The Cycle Review, Amoroso, Fábio Luciano, and Zé Elias, delves into the details of his recent statements. Amoroso expressed bewilderment at Abel’s apparent oversight regarding the demanding match schedule.

Fábio Luciano probed deeper. He questioned whether Abel’s talents would be equally acknowledged and compensated elsewhere. Then he spoke more on the coach’s apparent busy schedule,

“This “full bag” bothers me. Because he talks about the “full bag” of Brazilian football, that’s what he said. No one puts a strap on his foot, no one stops him. We have our problems, as we have our virtues. I don’t know if he would be recognized elsewhere, or if he would have the same salary as Palmeiras. Negative scores, lots of positive things to be grateful for”

Then he critiques the coach for pointing fingers at the president and airing personal grievances publicly.

“He points the finger at the president a lot, and the president gives it to him. I’ve never seen Abel defend his boss. He is successful, he has a good salary. Palmeiras is trying to keep its promises, I’m not talking about the players, but structure, peace of mind, and autonomy when traveling. It’s a professional move because we need to make some corrections to our football, but there are a lot of personal things that he could keep to himself or address to the right. people, without telling the press”

Zé Elias introduces an intriguing perspective, suggesting that Abel’s public remarks might be a strategic diversion. Despite being contracted until 2024, uncertainty looms over Abel Ferreira’s future at Palmeiras, driven by dissatisfaction and the looming possibility of an early departure.
