O Palmeiras venceu o Vasco neste domingo (01), na Nubank Parque, no jogo de ida da semifinal da Copa do Brasil, e o volante Marlon Freitas fez questão de valorizar o resultado. Ele participou do único gol da partida, marcado por Maurício.
O camisa 17 afirmou que a equipe soube neutralizar o adversário e comemorou o desempenho coletivo.
“Primeiro agradecer a Deus pela oportunidade! Sobre o jogo, eu acho que a gente fez um bom primeiro tempo, com muito volume, controlamos bem o jogo, tirando a transição do Vasco que é um time muito rápido na frente”, explicou.
Para ele, a vantagem conquistada precisa ser valorizada, ainda que o time pudesse ter ampliado pelo volume de chances criadas.
“Vamos valorizar o resultado, pela vantagem, mas pelo volume que criamos poderia ser mais. Temos que ser gratos, a equipe fez um grande jogo, agora virar a chave, agora é o Campeonato Brasileiro já na semana, para gente voltar a vencer, em busca do nosso objetivo. Temos que valorizar a entrega e a dedicação”, avaliou.
O próximo compromisso é pelo Brasileirão: o Palmeiras recebe o Remo na quinta-feira, dia 05, com início marcado para 19:30 (de Brasília), pela 34ª rodada, no Nubank Parque. A volta da semifinal contra o Vasco será em São Januário, no domingo, 08 de novembro, a partir das 17:00.
