Palmeiras back in training after Brasileirão win | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to training on the morning of Thursday (26), at the Academia de Futebol, the day after their 2-1 victory over Fluminense in Barueri (SP), for the Brazilian Championship. The players who played more than 45 minutes followed the club's recovery schedule, while the rest of the squad worked on ball circulation and attacking plays in the final third of the field under the guidance of the Portuguese coaching staff.

The result against the team from Rio kept Palmeiras at the top of the Brasileirão, with ten points earned. The focus now shifts to the semifinal of the Campeonato Paulista against São Paulo, which will be played on Sunday (01), at 8:30 p.m., at Arena Crefisa Barueri – a stadium where the Greatest Champion of Brazil has never lost a Choque-Rei (two wins and one draw) and has a nine-game unbeaten streak overall.

Giay Speaks

Right-back Agustín Giay, who replaced Khellven at the start of the second half, commented on the unbeaten run in the Brasileirão.

The knockout match against São Paulo will be a rematch of last year’s semifinal, when Palmeiras came out on top 1-0 at Allianz Parque, with a goal by Raphael Veiga after a penalty suffered by Vitor Roque. In this year’s Paulista, Alviverde claimed the Choque-Rei Trophy by defeating their rival in the group stage (3-1, goals by Mauricio, Flaco López, and Khellven).
