Palmeiras lost 2-0 to Cruzeiro, this Saturday (1), and a scene in which coach Abel Ferreira allegedly pushes a cameraman viralized. The coach defended himself and criticized the recurrence of the excessively close presence of cameras to leave the reserve bank.
The case occurred when he left the bank and went to the locker room. According to Abel, this is not the first time it is disturbed by cameras.
“And by the way that I have been here for three years, as I know you like to comment, I will anticipate. This is not the first, neither the second, nor the third time. Whenever I leave the bank, there is a camera in front of me. It happened against Sao Paulo, and today the same thing happened, and I face the camera,” Abel started.
On the way out of the field after the defeat to Cruzeiro, Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira pushed a “Prime Video” cameraman on his way to the locker room.

“Last year, it also happened. It seems that they want to be inside my pocket or my bank. Today, when I went out, as they would no longer have images, I excuse me, because when the game is over, I go straight to the locker room. If at least they leave my way so I don’t have to dodge, the cameraman has to deflect.”
Abel also recalled the expulsion against Sao Paulo for the Brazilian Championship, and again criticized the proximity of cameramen to the reserve bank.
“Against Sao Paulo, when I was expelled, you can see, and is the cameraman 2 meters from the bank. Is this possible? Is it admitted? It can happen? If not, it can not be there, which is then not to come here to create more confusion,” he continued.
“I repeat, not the first time, is not the second, not the third, but this happens more often. I don’t know why, it’s because it is the Abel? And not to talk about it or that, he doesn’t have to be positioned in the right place, next to or behind the coach of Palmeiras,” he concluded.
