Abel Ferreira unfazed by Flamengo, shares Palmeiras’ title secret | OneFootball

What did Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras' coach, say after the match against Botafogo?

The Brazilian Championship has already started the second round, and with that, the competition for the top positions in the table is getting increasingly fierce. Currently, Flamengo is the isolated leader of the competition, with 43 points, followed by Palmeiras, which has 39. Despite the current gap, Abel Ferreira, the coach of the São Paulo team, pointed out the secret for the club to win the tournament title.

— In the last three or four years, Palmeiras has been competing (fighting for titles) with someone. In the Libertadores, the groups are not always easy. And like all teams in the world, we win and lose, we go through different moments. Palmeiras is a very well-managed club, very well directed by Barros, and has a more or less coach. Surely there are many coaches better than me. But I don't think I'm that bad, modesty aside -, declared Abel Ferreira in a press conference on Sunday (17).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Since the beginning of the season, Flamengo has defined the Brasileirão as the club's top priority. And so far, the Rubro-Negro has been reaping good results in the tournament. This is because, even with one game less, Filipe Luís's team has accumulated 43 points, securing the isolated lead. It is important to note that the São Paulo team still has two matches to play.

Next comes Palmeiras, with 39, followed by Cruzeiro, which has 37. It is important to note that the Minas Gerais team can overtake Abel Ferreira's team, as they play on Monday (18) at 8 pm (Brasília time) against Mirassol.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?
