On Friday afternoon (28/11), Palmeiras finished its preparations for the grand final of the Copa Libertadores da América. Coach Abel Ferreira led the latest action at the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva in Lima, Peru. The team has therefore made the final adjustments for the decisive match against Flamengo, which will be played on Saturday (29/11), at 6pm, at the Monumental “U” Stadium. The press was only able to watch the first 20 minutes of the action, which included tactical activities and traditional “rashaw” to calm the atmosphere before the decision.
The training sessions confirmed the pessimistic scenario for goalkeeper Weverton. The absolute position holder, who is recovering from injury, took to the field to succeed his colleagues, where he held a press conference before that. However, he only performed separate, specific exercises, away from the main group. Therefore, his absence from the starting lineup is taken for granted. In addition to him, Paulinho and Lucas Evangelista, who have been sidelined for a longer period, were also not involved in the action and are still out of action. The information is taken from the “ge” portal and has been confirmed before Play10.
Abel identifies Palmeiras’ potential starting line-up
Despite this, the technical staff took everyone to Lima to maintain team unity. Without his No. 21 shirt, Abel must confirm Carlos Miguel in goal. The coach designed the possible squad that would seek the trophy: Carlos Miguel; Kelvin, Murillo, Gustavo Gomez and Piquerez; Bruno Fuchs, Andreas Pereira and Rafael Vega; Alan, Flaco Lopez and Vitor Roque.
The main tactical uncertainty lies in the midfield positioning. Rafael Vega and Andreas Pereira are versatile and can switch creative and organizational roles during the 90 minutes.
The match carries enormous weight for the history of the Alverde club. After all, Palmeiras are looking for their fourth Copa Libertadores title. If Flamengo wins, Verdão will isolate itself as the Brazilian club with the most titles in continental competition, ahead of Santos, Sao Paulo, Gremio and this final’s opponent.
