Na última terça-feira, o zagueiro Geromel participou do jogo contra a Chapecoense e ativou a cláusula do seu contrato que renova o acordo com o Grêmio por mais uma temporada.
Capitão do time, o defensor atingiu o jogo 33 da temporada, o que significa 60% dos jogos da equipe no ano, meta que estava em seu contrato.
Agora, aos 37 anos, Geromel projeta continuar no time gaúcho por muito mais tempo e revelou que não tinha preocupação com o assunto.
‘Nunca foi uma preocupação minha (a renovação). Eu tenho vontade de ficar, acho que o Grêmio também quer que eu fique. Nunca tivemos problema nesse aspecto’, declarou.

The powers that be at Celtic made a huge call in the recent January transfer window when they sanctioned a move away from Parkhead for Kyogo Furuhashi.
He had racked up 85 goals in 165 appearances in all competitions for the Scottish giants, proving himself to be a reliable goalscorer for the club over several seasons.
However, Ligue 1 side Rennes came in with an offer of £10m to sign the 30-year-old centre-forward and that was enough for the Hoops to decide to cash in on the Japan international.
Kyogo, who scored 34 goals in the 2022/23 campaign, left big boots to fill as the main man for goals for the Scottish Premiership leaders when he completed his move to France earlier this year.
Celtic, however, have not missed his presence in the number nine position because fellow Japan international Daizen Maeda has stepped up in his absence.
How Daizen Maeda has become the new Kyogo
The 27-year-old attacker has spent the majority of his career at Parkhead playing on either the left or the right flank, starting 120 matches in all competitions in those positions.
Whilst the majority of his appearances this season have also been in those two roles, Maeda has also started seven games as a centre-forward in the absence of Kyogo this term – scoring a staggering 12 goals in those matches.
He has showcased his positional flexibility and his quality at the top end of the pitch with his terrific performances on the wing and as a number nine, as the Japanese dynamo has emerged as the main man for goals at Parkhead.
Maeda has racked up an impressive haul of 28 goals and nine assists in 42 appearances in all competitions for Celtic so far this season, which shows that he has posed a constant threat to opposition defenders as either a winger or a striker.

As you can see in the table above, he is the top scorer for the Hoops in the Premiership this season and has outperformed his xG by more than any of the other top five scorers in the division.
You can also see that he has scored three more goals than Kyogo managed before his departure, despite having almost three less Expected Goals, which speaks to how ruthless he has been in the final third.
Maeda has, therefore, become the new and improved Kyogo for Celtic by leading the way as the go-to man for goals for Brendan Rodgers this season.
The Hoops did not have to go and sign a new player to replace the Rennes striker and they may not have to sign a new player when it comes to eventually replacing Maeda in the future, but his replacement seems unlikely to be Daniel Cummings.
Why Daniel Cummings is not a future star for Celtic
The exciting 18-year-old centre-forward has been making waves in the academy this season with his incredibly prolific performances for the B team.
Cummings, who made his first-team debut against Aston Villa in the Champions League earlier this year, has racked up a staggering 29 goals in 31 matches across the Lowland League and the UEFA Youth League.
Daniel Cummings for Celtic
The teenage sensation has scored six goals in 12 matches for the Youth League side and 38 goals in 54 outings for the B team throughout his career in the academy to date, including 12 goals in 19 Lowland League games last term.
However, Celtic and their supporters may never get to see him fulfill his potential at Parkhead, because his contract expires this summer and it was recently reported that he is in talks with West Ham over a move to the Premier League side.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
This is why the Hoops youngster may not be a future star or a Maeda replacement for Rodgers, as he could be on his way out of the club at the end of the season, but there is another young striker at the club who could emerge as a key player down the road.
Celtic already have their next Daizen Maeda brewing
Celtic have 21-year-old Johnny Kenny on their books and his contract is not due to expire until the summer of 2026, which means that the youngster is set to be at the club next season – barring any summer transfer away from Glasgow.
The Ireland U21 international returned from his loan spell at Shamrock Rovers in January and has featured in five matches off the bench in all competitions to date, registering one assist.
Kenny has, therefore, not had too many opportunities to showcase his quality in a Celtic shirt yet, but his form for Shamrock Rovers in 2024 suggests that the potential is there for him to emerge as a Maeda-esque star for the club in the future.
The young marksman, who spent the 2023 and 2024 campaigns on loan in Ireland, scored 20 goals in all competitions for his loan club last year, including a return of five goals in six matches in the Conference League.

