The probable departure of Luis Castrodo Botafogofor the Al-Nasrfrom Saudi Arabia, reverberated at the press conference of the palm trees. The coach Abel Ferreira was asked about the situation this Thursday night (29/6), after the 4-0 victory over Bolívarfor the Libertadores-2023and also explained why it remains in Brazil.
– I own my soul and captain of my destiny, I do what I want, what I like, where I want. I know how difficult it is to win here, losing two games everyone questions, questions whether the coach leaves or not. I like experiences, being here, I love the employees at Palmeiras. Palmeiras really is an oasis in the desert, the way it thinks, which has a well-organized project, competent people in all decisions. Once they asked Guardiola why he didn’t leave Manchester City, because he is where he wants to be, where people recognize him, where he has a voice, and it’s true that he is the second highest paid coach in the world – said Abel Ferreira.
– These are decisions that have to do with each one. I know the question is for coaches who decide to leave Brazil, but you have to remember that when the coach is down… See what the fans and journalists do to them. When the coach is on top, something appears that they like and want to go, they have the right to say that they know how things work in Brazil, the press and the fans, that when they lose two games they will say that the coach does not greet the opponent… It’s normal to go to a championship, I don’t know if it’s better, worse or different, but it’s normal to say “see you later” because this here (Brazilian football) has two faces. Fortunately my club only has one, the one that stays the most in Brazil is Palmeiras – summed up the coach.
In the interview, Abel Ferreira also asked to comment on an episode that took place in Palmeiras 0 x 1 Botafogowhen he was accused of having refused to shake hands with Luís Castro after the game.
– Before I start, I want to make a parenthesis. Whenever the game is over, I head towards the tunnel, ever since I arrived at Palmeiras. Let that be clear. For those who do shallow journalism, I always do this. So as not to leave anyone in doubt. I greet my opponent, sometimes, at the beginning, but in the end I always leave. That was the introduction I wanted to make to shallower journalism, some shallower commentators, so as not to create confusion where it doesn’t exist. I have admiration for Luís Castro, we spoke after the game. Don’t create controversy where none exists. – he requested.
