I know the calendar has games one after another. I am prepared. I just did the preseason on my former club and I feel ready to play, help the team and Palmeiras win once again Andreas Pereira, in an interview with TV Palmeiras.
Already Veiga has not played for Palmeiras since August 6, in the return game of the round of 16 of the Brazilian Cup against Corinthians. Abel Ferreira admitted after the last derby that the player played in the sacrede at other times and is now paying the bill.
Veiga is a key player in our team, but Brazilian football gives no respite to anyone. Absurd yield over the past 4 or 5 years, but there are many games in a row, often played with minor pain. The time came to stop and it was the best we did. It was not good for him or the club
The 30 -year -old midfielder even gave up his time off earlier this week and went to the Football Academy to advance the treatment of the injury. The athlete is in the end of recovery and wants to be available to the decisive games in Libertadores.
Veiga lives one of his worst seasons for Palmeiras, but the coaching staff still believes in the player. He played 33 games in the year (only 20 as a starter), scored three goals and gave seven assists.
Today, Maurício is the holder where he could play Veiga, but the former me midfielder does not live the same brightness as the first half-which made Abel put Veiga in the bench. Maurício lost a goal in his face in the derby, which could have changed the result of the match.