As you can see in the table above, Kenny was ruthless in front of goal in Europe for Shamrock Rovers, outperforming his xG and only missing one ‘big chance’ in six matches.
He also scored 13 goals in 29 league matches, whilst Maeda has scored 13 goals in 27 Premiership games this term, and this shows that the centre-forward can make an impact domestically and in Europe at the top end of the pitch.
These statistics show that Kenny has already proven himself at senior level, unlike Cummings, but it is now down to the Irish youth international to prove that he can do it in a Celtic jersey.
He has shown that the potential is there for him to be a big goalscoring threat in the number nine position, in domestic football and in Europe, and it is down to him to make the most of any chances that Rodgers gives him to impress, as he could develop into Celtic’s next Maeda up front.

ByDan Emery Mar 23, 2025
At the age of 21, there is still plenty of time left for him to develop and improve as a player, and the Hoops can afford to take their time with him, which may also be why losing Cummings to West Ham this summer may not be a disaster – as they already have Kenny.
علق أحمد حسام ميدو، لاعب الزمالك السابق، على تصريحاته السابقة بشأن أداء لاعبي الأهلي في بطولة كأس العالم للأندية 2025.
وكان الأهلي ودع بطولة كأس العالم للأندية، بعدما احتل المركز الرابع والأخير في ترتيب المجموعة الأولى برصيد نقطتين، بعد تعادله مع إنتر ميامي وبورتو، فيما خسر أمام بالميراس بهدفين دون رد.
ميدو وصف لاعبي فريق الكرة الأول بالنادي الأهلي، بأنهم يفتقدون أساسيات كرة القدم، ما تسبب في غضب الجماهير منه.
وقال ميدو، في تصريحات لبرنامج “الكابتن” على قناة “دي إم سي”: “أتحدث في أي موضوع مثل أي شخص مصلحته الأهم هي تطوير الكرة المصرية كمنظومة، دائمًا نتحدث للصالح العام، ولم أقصد بتصريحاتي عن افتقاد اللاعبين لأساسيات كرة القدم بمباراة الأهلي فقط”.
وتابع: “لكن كنت أقول أن لدينا قصور في تطوير اللاعبين من سن صغير وتطوير المدربين، نتكلم في هذه الأمور كناس سبق ولعبوا في مستوى جيد وبحكم خبراتهم نقارن بين ما يحدث في الدول الأوروبية وأيضًا الإفريقية التي طورت من نفسها”.
وأكد: “للأسف الناس يأخذون الموضوع من منطلق زمالك وأهلي، لكن نحن نتحدث للصالح العام، وأوقات ممكن تختار إنك في بعض المواقف تسكت، لكن دائمًا نحارب من أجل تطوير منظومة كرة القدم في مصر”.
وأضاف: “نحن نحاول أن نقول رأينا لأن علينا دور كبير في تطوير منظومة كرة القدم من الناحية الفنية، ولا بد أن يأخذ الناس كلامنا بعين الاعتبار وليس من زاوية التحدي أو أن من يتحدث له هدف أو أجندة ونحن والله ليس لنا هدف أو أجندة”.
وواصل: “الزمالك دائمًا التاريخ كتب عليه أن يكون منافس مباشر في كل البطولات، قلنا إننا كلجنة تخطيط وأنا بالتحديد (اشتغلت شغلانة مش بتاعتي) لمساعدة النادي، وكنت دائمًا أخطط لعمل هيكلة لقطاع كرة القدم، الناس يعملون وجون إدوارد يعمل بشكل جيد ونطالب جمهور الزمالك بأن يصبر علينا، وإن شاء الله الزمالك سيكون لديه فريق محترم يستطيع المنافسة في الموسم الجديد”.
وبسؤاله متى سيتم الإعلان عن المدير الفني الجديد، كشف: “هناك اجتماعات خلال الأسبوع المُقبل بين المدير الرياضي وحسين لبيب وهشام نصر، وبعدها سيتم الإعلان عن المدير الفني وخطط النادي للموسم المُقبل، وأوجه رسالة لجمهور الزمالك لا تقلقوا”.
وبسؤاله هل شيكابالا مستمر؟، قال: “سيتم الإعلان من خلال المتحدث الرسمي أو جون إدوارد، هو لاعب كبير في النادي ولن يكون هناك أي قرار إلا بعد العودة للاعب، لأن كل الجماهير تعتز به”.
