neymar in recent days.

After the draw with Fluminense, Palmeiras was left four points behind Flamengo, the leader of the Brasileirão, with only three rounds remaining in the competition. Abel Ferreira, whose team is also playing in the Libertadores final, explained that he wanted the squad focused on that game, and that the league was, from now on, lost.

"Up to today we fought for the title and we lost, it wasn’t just me who lost, we lost as a team. I think it’s very hard to have the energy, especially because after the Libertadores we have another game in two days. I think we should channel our energy towards next Saturday. We have a midweek game, we’ll prepare for it as best we can, but I believe the league is gone," said Abel Ferreira at the end of that match between Palmeiras and Fluminense.

Someone who did not like these words was Luisão. The former Benfica center-back criticized the ex-Sporting coach for this attitude: "It sounded like disregard for the Brazilian Championship. He and Leila [Pereira, the club president], at times, behave as if they are above good and evil".
