Palmeiras are going through a tough period, with individual and collective errors contributing to their struggles. The team is not in last place in the Brasileirão 2026 and has not been eliminated from the Conmebol Libertadores. They will have the opportunity to turn their fortunes around on Wednesday, when they face Cerro Porteño in the Libertadores quarterfinals. A win for Palmeiras would secure their place in the quarterfinals, while a draw would lead to a penalty shootout.
Ferreira attributed the team's struggles to individual and collective errors, stating that they have not been playing well on natural grass fields. He expressed his support for the new rules of the game, but acknowledged that the team needs to do better and make fewer mistakes. Ferreira remains optimistic about their chances of turning their season around.