ما ردك على تصريح زكي عبد الفتاح الذي قال فيه أنك أسوأ محترف في تاريخ مصر؟: “أقول له كتر خيرك، أنت رجل ترى أن ميدو أسوأ محترف، وأنا لم أسيء له من قبل، أنا أحترم الناس كلها وأقول له عيب، ايًا كانت أهدافك أو أجندتك”.
واختتم: “لكن أنا لا ألوم عليه بل على الناس التي تستضيفه وتعطي له مساحة للهجوم على شخص صنع تاريخًا، دور مقدم البرنامج أن يرد عن الغائب، فكيف أن يسمح أن يُقال هذا الكلام عن لاعب سافر واحترف وكافح وعاد ليفيد بلده، فأنا لا ألوم عليه بل ألوم على مقدم البرنامج”.
Michael Jones, Ollie Robinson lead workmanlike victory at Chester-le-Street
David Hopps02-Jun-2023
Michael Jones top-scored for Durham•Getty Images
Anticipation abounds throughout Lancashire that Jos Buttler finally has the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to their Vitality Blast campaign. His presence is something to applaud, but so far it is not going according to plan. A second failure in successive nights accentuated Lancashire’s gloom as they fell to a third successive defeat, Durham completing a workmanlike six-wicket victory with 10 balls to spare.Many imagined that Buttler looked jaded as he completed his Rajasthan Royals’ IPL campaign with three successive ducks, so as much as he officially pronounces that he is “fresh and raring to go” for the Blast, Lancashire will be wary of expecting miracles from his prolonged availability this summer following a dearth in which he has managed only seven appearances in five seasons. It is easy to mentally lose touch with a county as your life moves on: that perhaps represents his greatest challenge.Buttler’s second-ball dismissal against Yorkshire was followed by 11 in 10 balls against Durham at Chester-le-Street before a short ball from Bas de Leede rose more than he expected and he mistimed a pull to mid-on.Convert his run of scores 0-0-0-1-11 into a Hex colour code and it comes up as overwhelmingly black, so those of a mystical nature will imagine a subliminal message at work here that when it comes to the Blast, Buttler faces some dark times. There again, to a non-mathematician at least, the sequence looks vaguely like a binary progression in which the next number might be 111 or something. Struggling to connect or destined to succeed? Nottinghamshire, on Sunday afternoon, is next up, both counties are now desperate for a win, and we may find out more.From the broiling crowds of the IPL to a relatively sedate Friday evening in a Durham market town is not an easy adjustment, especially as half of the 5,000 crowd were still queueing to get into the ground for the 6.30 start. When he played his one shot of note – a square cut against Wayne Parnell – cars were still driving behind the bowler’s arm. Many missed his dismissal. WFH Fridays can’t be a thing in the north-east or else everybody would have been skiving off from lunchtime.Blast aficionados will hope that Buttler discovers simple pleasures in the competition – it is the longest-established T20 tournament that should remind him of his roots after all – but Eoin Morgan became increasingly apathetic before he called time on his Middlesex career and, at 32, perhaps even the player himself is uncertain how things will fall 10 years after he left Somerset for Lancashire for more regular wicketkeeping opportunities.As he lives in London, even his home appearances for Lancashire represent life in a suitcase. And there comes a time when everybody has had enough of that – even if you are guaranteed on-trend hotel offerings of customised experiences, digital conveniences and nose-to-tail menu options.Chester-le-Street is not the easiest place to make your mark, a ground where the pitches often demand considerable labour for batting rewards. Lancashire posted 152 for 9, their first six batters reaching double figures but nobody surpassing Steven Croft’s 34 from 30 balls, an innings ended when Nathan Sowter spotted him advancing down the pitch and dropped one shorter to bowl him through the gate.Sowter, who added Tom Hartley at long on, a crucial moment as Lancashire limped to 18 from their last four overs. The sub fielder, Jonathan Bushnell, took an exceptional diving catch on the rope at backward square to remove Luke Wood off Wayne Parnell, who followed up by yorking Tom Bailey.Sowter has the second-best economy rate in the tournament to date behind Somerset’s Roelof van der Merwe and he is already showing that he can prosper on this sluggish Riverside square. Durham’s acquisitions of Sowter and Ollie Robinson, as spritely as ever in making 39 from 30 balls, could not have been much shrewder.Lancashire’s other England white-ball batters also had starts that they could not see through as Durham’s Netherlands contingent made more of an impact than Ireland’s attack managed at Lord’s.Phil Salt made a clean-hitting start then whipped Brandon Glover dozily to deep square. Liam Livingstone was more painstaking, in captaincy mode, changed gear by twice muscling de Leede for sixes towards the Health Club but the third fell short at long-on, much to the disappointment of any over-excitable personal trainers looking on from the gymnasium windows.Durham did what Durham do on Chester-le-Street nights like this, grinding down the target with little fanfare. Crucially, Lancashire’s spinners could not make the impact that Sowter had earlier. Hartley and Matt Parkinson conceded 67 in eight overs. Michael Jones’ met them with comfort in top-scoring with 43 from 33 balls. Successive straight sixes against Parkinson left Durham 38 short with seven overs and eight wickets left and settled the game. Their only breakthrough coming when Graham Clark pulled over a quicker, flatter one from Hartley.Once again, North Group confounds predictions. Defeats for Lancashire, Notts and Birmingham have left it closer than logic suggested it would be with Worcestershire making the most convincing audition so far as the surprise contenders for a last-eight place.
