Palmeiras train as Lucas Evangelista celebrates his return | OneFootball

“It was one of the worst moments of my life. I was in a really good phase, the team was clicking. But it’s part of the process and part of life. The recovery was very good, even better than I expected, and I’m being rewarded by being able to train with the squad again and be called up for the game,” said the number 30, who made a point to praise the professionals at Palmeiras’ Health and Performance Center. Not only because of the structure Palmeiras offers, but here the professionals are very competent. As professionals and as people too, everyone is of great character. The recovery was much smoother, even happier. I was always joking with everyone, always working happily, always grateful for everything I’m experiencing here at Palmeiras. I won’t name names, but I wanted to thank everyone and even told them that later we’ll arrange a lunch or dinner to show my appreciation,” he said.

“Since I arrived here, I’ve always felt at home, everyone welcomed me very well, this place became a family for me. Spending this special date here, feeling so appreciated, so loved by everyone, is very important, especially now that I’m coming back from injury,” he shared.

“It’s great to go into a Derby like this, after a win, especially the way it happened. We’re increasing our internal demands to fit what Abel is asking, what the coaching staff wants. We’re trying to keep the ball at our feet more, control the game. Regardless of playing at home or away, we have to control the match. Of course, it’s impossible to do that 100% of the time, but we’re always striving for it. We go into this match confident, knowing that a derby isn’t played, it’s won. We’re even more confident and, God willing, we’ll come out with the victory,” concluded the player, who has 33 appearances and two goals for the Greatest Champion of Brazil.
