Up. FORA OO. The most important titles he won is 2 brasileiraos..and it was 15 years ago...he's not suitable for us. We didn't score a single goal in the last three matches (joinville, goias and the great ASA). And, surprise, who played those three games? Valdivia. Chinelo and OO must leave or i will go to allianz next time and invade the pitch naked.
Yea but the final 3rd play has been a problem since the paulistao and I think oo deserves most the blame. He has already resorted to his tactic of complaining about the squad and saying he needs reinforcements. Kind of a tough argument to make after you guys brought in 20 plus players but the man has no shame.
Ze roberto is an absolute beast at 42, he still seems as quick as half the youngsters. Just seen him have a burst down the left side against Sao Paulo. ...incredibly fit. Did he retire from the nt after 2006?, or has he been ignored ever since because of his age??
Al-Hilal played a decent game against Chelsea but lost 1x0. Palmeiras will certainly have a chance to beat them, especially with Abel making the team play so well in key matches. Final is Saturday. Good luck to Palmeiras.
Didn't catch the 2nd half (only caught first 20-30 mins), but looking at the highlights, Al Hilal had some good chances to score. And from what I hear, they were able to pressure Chelsea in their own field in the 2nd half. They didn't look like a bad team at all. Lots of speed and decent passing. Sad to say, but I don't think we can honestly do that to Chelsea. We will live and die for by the counter.
Sad. Chelsea was there for the taking. A little more quality and we could have had them on the counter. So many bad passes and bad decisions breaking the counter but nothing I haven't seen over the years with this squad. They've clearly over achieved.
You should be proud of what this team did. It was the first CONMEBOL finalist to score against the UEFA champion in more than 10 years and it played igual pra igual. Losing always hurts, but your team lost due to a very unfortunate play where Luan lost his composure. If your team's diretoria does things right, Palmeiras will contend for the Libertadores yet again. That's no smal feat.
A good showing. I think most people felt Chelsea were a good matchup for whoever came out of the Libertadores. I just don't want to hear anymore "de igual pra igual" jokes.