Em situações opostas na Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro, Vila Nova e Londrina mediram forças na noite desta sexta-feira, no estádio Serra Dourada, em Goiânia, pela 24ª rodada. Apesar de mostrar mais volume de jogo, o Tigre acabou esbarrando na falta de pontaria, além do forte sistema defensivo do Tubarão, mantendo o placar zerado até o fim.

BOM INÍCIO DO VILA NOVA
Fazendo valer o fator casa, o Vila Nova iniciou o confronto indo para cima do Londrina. Até meados dos 15 minutos, apesar de ter mais volume de jogo, chegou uma única vez com perigo ao seu campo de ataque na tentativa de Pablo Dyego, mas a bola do atacante acabou parando na defesa do goleiro Matheus Nogueira.
Por outro lado, além de neutralizar as investidas do Tigre, o Tubarão focava manter a posse de bola quando a recuperava, apostando em algumas trocas de passes. Entretanto, diferente do rival, pouco assustou Tony, que apenas mantinha-se apenas atento.
PANORAMA SEGUIA IGUAL
Com o tempo passando, o Vila seguia ditando um pouco mais o ritmo em campo, porém, desta vez, sem dar trabalho ao camisa 1 do time paranaense. Por outro lado, o técnico Adilson Batista gastou sua primeira alteração na partida ao tirar Alan Ruschel, que deixou o campo lesionado, para a entrada de Eltinho
Já na reta final, o Tigre voltou a ser mais ofensivo. Em duas chances seguidas, Neto Pessoa e Alex Silva desperdiçaram o que poderia ser o gol dos goianos, dando a deixa para a arbitragem, momentos depois, encerrar a etapa inicial no Serra Dourada.
DONOS DA CASA MANTÉM POSTURA OFENSIVA
Não muito diferente de como foi no primeiro tempo, o Vila não quis saber de dar sossego ao sistema defensivo do Londrina. Com isso, em 20 minutos jogados, apesar de algumas chegadas por parte dos visitantes, insistia em jogadas aéreas fazendo com que Matheus Nogueira mostrasse serviço.
TIMES VÃO PARA O TUDO OU NADA
Com o placar zerado, ambos os treinadores optaram por mais algumas substituições. No entanto, eram os mandantes quem conseguiam finalizar mais, quase abrindo o placar aos 31, na cabeça de Wagner e, na sequência, comMatheus Souza, que acabou na defesa de Matheus Nogueira.
Nos acréscimos, o Vila ainda tentou mais algumas vezes. Porém, sem êxito nas chances, viu a arbitragem colocar um ponto final na partida para frustração de ambos os lados.

Na noite do último domingo, o Internacional bateu o Fluminense por 3 a 0 pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, mas o time gaúcho não deixou de lado o erro da arbitragem no gol anulado de Mauricio.
– VEJA A TABELA DO BRASILEIRÃO
Na jogada que foi considerada irregular, o VAR indicou que Alemão estava impedido no início do lance e por isso não poderia validar o gol.
Na sequência do lance, Alemão acionou Mauricio, que ganhou na velocidade do zagueiro, invadiu a grande área do Fluminense e tocou na saída de Fábio.
Irregularidade na análise
Independente de estar à frente de Felipe Melo na hora do passe, Alemão estava no campo de defesa do seu time, o que impede de ser apontado impedimento pela arbitragem.
