Larissa Vasconcelos on game marathon before Palmeiras derby in Paulista | OneFootball

The Sereias da Vila host Palmeiras on Thursday night (14) in the second round of the Campeonato Paulista. The match will be played at Vila Belmiro, with Santos FC as the home side and with only Santos supporters in attendance, kicking off at 7:30 p.m.

With the Brazilian Championship and the Paulista Championship taking place at the same time, full-back Larissa Vasconcelos assessed the challenges and benefits of this marathon of matches in the country’s main competitions.

“We know how difficult it is to compete in such important tournaments at the same time, but we also understand how much moments like these strengthen the group. Playing at home, in front of our fans, in another derby in the Paulista, is a great opportunity to build confidence, keep the team’s momentum going, and show the strength of our squad. A win could be crucial to solidifying our current form this season and continuing to grow game after game,” Larissa said.

After the first victory under head coach Marcelo Frigerio, Sereias da Vila’s number 2 spoke about the new work and the players’ commitment in this new cycle.

“These have been very positive weeks. Even with little time working together, we can already see new ideas, a different intensity, and collective improvement from the team. The coach has been giving the group a lot of confidence, and everyone has been working very hard to take in what he is asking for. We know we still have a lot of room to grow, but I believe we are on the right path to keep improving more and more throughout the season,” she concluded.
