Marlon Freitas urges Palmeiras to bounce back after Vasco loss | OneFootball

The Palmeiras was defeated by Vasco on Thursday night in the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship. Flaco López opened the scoring, but Thiago Mendes and Cuiabano turned the game around for the Cruzmaltino, in a match held at São Januário Stadium in Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Marlon Freitas lamented the result and called for consistency from the team when analyzing the match.

“We came back a bit lukewarm for the second half. We played a first half with control of the game, very good, but in the second we couldn't control the game. Vasco increased the pressure, we were supposed to mark more closely, but we couldn't. And we were prepared for this, we trained this way. When you win, everyone wins, when you lose, everyone loses. We're not here to make excuses, but to deliver results,” he said to Record.

And now?

With the result, Palmeiras suffered its first defeat in the Brasileirão and lost the lead to São Paulo, which reached 13 points. Abel Ferreira's team remains with ten points and drops to second place. Now, they have three wins, one draw, and one loss.

The Verdão has the chance to bounce back in front of their fans upon their return to Allianz Parque this Sunday, in a match against Mirassol.

“Correct and respond on Sunday. It's a tough game, but at our home and with the support of our fans. Correct the mistakes, analyze this match well to be consistent, not just for 45 minutes, but for 90 minutes. Learn lessons from this game to return on Sunday and pursue our goal, which is the three points,” he continued.