Mano Menezes
O técnico Mano Menezes não deixou barato na coletiva de imprensa e reclamou da decisão da arbitragem, que impediu o seu time de construir um placar mais elástico diante do Fluminense.
Confira o diálogo da equipe de arbitragem:
‘Esse aqui está no campo dele. Está no campo de defesa’, afirmou um representante, antes de completar: ‘Ele está com os dois pés para trás. A posição aí é legal. Ele está para trás. a inclinação do corpo não conta, certo?’
‘A inclinação do corpo conta’, afirma outro representante da arbitragem.
‘Ramon (Abatti, árbitro da partida), o atleta que faz o gol não está impedido. Mas, no primeiro lance, no meio de campo, está em posição de impedimento. Pode confirmar impedimento. decisão factual. Exatamente na linha do meio do campo’, diz o integrante da equipe de vídeo.

وتابع: “أستطيع المشاركة في إسكواد الأهلي الحالي إذا كنت متواجدًا، حققت أرقامًا وإحصائيات لم يفعلها لاعبون ارتدوا قميص الأهلي أو الزمالك، ولم أحصل على حقي في مصر بالشكل الكامل”.

وأكمل: “الأهلي هو الأفضل الموسم الماضي، وبيراميدز صنع حالة مميزة، لكن ما زال أمامه وقت حتى يصبح مثل الأهلي والزمالك، ومفاوضاتي معهما كانت مجرد كلام فقط”.
وأردف: “نادي الاتحاد قام بقصة من الخيال بأنني هربت من أجل الانتقال إلى الأهلي، رحلت عن الاتحاد السكندري بعد موسم تألقت فيه تحت قيادة حسام حسن المدير الفني وكنت أحد هدافي البطولة، وقتها الأهلي كان يرغب في ضمي، وعندما استفسر عن موقفي في اتحاد الكرة، وجد أنني لاعب حر وليس لدي عقد، وعندما سألت عن العقد، قالوا لي لا يوجد عقد”.
واستطرد: “مجلس إدارة الاتحاد السكندري حاول نسج قصة من الخيال حول هروبي للانتقال إلى الأهلي (ببلاش)، للتخلي عن مسؤولياتهم، ولو تكرر الأمر 100 مرة لن أغير قراري، وسأذهب إلى الأهلي”.
وأتم: “حسام حسن المدير الفني الوحيد الذي سيمنحك فرصة الانضمام لمنتخب مصر، إذا كنت تؤدي ومتألق بصرف النظر عن الأسماء والأندية، وهو من صنع اسمي”.
Arsenal are now racing to sign an “exciting” £21m player in the summer transfer window, alongside a number of their Premier League rivals, according to a report.
Gunners gearing up for busy summer
As we approach the business end of the Premier League season, it is looking increasingly likely that Mikel Arteta’s side will finish in second place for the third season on the spin, with injury issues doing the manager absolutely no favours.
With that in mind, Arteta has set out to bring in more depth in the summer transfer window, and one position in which he is currently lacking options is striker, with the likes of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres being targeted to fill the gap.
Bukayo Saka’s absence has also exposed the need to bring in new wide options, and the Gunners are now racing to sign Ademola Lookman, while Bruno Guimaraes and Martin Zubimendi are among the targets in central midfield.

The Gunners have joined their Premier League rivals in the race for a defender.
ByDominic Lund Mar 25, 2025
One position which may be viewed as less of a priority is goalkeeper, but with Neto set to return to AFC Bournemouth at the end of the campaign, Arteta may be tasked with bringing in a new back-up option between the sticks.
According to a report from Caught Offside, Arsenal are now racing a number of their Premier League rivals for Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens, with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle United also in the picture.
Senne Lammens for Royal Antwerp.
Lammens has caught the eye this season, given his impressive distribution of the ball and presence in the penalty area, with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain also placing him on their shortlist.
Amid the widespread interest in the goalkeeper, Antwerp believe they can hold out for a fee of around €20m – €25m (£17m – £21m).
"Exciting" Lammens is one for the future
There is currently little reason to replace David Raya, who is in the prime of his career at 29-years-old, however there are signs the Antwerp goalkeeper could be capable of being a solid long-term replacement.
Freelance scout Ben Mattinson has spoken particularly highly of the Belgian, having been impressed by his ability to stop crosses and distribute the ball.
