After a 0-0 draw against Botafogo, the coach Abel Ferreira discussed with journalist Pedro Marquesin the press conference.
The question raised by the reporter was the amount of balls launched in the area and the low effectiveness of the model. The one did not like the question, claiming that 80% of the goals originate from intersections, either under, from the top, backwards.
See the conversation
Pedro Marques: We follow Palmeiras this season, also at the end of last year, is a team that invests in Undividual Bids with Estevão and crosses many balls in the area. Don’t you think there is a lack of repertoire? Isn’t it too little for this Palmeiras team due to the quality of players and their working time here in Brazil?
Abel Ferreira: How was the move of? Of the goal that failed?
Pedro Marques: A cross.
Abel Ferreira: As?
Pedro Marques: It was a cross and the Lopez wins in front.
Abel Ferreira: It was a pass, it was a release. How was the spectacular goal yesterday?
I think you should analyze Palmeiras, not the other teams
Abel Ferreira: I analyze the way the most goal is and for you to know, which is a reporter and have to know, 80% of goals are made of crossing combinations. Or low, or 2 against 1, or backwards. This is how we do, that’s what we did all these years and we will continue to do.
Pedro Marques: But isn’t Palmeiras stop working the ball on the floor to cross many balls? It seems that it is a team that does not work to play Palmeiras.
Abel Ferreira: It’s your opinion, I understand, it’s your opinion.
