Andreas praises Palmeiras setup, ready to make debut against Internacional | OneFootball

Officially presented this Thursday at the Football Academy, Andreas Pereira celebrated the opportunity to play for Palmeiras. The midfielder, who signed a contract until December 2028, revealed that he is in great physical shape to debut against Internacional this Saturday (13th) at 6:30 PM (Brasilia time) at Allianz Parque.

“I completed the entire pre-season at Fulham and I am ready to play, I am in very good physical condition, I worked during the holidays because I wanted to arrive in good shape. I am 100% physically, we'll see if it will be this Saturday, but I am available,” he said.

The player, registered in the CBF's BID (Daily Information Bulletin) last Monday (1st), commented that the technical difference in national football compared to abroad has significantly decreased, in addition to highlighting Palmeiras' structure.

“Indeed, this has decreased a lot, Palmeiras' structure here is elite, few clubs in the world provide the support they give to players. The level of football is challenging because there are many trips here, it's difficult to compare, but in the World Cup, we saw that it was possible to play on equal terms, so I think this gap is getting smaller, and with such a structure, it gets smaller every year,” he analyzed.

Andreas may make his re-debut for a Brazilian club after three years. His last stint in Brazil was between 2021 and 2022, when he played for Flamengo, on loan from Manchester United.

The midfielder is Palmeiras' 12th reinforcement this season, being the fourth in this transfer window.
