See the coach's speech alviverde:
"This year will be against everything and everyone. News is often created, invented, leaders say this and that. This is just to generate news, it's false, bad, shallow journalism, It seems like I arrived here four days ago. I haven't been here for four days, I've been here for four years. players with me or the management, that's what I demand from others, respect. I won't respect anyone who doesn't respect me. I know those who do serious journalism very well, and I'm not saying that I'm perfect and I'm right in everything I do. recently, I've been right more than I've been wrong. But I apologize for the mistakes I made. Here it seems that everyone is perfect, and the managers, players and coaches are the incompetent ones. I will always stand up to defend my players, as I always have. A lot of things happened at the same time, and once again: this year will be against everything and everyone. I've already prepared the players for this."
What happened?
Palmeiras managed to "stop" the results crisis and managed to draw a draw against Internacional. The team had three defeats in the last three games and the draw, with a goal at the end of the match, alleviated the team's situation before the decisive game against Flamengo.
Abel Ferreira took advantage of the moment of relief to create a favorable environment for the team before the decision and inflamed the fans. The coach asked for the fans' conditional support from the first to the last second in the game against Flamengo.
"For those who are distracted, with bad intentions, opportunists, for those who are jealous of the team. Palmeiras, it is during these periods that we have to see who is on our side, who are those who want to continue to belong and help this group to continue to win. Strength has to come from within, we are all one, not just in victories. The coach's job is to choose the players to play, whether they like it or not, but I'm the one who has all the information. He is not a journalist, fan or opportunist. Our director's role is to help manage the group, sign players and sell players. Our president isn't even worth talking about. She is absolutely extraordinary, she has more courage than many combined. And our fans, the 16 million we have, who on Wednesday [against Flamengo] help us from the first to the last second to seek a place in the next phase", he added.
Abel used the motto for the first time again in April 2021. That year, Palmeiras chose to spare its starters in the Campeonato Paulista to use them in the Libertadores and had difficulty confirming its classification for the next phase of the State Championship. Abel even said that that year he would be "against everything and everyone".
Palmeiras ended the 2021 season with the Copa Libertadores title over Flamengo. Abel's motto became an echoing Palmeiras mantra. in the stands. Against the same Rubro-negro, Alviverde will need to reverse a 2-0 score to advance to the next stage in the Copa do Brasil.
"I don't only know teams that win, only coaches who win and only players who play well, nor perfect families. Our time has come to suffer together"
