For the Verdão president, winning the Libertadores title against Flamengo would be her greatest achievement in office.
The final match of the Libertadores Championship between Palmeiras and Flamengo was scheduled to start at six in the evening (Brasilia time), at the Monumental Stadium in Lima. He was 15 minutes late. This was due to traffic in the Peruvian capital, which was very confusing, meaning that the bus carrying Verdão’s delegation arrived late. Thus, CONMEBOL postponed the start of the match.
Leila Pereira, who was with the staff, recalled that everyone arrived very anxious, but they knew that the work had been done and that everyone was fully prepared. She stated that although her administration won seven titles, winning the Libertadores title would be special.
He said in an exclusive interview with ESPN: “All of my titles are important. But the most important thing is undoubtedly winning eighth place. It is the most important championship in America. Getting here is a great victory. It will be a great match against a great team and a final between two teams with very good management. If Miras wins, it will be a great achievement.”
Laila talks about the controversy with Abel Ferrera
She took the opportunity to address the controversy surrounding her statement regarding Abel Ferreira’s statements. After all, he put the potential loss to the Brazilian in the arbitration calculations. But the coach confirmed that the team did not show the same level as before in the last five matches. Thus, he lost important points. She also said that this is the opinion of all fans, but that does not mean that Abel does not have full respect for the club. Moreover, Leila reported that Palmeiras has become the key to the Copa Libertadores.
“One thing is the Brazilian League, another thing is the Libertadores. We have achieved the key and we are ready. I am sure the fans will realize that we deserve this title,” said Leila, who once again hinted that if Palmeiras wanted, he could run for a new term.
Anticipation of the Grand Final led the South American Federation to publish artwork featuring celebrities and cartoon characters. Others have numbered lines. A game to entertain fans who can identify each character in the illustration.
