Palmeiras coach spoke about managing expectations
Abel Ferreira spoke about Petit’s arrival in Brazil to coach Cuiabá, which is ranked last with no points or goals.
«He was a player who rose by force, it wasn’t at the expense of anything or anyone, not even favors, I like those types of people, who don’t need ‘wedges’ to get ahead in life. He is one of those people. I wish him all the best because I know him well enough to do so,” he began by saying.
Now of course, it’s a new challenge, crossing the Atlantic, coming to a club like Cuiabá, which I think will lose more often than win… sometimes the problem is managing expectations. It doesn’t fight for the same goals that Palmeiras fights for, which is why Palmeiras today was forced to win here. There is certainly one objective that Cuiabá must have, which is to maintain and try to repeat last year’s classification, but they lost important and very influential players in the team. The fans must help the coach’s integration and I hope they have a direction behind them that will help him in the most difficult moments”, he assessed.
