Palmeiras' coach, Abel Ferreira, challenged the journalists this Wednesday (04), after the match against Vitória. According to the coach, São Paulo and Corinthians need to face the same pressure for titles as the alviverde team and Flamengo.

— If teams like São Paulo and Corinthians are as competitive throughout the year as they are against Palmeiras, they would compete for the national title. We should also demand from them because they invest enough to compete with us (Palmeiras and Flamengo) -, he said in a press conference.

In recent years, Flamengo and Palmeiras have dominated Brazilian football. However, Corinthians and São Paulo, which also have high investments, are not held accountable for good results and, especially, for not competing for the title of the Brazilian Championship.
