It bleeds my heart when I see some fans booing towards some players. I want to remember Rony, who today is loved by everyone and everything, but before he was booed. If they are the outsiders [jogadores rivais], I understand. Even today I was asking who that Bragantino number 5 was, who was here at Palmeiras, who is still our player. He played an absolutely extraordinary game Abel Ferreira, in a press conference after the 2-0 victory against RB Bragantino, in February this year, in the Campeonato Paulista.
The ‘5 shirt’ mentioned by Abel Ferreira was Matheus Fernandes, a midfielder loaned by Palmeiras to the Bragança team. He wasn’t Red Bull Bragantino’s number 5 in that game, but he had a great game playing as the first midfielder. Alviverde tried to bring the athlete back, but the loan contract made the move impossible.
The teams face each other today, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Nabi Abi Chedid stadium, for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.
