Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira comments at the press conference after winning the Copa Libertadores. Ferdao beat Flamengo 2-1.
Abel Ferreira will publish a book about his journey in these two years in Brazil: “My coaching team and I are preparing a book about our work. It is a way in which I can thank Brazilian football. I will be preparing a book, and it will be published in January.”
Weighted calendar and future: “There is a lot of room for us to improve Brazilian football. I have already said that the calendar is inhumane. [sobre ficar no Palmeiras]. I’m grateful, but I have to think. I can’t go to the extreme with “game, exercise, game”. What they are doing here in Brazil is inhumane.”
Praise the flamingo: “Our opponent appreciates our victory more, he appreciates the mountain we climbed. I am a humble person, I work to do my best.”
About Renato Gaucho, Flamengo coach: “Renato is one of the best coaches in Brazilian football. It’s not about starting to beat the man. I might also lose. They have to stop looking for a champion and a villain. Our opponent appreciates our victory more.”
Do your best for Palmeiras: “I am in a club that offers all the conditions for success. Destiny brought us here. With the players, we made history. I’m not always enough for the fans, but we always give our best.”
Still about the future: “I grew up used to doing more with less. I’m not a coach who clings to problems, I find solutions. I do what I love with passion, joy, and often tiring. I’m at the limit of my mind. I need to take care of my physical and mental health.”
