Palmeiras line-up: Abel Ferreira readies surprises for clash with LDU

Palmeiras trained on the afternoon of Wednesday (29), at Allianz Parque, and continued their preparations for the second leg of the Libertadores semifinal against LDU-EQU, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (30), at their own home ground. In pursuit of a spot in the final, the squad received support from club staff as they left the Football Academy and from fans on the street outside the stadium.

Verdão needs to beat LDU by more than three goals to advance to the Libertadores final (if they win by exactly three goals, the spot will be decided by a penalty shootout).

After watching a tactical video at the Academy, the players went to the Allianz Parque pitch to practice positioning and movements prepared by the coaching staff for the match, among other drills. Midfielder Aníbal Moreno, recovered from swelling in his left calf, participated in the training session with the group.

The probable lineup for Thursday’s decisive match is: Carlos Miguel; Khellven (Giay), Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Anibal Moreno (Bruno Fuchs), Andreas Pereira, Mauricio, and Felipe Anderson; Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

Vitor Roque Speaks

Forward Vitor Roque, who has scored 11 goals in his last 12 matches, expressed his gratitude for the affection and trust.

“It’s definitely very important for us to have this support from the fans, from all the club staff who work behind the scenes so we can play. I’m very happy and grateful to each fan. We hope to play an excellent match and come away with the win,” he said.

In the last 17 games in which he played alongside Flaco López, they were directly involved in 31 goals. Vitor Roque, for example, scored 13 times and provided four assists, while Flaco found the net 11 times and assisted two goals.

“We work with a lot of humility and focus. We’re sure we’ll play a brilliant game and, God willing, come away with the win and the qualification, which is the most important thing for us.”

“It’s going to be do or die, we’ll go in looking for victory the whole time, from the first to the last minute. We’re confident, we count on the support of the fans and, God willing, everything will work out,” he added.
