“I take good care of myself and, with this whole run of matches, it couldn’t be any different. During this FIFA break, there are no games, but our coaching staff always puts us through intense training sessions, like today’s. It may even be more tiring than a match,” he said.

“We had a few days off, and now it’s back to training with a lot of strength, quality, and intensity so that we can go into matches and perform the same way we do in training. That’s what Abel asks of us, and that’s what we’ve been delivering in training and in matches: a lot of competitiveness, commitment, and dedication,” he concluded.

Murilo celebrated his fifth anniversary as a Palmeiras player, in a year in which he has been performing well for the team. In 2026, the center-back has made 14 appearances for Verdão, all as a starter, scoring two goals, one of them in the Campeonato Paulista final against Novorizontino.

During his time at Palmeiras, he has established himself as the fourth-highest scoring center-back in the club’s history, with 22 goals. In addition, he has a 70.1% success rate wearing the green-and-white shirt, with 130 wins, 56 draws, and 26 losses.
