Palmeiras continues its journey in the 2024 season and is preparing for a decisive duel against Botafogo, after all, the match that will be played this Wednesday (17), at the Nilton Santos Stadium, has the leadership of the competition at stake .
For the duel against Botafogo, Palmeiras will once again need good performances from goalkeeper Weverton. Verdão's number 21 has been making good appearances and scored the goal against Atlético Goianiense and against Bahia.
Weverton has many titles with Alviverde. In total, the goalkeeper has 3 Brazilian Championships, 4 São Paulo championships, a Copa do Brasil, Recopa Sul-Americana and Super Copa do Brasil and two Libertadores.
And one of the Libertadores that Weverton most enjoyed winning was that of 2001. This is because Alviverde beat Flamengo, their biggest rival from 2015 to now, with Gabigol's direct provocation throughout the game in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Weverton revealed in an interview with the TNT Sports channel that Gabigol, after scoring the equalizer against Flamengo in the decision, called the goalkeeper and stated that he would score the second goal and consequently the goal that would give Rubro-Negro the title. However, this did not end up happening to the delight of the Palmeiras fans.
“I went to the Seleção with him several times. He was always respectful to me. We have all the rivalry between Palmeiras and Flamengo for everything the teams have achieved in recent years and he is one of their protagonists. And when we won the Libertadores we scored a goal very early, it was very quick and after that he kept getting the ball from the goal kick and I left it”, said the archer who concluded.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.
The club goes to the market

"Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
