Palmeiras players Flaco López and Marlon Freitas have stressed the need for defensive adjustments, improvements in finishing, and more composure in the final third of the field. The team's next game is against Cerro Porteño, which they drew 1-1 against in the first leg. Palmeiras will visit Cerro Porteño on Wednesday at 7pm in Assunção, needing a win to advance.
The players believe that the team's protagonist posture was shown in the first game and needs to be repeated. However, they also need to correct details and improve in the final third of the field. The team will have a final training session on Tuesday morning at the Academia de Futebol before embarking on the journey to Assunção in the afternoon.
