Técnico do Verdão embodied a specialist in “Football Manager” and explained his preferences for the game. But the opinion of the Portuguese reverberated in this 3rd
Abel Ferreira He is already one of the greatest coaches in the history of the palm trees, perhaps of Brazilian football. In just over two years, the Portuguese has already collected seven titles, including two Libertadores, a Brazilian Championship and a Copa do Brasil. For all this, he has already been asked several times to return to the Old Continent.
In England, Brighton, owned by world champion Mac Allister, formalized a proposal to Abel in 2022, but the Portuguese player promptly refused. And speaking of the Premier League, an interview with the Palmeiras coach is making waves in Brazil this Carnival holiday.
In a chat with the English reporter Jack Kenmare, from the portal Coaches Voicethe Portuguese commented on the electronic game “Football Manager”, which consists of, from your personalized coach avatar, climbing your team, drawing up strategies for each game and still acting behind the scenes to transform your team into the best squad.
In other words, you have the power to make hires – often outside the reality of your team – and play at being the “manager” of the team at heart. Abel, then, admitted that the most complicated thing is knowing how to deal with clubs with less investment and an example set by the coach of Palmeiras took the spotlight. No, it is (Antonio) Conte?
Check the answer:
“My friends would pick clubs like Barcelona or Real Madrid where obviously you’re going to win. You can buy any player! The way I see it, the big challenge doesn’t come when you’re one of those teams, but when you’re competing against them, with fewer resources.
So, I coached (in Football Manager) always small teams. Second division teams, like Penafiel, in Portugal, where I started my playing career, or Braga. Or teams that never win titles, like Tottenham.”
