Speak, Gómez!

Back after commitments for the South American Qualifiers, defender Gustavo Gómez celebrated Paraguay's qualification for the World Cup and highlighted the importance of the learning acquired at Verdão.

The whole country was happy with the qualification after almost 16 years. I think it's a little more enjoyable to qualify after so much struggle, not giving up. I just have to thank Palmeiras too, because here I learned this, not to give up and always fight to the end. I have this winning mindset. I am very grateful to Palmeiras because it provides me with everything, with a top structure so that I can always give my best at each training and each game

The defender also valued the FIFA date period, both for the athletes who remained in São Paulo and for those who served their national teams, like the Argentine Flaco López, called up for the first time.

It's good for the coach and his staff to be able to work, try to correct mistakes and continue with the good things, strengthening. This is very important, and also having the players in the national teams, because this shows that they value the work we are doing here at Palmeiras. Now we have a sequence of difficult games, but we are prepared, we work for this. Tomorrow we already have a game here at home and we will seek three more points to stay close to the leadership

The Greatest Champion of Brazil currently occupies the third position of the Brasileirão, with 43 points, but with fewer games than Cruzeiro and Flamengo. For Gómez, the group is ready to take advantage of the home factor and stay strong in the fight for the top positions.

The opponent is difficult, has very good players, but the teammates who stayed here during this FIFA date worked a lot to prepare this game. We also arrived and already joined the training and the work that the coach had been doing. I think tomorrow will be a good day to play a great game and add three more points at home, which is super important in the Brazilian Championship
