00:00Pomeiras played their best match in the current edition of the Copa Libertadores, thrashing Junior Barranquilla here at Allianz Parque.
00:06But they finished second in Group F and now may face some tough challenges in the Libertadores.
00:12like Flamengo, their opponent in the last final, and their rival Corinthians, who also secured first place in their group.
00:19key.
00:20On the field, the main standouts, of course, were John Arias and Flaco Lopes.
00:24He, who minutes before the ball rolled here at Allianz, was called up to defend the Argentine national team,
00:30The announcement that he will be one of the 26 representatives of the current world champions at the World Cup was celebrated at Allianz Parque.
00:36And it even left a certain air of doubt when he was replaced.
00:40He took the opportunity to applaud the fans enthusiastically, who reciprocated all the affection shown by the Argentinian striker.
00:46He left the stadium to a standing ovation from the crowd present here at Allianz Parque.
00:51So, who knows, we'll see, it also depends on Argentina's campaign, on Flaco Lopes' performances,
00:57whether or not he returns for the second semester.
00:59What we were able to ascertain after the game is that Palmeiras has no plans to break up.
01:04of the players.
01:05Sure, if some kind of irresistible offer comes along, something around 40 or 50 million reais,
01:11Then the story is different, the parties sit down to talk and Palmeiras would also have the money and time.
01:16to try and replace the team's top scorer this season.
01:19Here are some more statistics about Flaco Lopes: he has 14 goals and now 10 assists.
01:24So he achieved the double-double in the first half of the year.
01:26Flaco Lopes had a very strong first half of the season and justified his call-up to the national team.
01:32From Argentina.
01:33So now, another standout player, John Arias, who was also called up, scored two goals.
01:37He, who was a little engine on the field in the first half,
01:40The match was decided in the first 45 minutes, when Palmeiras scored to make it 3-1.
01:45So, also a highlight for them, I found that to be one of the only negative points of this match.
01:49It was the delay by coach Abel Ferreira in replacing some players.
01:53Palmeiras were already winning by 4 goals early in the second half.
01:57could have rotated some players, several hard tackles from the opposing team here at Allianz Parque,
02:03So Abel Ferreira ran a certain risk, either of losing some players for the upcoming matches,
02:08For this game against Chapecoense, Palmeiras, which already has more than a full team of players unavailable,
02:12Or perhaps some player could even lose the World Cup.
02:17Now, regarding Palmeiras' planning, they will explain some more details tomorrow.
02:21The cast will be going on vacation in the next few days.
02:24This is also largely due to the extended schedule that Palmeiras will face.
02:28In the final stretch of the year, I'm still in contention for all competitions.
02:31So Palmeiras will take the opportunity to give a few days off.
02:33And then, on the return leg, what will Palmeiras do?
02:35He's going to do activities here in Brazil, he's planning to schedule some friendly matches.
02:39The club even considered leaving the country to play a series of friendly matches.
02:44travel, do an exchange program,
02:45But the management felt it was best to remain here at the Football Academy facilities.
02:49Use this time to train.
02:52Meanwhile, Palmeiras will have seven players called up for international duty.
02:55Now confirmed, Emiliano Martínez is another name confirmed for the World Cup.
02:59So, without those seven players, Palmeiras will have to rely more on players from their youth academy.
03:03And there is even the possibility of Eduardo Conceição,
03:06one of the main highlights of the youth category,
03:09And he, who was even suspended in a rather regrettable episode on the part of CONMEBOL,
03:14He responded to an act of racism by imitating a monkey when he scored an own goal against Argentina.
03:18He was suspended for four months, and the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) will appeal the decision.
03:22But Eduardo Conceição, who may not play again this year,
03:25He will be integrated into the Palmeiras squad to undergo trials.
03:29Palmeiras advanced with 11 points.
03:31Serro Portenho also won their match and reached 13 points.
03:34and now awaits the CONMEBOL draw to find out its next opponent.
03:38The only certainty for Palmeiras at the moment is that they have a game against Chapecoense.
03:42On Sunday, it will maintain its lead in Brazil.
03:44Regardless of the result against Chapecoense,
03:47and that they will also face one of the teams from the Libertadores pot,
03:51and decide the standings away from home.
03:54Abel Ferreira also added something during the press conference,
03:58saying that, yes, the goal was to finish first,
04:00including having the best campaign, the best overall campaign in the group stage of the Libertadores,
04:05but that the first objective, the one he set at the beginning of the season,
04:08which was to qualify, was achieved.
04:10He said that Palmeiras plays very well away from home.
04:14Yes, he's right about that, especially this season.
04:17And that the opponents will be just as scared as Palmeiras.
04:21whoever you face.
04:23Palmeiras, yes, behind the scenes they are trying to avoid some of these more direct rivals.
04:27Flamengo is playing against Corinthians, but they're drawing lots, drawing lots,
04:31We'll find out in the next few days who Palmeiras will be facing.
04:33In these round of 16 matches, we're on our way to another Libertadores final.
04:37Palmeiras, who were finalists last season, lost to Flamengo.
04:40Now try to get your revenge this season.
04:43and win their fourth Libertadores title, their fourth championship,
04:46and that would also give Abel Ferreira his third title,
04:49and the first for Leila Pereira as president of Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras.
