Gómez urges unity as Palmeiras face Fluminense in crucial run | OneFootball

The defender Gustavo Gómez knows that Palmeiras will not have an easy time in the match against Fluminense, scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday at Allianz Parque, for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. The defender previewed the clash, in which Verdão will count on the strength of its fans.

“It’s going to be a tough game, they’re coming off a win against Flamengo. They’re a good team, but at home we have to do our best. We’ll also have our fans with us, who are a key piece for us.” projected Gómez, who is expected to return to the starting lineup after being on the bench due to fatigue against Vitória.

This will be Palmeiras’ last game at Allianz Parque this season. From now on, the alviverde team will only have away matches in the Brasileirão – besides, of course, the big final of the Copa Libertadores, to be played in Peru. Gómez, therefore, wants to give the fans one last victory this Saturday.

“We have to do well in this farewell to our fans at Allianz Parque this season. I hope tomorrow will be a beautiful day for us to add three more points, and then against Grêmio as well, so we can reach the Libertadores final in the best way,” analyzed the Paraguayan.

Gómez calls for unity from all sides

Palmeiras is still alive in the fight for the Brazilian Championship title. Alviverde only drew with Vitória in the last round, but reduced the gap to Flamengo thanks to the leader’s stumble against Fluminense. Verdão is in second place, with 69 points – two fewer than the Rio de Janeiro side.

Besides Serie A, Palmeiras will also face Flamengo in the Libertadores final and is looking to become the first four-time Brazilian champion of the tournament. According to Gómez, this is the moment for everyone to unite in pursuit of the club’s goals in this decisive stretch of the season.

“We’re heading towards the end of the season. We’re in the fight for the Brasileirão and soon we’ll also have the Libertadores final, which is very important for us, for Palmeiras, and for our fans. It’s time to focus, work, and have everyone together,” emphasized the defender.

“It’s time to correct mistakes and adjust some things so we can reach the Libertadores final in the best shape. For tomorrow, we’ll go after the three points to get closer to the lead and keep fighting for the title until the end of the championship,” concluded the Palmeiras captain.
