Abel explained Andric's absence in Palmeiras' classification in the Paulista semi-final
The main surprise at the start of Palmeiras' 1-0 victory over São Bernardo, on Saturday (11), in the Paulista quarter-finals, was the absence of striker Endrick. Typical of Verdão's starters, the 16-year-old not only started the match among the reserves, but also lost the game. In relation to the starting team, its choice is linked to a tactical reading made by the Palmeiras coach in relation to São Bernardo, which in its backbone plays in three defenses. According to Abel, playing with Rony and Endrick will benefit the ABC team's marking scheme.
