O Palmeiras faces Chelseathis Friday, July 4, at 10 pm GMT, for the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. Abel Ferreira will need to make changes because of embezzlement. In addition, Verdon will have a new captain in the match, as Gustavo Gómez is out of the game.
Abel Ferreira gave evidence on Thursday that he will climb Vanderlan in place of Piquerez, as well as the defender with Fuchs and Micael. The coach warned that Weverton will be the team captain.
– Our captain has been the Gomez, so it’s an opportunity for Fuchs and Micael to show confidence. I don’t really like giving the armband to the goalkeeper, because to talk to the referee now I would have to move. But the captain is Weverton, he is our 1 – he said.
