His interview earlier this week also points in that direction. Maikon Leite is a game changer when he comes on. If only his speed could be matched by ability, [...]

With no competitions in the next six weeks or so, the squad has been sent on vacation. Players report back on 4 January. No matches means fewer post here at Anything Palmeiras, although I’d recommend you not to stay away too much; you’ll learn there’s plenty of action to write home about even during holidays. [...]

There are very few more efficient ways for releasing pre-game tension than reading about Palmeiras! Pierre in progress For the first time in three months, Pierre on Monday was seen on the pitch working the ball. The recovery of our midfield warrior is long awaited; the surgery (due to a nasty and persistent plantar fasciitis) [...]
