Opinion – Juca Kfouri: The unbearability of the palmeirense and the impressive security of the Palmeiras team

The mental security of the Palmeiras team is impressive.

What Abel Ferreira and his coaching staff achieve in the players’ behavior is commendable.

They don’t seem to have a bad time, nor are they losing by two goals away from home to a powerful opponent, nor are they facing, with two players less, the same rival a week later.

If we look at some athletes, then the bewilderment and admiration increase.

Let’s leave Weverton’s coldness and competence out of it, because he was always like that, only at Corinthians they didn’t notice when he was there at age 20, in 2006/07, coming from Acre.

Because even sheriff Gustavo Gómez delivers much more to Palestra than to the Paraguay national team.

The previously irritable Dudu became a squad man, kills himself on the field, appears in every corner, is an arrow and a bow at the same time, scores goals and gives passes to goal in the same measure.

Is Raphael Veiga still not like he was before he got hurt? Well, Gustavo Scarpa pays double.

It is true that Felipe Melo’s devil got down on Danilo, who is not violent, and he did what he did, out of control.

Ron, however, is the best example. It deserves a statue at the main gate of the Água Branca Club.

Because you rarely see a player bending over backwards to fulfill the role assigned to him like the…forward…spearhead…left winger…right…wingman?

Rony is a tribute to perspiration, of those who run after inspiration like they do, with their legs or on a bicycle.

Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro have better squads than Palmeiras.

Galo proved to be mentally weak in clashes with both red-black and alviverde.

The team from Gávea is on the rise and will have to show, in the next round, the 23rd, as a visitor, maturity and talent to defeat the leader of the Brazilian Championship, almost an early final, although there are still so many rounds to go. You will have to be patient and insistent and never miss the chance to settle the game. Because the Palmeiras team and, for some time now, its fans, never give up, really, much more than mere propaganda.

That peanut crowd, those others who criticized even in rout, disappeared.

Now, he plays together and is able to play not the 12th player, but, as in the case of the game against Galo, the 11th and, after Scarpa’s unfair expulsion, the 10th and 11th.

Fulfilled their role inside the stadium, outside it there is tolerance for the size of the annoyance that the Palmeiras are capable of.

They are boring, boring, really boring.

Like Corinthians, Santos, São Paulo, Flamengo, Colorado, Cruzeiro, when they are on top. That!

The fan is first and foremost a bore.

It is said that the Palmeiras team makes humility and resilience two of its main virtues.

The fan, on the contrary, finds himself and, between us, he has a reason to find himself.

This text was written before the Derby in Itaquera.

There is no envy in it, not least because it is written by those who have Mundial —two, in fact…(laughs).

There is, yes, a tenuous, very simple hope that Corinthians will resurrect in the classic and lower the crest of rivals.

Because dreaming doesn’t pay tax. If, however, the most likely happens, don’t be surprised by the rare reader and the rare reader the absence of the column on Monday.
