Abel Ferreira’s team began preparations for their match against Atlético-MG, which will take place this Wednesday at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) at Arena MRV, for the first round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
On Monday, after a physical activation session at the club’s excellence center, the Palmeiras squad went out to the field, where they performed movement, marking, play-building, ball-out, crossing, and finishing exercises.
