Carlos Miguel thanks Weverton, aims to stay in top form at Palmeiras | OneFootball

After Palmeiras' return this Thursday, goalkeeper Carlos Miguel spoke about his current phase in the season. The Verdão's keeper celebrated the good moment and also thanked the idol Weverton, who left the São Paulo team on his way to Grêmio.

“We have to maintain concentration from start to finish. Yesterday I was more challenged with saves towards the end of the match and I'm there to save. Thank God, I was able to perform well and help the team come out with a victory in a classic. Last season, opportunities came quickly and it was good, I think we managed to prepare well. This year, starting from scratch is very important for us to have a sequence. I've already managed some clean sheets and I'm working to have even more and, of course, also seeking victories and titles throughout the year,” said the goalkeeper in an interview with TV Palmeiras.

Starting goalkeeper for Palmeiras since October 2025, when Weverton got injured, Carlos Miguel has already played 14 matches wearing the green and white jersey and left nine without conceding goals. The goalkeeper conceded ten goals during this period and endured the runner-up finishes in the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship, both to Flamengo.

Carlos Miguel thanks Weverton: “Much success”

Besides celebrating the good phase, Carlos Miguel also thanked Weverton, his former position companion and Palmeiras idol. The former Verdão goalkeeper was announced by Grêmio on Thursday morning, ending an eight-year stint with the green and white jersey.

“I worked with him for a short time and it was enough to see how he is as a person, the leadership he had, and the legacy he left of victories, titles, and friendships with everyone here. He left many good things and it's no wonder he left through the front door. The tribute to him was something very special. He is older than me and I was able to learn a lot from him. I only have to thank him for everything and I'm happy that he is also happy, which is the most important. I wish him much success today and always,” he concluded.
