After 11 years we’re the champions of São Paulo since 1996. We had to wait Luxemburgo come back to celebrate other Paulistão. The crowd has already knew about the title before 1 PM every palestrino scream out “Chiqueiro, é festa no chiqueiro”.
The final match was incredibly easy even Sérgio Guedes had lain about their line-up to say that Elias, César “pé frio” and Leandro were not in conditions to play.

Tags: Palmeiras is out of Brazil Cup

Palmeiras played with presumption and did practically nothing. Sport with only one good player did a huge damage in Palmeiras, Romerito is his name, has played for 8 clubs in their career among Corinthians and Goiás without big attention. He arrived at Recife in the last year. On last Wednesday he shone more than everyone did 3 of 4 Sport’s goals.
For us it was a humiliation because we lost to a club of Northeast and lost the opportunity of to confirm our spot in Libertadores Cup, now is to wait to the Brasileirão.

Like i had said in previous post Palmeiras reached the final with magnificent victory 2-0. 1st one the goalkeeper made a howler and 2nd one on the counter-attack El Mago finished São Paulo FC. Luxemburgo on 100th match as coach at Palestra Itália won for 84th time. For me Henrique was the best man on the pitch but São Marcos played very very well too.
Even journalists, players and team managers of both clubs tried to spread the “peace” among supporters. Unsuccessful because at half time someone threw pepper gas at são-paulino locker room.

Unfortunately…

Unfortunately we lost to São Paulo FC, though with 2 irregular goals scored by Adriano. The 1st one was a volleyball pass, a “manchete” like we say in Brazil, but only the referee and the lineswoman didn’t see because they weren’t well positioned. The 2nd one he was fouled on Pierre, but there is discussion.
São Paulo FC was able to neutralize Palmeiras. Joílson and Jorge Wagner blocked off both sides and in this way Élder Granja and Leandro couldn’t progress with liberty. Zé Luís was like a tick on Valdívia but El Mago didn’t seek the ball.
Just to complete the schedule

The match against Barueri was boring for my side, of course, Barueri still had a chance to qualify but it needed for other results like defeats of Ponte Preta and Corinthians. Corinthians lost (is not a surprise) to Noroeste at Bauru but Ponte Preta got a draw at Santos.
We got 10th straight wins currently Verdão has the biggest invincibility in Brazil already are 14 undefeated games.
Even Barueri started better in the match still dreaming to be in the semi-finals. They kept possession ball in a 1st half. Palmeiras had few good moments.
We’re in 3rd knockout round

Palmeiras played very well over two sides with Élder Granja e Leandro switched play all time. The team suffered a bit of pressure from Central in the beginning of the game around 10′-15′ with Leonardo and Cláudio but after that Verdão showed them a good spectacle.
Luxemburgo changed the starting line-up, he put Denílson beside Kléber instead of our topscorer Alex Mineiro. We gained velocity but we lost the reference in the middle of the penalty area.
Leandro on a counter-attack by right-hand controlled the ball until the penalty area when shot it hit the post and Kléber with a clinical finish put 0-1 on the scoreboard at 18′.
At 42′ in a dead-ball situation Élder Granja put it in the Valdívia’s head and goal! His 8th goal in this season. Valdívia show us who also is a great header.
At 56′ in a unpretentious corner-kick Williams crossed hit Léo Lima and entered in the goal but referee gave the goal to Williams from Central.
Central motivate itself crossed a lot of balls but it can’t equalised.
At 80′ Martinez in a perfect free-kick did it one more. Remembering Martinez entered in Diego Souza’s position who didn’t anything.
Before end of match Martinez and Valdívia suffered 2 penalties that Alex Mineiro shot and did it both, one at 85′ and other at 88′, this last one Humberto was sent off for receiving the 2nd yellow card.
Now we wait for Sport Recife or Brasiliense 1st leg was 1-2 for Sport at Brasília.

Palmeiras reach the leadership of the competition (momentarily) after to defeat Portuguesa but now we have 34 pts. and 10 victories against Guaratinguetá has 34 pts. and 11 victories.
But it was hard just at injury time 90+3′ Preá scored the goal. Alex Mineiro lost a lot of goals but he wasn’t the only one.
"With full stadium, it was very beautiful. The team fought pretty much and didn't deserve leave with draw."
J. Preá
We get the road to the finals

Yeah! It’s right this sentence above. After 15 games playing unsteadily - win once, draw twice, loss once - Palmeiras with 4 wins straight and doesn’t defeat since Feb. 6th 0-3 Guaratinguetá.
Since 1997 Palmeiras doesn’t win the King Clash in State Championships last time was 1-0 goal scored by Viola.
