Lucas Evangelista hails Palmeiras win, shares thoughts on the Derby | OneFootball

Starting player in Palmeiras' triumph over Sport this Monday, Lucas Evangelista commented on Verdão's victory after Tuesday's training session. The midfielder praised the team's performance and revealed that results like this make the atmosphere "lighter".

"We work every day during the week precisely to achieve these victories. It becomes easier to work, it gives more confidence to those who are playing and those who are coming in. Things end up flowing in an even more natural way," he said.

"We know we are on the right track, of course, not everything is perfect, we can't fool ourselves with that. Victories end up hiding some details, some small mistakes, but we have a very good mindset regarding this," he added.

The number 30 also spoke about the preparation for the classic against Corinthians, next Sunday, for the Brazilian Championship.

"Now it's a longer week, we can rest both mentally and physically. We've come from a heavy sequence of game after game, so I'm sure we'll rest, clear our heads, return to training, and make the best strategy, listen to what Abel has to say along with his staff. It's about working, resting, and I'm sure we'll play a good game on Sunday," he stated.

Finally, Lucas Evangelista also congratulated the club, which celebrates its 111th anniversary this Tuesday.

"I feel very honored to wear this jersey. I've been here for a short time, but I have enormous gratitude for the club. Since I arrived, I've also identified a lot with the fans. Congratulations to the club for these 111 years of glory and achievements, and may it always be so," he concluded.

The Derby is scheduled for 6:30 PM (Brasília time) next Sunday, at the Neo Química Arena. The match is valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