Football talent scout Jacek Kulig has also described the 6 foot 4 colossus as “exciting”, and that is definitely how you would describe his last-gasp goal for Club Brugge to progress against Real Madrid in the UEFA Youth League.
Signing a new goalkeeper shouldn’t be a priority for Arsenal this summer, given that any new signing is unlikely to displace Raya in the starting XI, but Lammens could definitely be one for the future.

O lateral-direito ostenta números e marcas significativas na competição sul-americana. Tricampeão, pois conquistou também o título pelo Atlético-MG em 2013, o atleta palmeirense já o único brasileiro a disputar dez edições consecutivas (atrás apenas do paraguaio Néstor Camacho, do Olimpia-PAR, que soma 11),
Além disso, é o sexto geral da história com mais vitórias na competição, com 47 (sendo 24 pelo Verdão e 23 pelo Atlético-MG), atrás só de Ever Hugo Almeida e Danilo (48), Fábio e Clemente Rodríguez (49) e Rogério Ceni (51). Com esse histórico, Marcos Rocha falou do prazer de jogar a Libertadores, especialmente com o Verdão.
-Me sinto muito bem jogando Libertadores, é uma competição gostosa e prazerosa, ainda mais vestindo a camisa do Palmeiras, que conta jogadores de tanta qualidade. Isso me dá um entusiasmo e uma confiança ainda maiores por poder chegar sempre perto das finais. Hoje, estou tendo mais uma oportunidade, serão dois jogos de dificuldades e de peso contra uma equipe bem treinada pelo Felipão, que também vem vivendo um bom momento. Então, serão dois jogos difíceis, mas tenho certeza de que o Palmeiras está preparado mais uma vez para fazer dois grandes jogos e, se tudo ocorrer bem, que a gente possa chegar a mais uma final – disse o lateral à TV do clube.
O camisa 2 do Alviverde está no elenco desde 2018, e soma 221 duelos e sete gols, além do bi da Libertadores (2020 e 2021), do bi Paulista (2020 e 2022), da Copa do Brasil de 2020 e da Recopa Sul-Americana de 2022. Recentemente, ele foi elogiado por Abel Ferreira como um dos melhores laterais do país ao lado de Mayke. Ele agradeceu os elogios e exaltou também seu companheiro.
-Fico muito feliz por ser companheiro do Mayke no Palmeiras. A gente já foi rival há muito tempo, quando nem nos falávamos, e viemos nos encontrar aqui e ter esse respeito, cada um entendendo o seu momento. Fico feliz de ele ter reencontrado o seu bom futebol após passar por um momento de lesões e por vê-lo hoje muito bem fisicamente – afirmou Rocha antes de completar:
– Isso também me dá tranquilidade pensando em situações minhas de suspensão ou lesão, como aconteceu na última final da Libertadores, quando ele foi muito bem, deu assistência e conseguiu nos ajudar a ser bicampeão. É continuar trabalhando, com cada um buscando o seu espaço, e quem vai decidir quem vai jogar é o Abel, pois quem tem que ganhar é o Palmeiras e seus torcedores.
Por fim, Marcos Rocha analisou a partida do último sábado, diante do vice-líder Fluminense, na qual o Palmeiras conseguiu empate em 1 a 1, no Maracanã, que manteve o time como uma boa vantagem na liderança. O lateral acabou sendo substituído por Mayke no segundo tempo após um choque de cabeça com um adversário.
-Foi um jogo difícil, o Fluminense tratou como uma final, poderia ter poupado a equipe porque vinha de um jogo no meio de semana pela Copa do Brasil, mas entrou com força máxima, e nós, muito conscientes do que foi pedido pelo Abel, conseguimos um resultado bom, um ponto fora de casa e mantivemos a diferença com os adversários na classificação – ponderou o lateral, antes de concluir:
– Isso é importante para nos dar tranquilidade, porque já passamos pela série de confrontos diretos contra Fluminense, Corinthians e Flamengo. Então, passamos por essa sequência pesada e vejo como algo positivo, pois de nove pontos conseguimos fazer cinco.
O Palmeiras volta a treinar nesta segunda-feira, às 11h, na Academia de Futebol, para encerrar a preparação para enfrentar o Athletico-PR. Logo depois da atividade, o elenco almoça no CT e embarca para Curitiba, onde deve chegar no final da tarde. A partida está marcada para começar às 21h30, nesta terça, na Arena da Baixada.
