It was scary how easy Palmeiras played when they lost coach Abel Ferreira last Saturday afternoon (15), against Cuiabá, in the first round of the Brazilian Championship. We've seen Verdão do well without Abel on the bench a few times. But we cannot deny that the Palmeiras team this season has been weak. The main released parts are not replaceable. And whoever is, has their powers contracted later and is in an adaptation period, which is what striker Artur is. Thus, the Verdão team has never been renewed in the hands of the Portuguese coach like it is now. And, naturally, young players need a reference on the bench: a coach.Analysis: Palmeiras needs a midfield, strong squad and Abel Ferreira
