Palmeiras held their first training session in Lima, Peru, in preparation for the big Libertadores final next Saturday (29), against Flamengo. Coach Abel Ferreira and his staff conducted over an hour of tactical work at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium.
The coach of Verdão has some uncertainties in the team's lineup for the decisive match, such as the central defense pair, the defensive midfielder, and the wingers. One of the new faces is expected to be Allan, who highlighted his participation in the first final of the continental competition.
– It is a dream come true to be here, enjoying this very special moment. I think every kid who comes from the youth academy wants to go through this, to enjoy moments like this. I try to stay as calm as possible in these two remaining days, not think too much, not spend too much time on the phone, and also manage to rest and sleep well. It's difficult, but I aim to prepare myself mentally as much as possible to arrive at the final and play a good match – he said.
– As Abel mentioned, he is in his third final with Palmeiras, always trying to give us the best information, so we don't do anything different just because it's the final. Obviously, it's the most important game of the year, it does require extra concentration and effort, but he tries to keep us calm and maintain what we've been doing throughout the season – he added.
The young player also highlighted the support from Palmeiras fans in recent days.
– This is very important, we really feel their affection, many come all the way from Brazil to support us here. We felt this support at the World Cup and once again here in Lima they are putting on a beautiful show, they welcomed us at the hotel, and this is important for us to arrive well, confident for the final, and to be able to bring them this joy – he concluded.
