Abel vs. Media: Criticism & Accusations

This time, coach Abel Ferreira did not criticize the refereeing. The team won 3-1 against Ceará. After finishing the Brasileirão in second place and losing the Libertadores to Flamengo, the coach decided to cry his prayers with the reformulation of the squad, with the departures and arrivals of athletes, and all the good things he does “alone” at the club, such as revealing players from the base.

Abel’s narratives

He said he paid his former club in Greece to come to Brazil, but did not comment on the R$31 million that Palmeiras had to pay on his behalf in the FIFA process for having signed a contract with a club in Qatar. Abel also writes his narratives. Some out of time.

This Sunday, Abel abused what he likes most after accusing the referees: accusing journalists. He even accused the press of Vitor Roque’s bad phase when the boy arrived from Spain, on loan from Barcelona to Betis. The Portuguese coach understands that the media should work for the club and help boost the morale of its athletes. But he is kind when the question praises his work. It is not the press’ job to boost anyone’s morale. Journalists report, observe, analyze, interview, and are critical of the facts…

Abel once again placed the blame for this year’s Palmeiras campaign on external actors, such as journalists / Palmeiras

He said that 25% of journalists “are” from Palmeiras and 75% “are against it”. You are completely mistaken, unless you have proof of it. It’s yet another accusation without evidence, it seems. Abel treats all journalists the same way. Information is serious business. Journalism is a serious profession. He doesn’t name the “oxen” because he doesn’t have the courage. Chat with your own buttons.

It’s the same as putting all the technicians in the same basket. And they don’t deserve to be in the same basket. He was wrong to abandon the Brasileirão with the connivance of the management. Therefore, everyone made a mistake.

The base has always existed at the club

Abel is tarnishing the name of the Palm trees as an institution. He says what he wants in his interviews, he presents himself as if everything good about Palmeiras was because of him and everything bad was because of others. It goes over directors and club professionals. Diverts focus. Even before he arrived in Brazil, Palmeiras’ base already existed. There are serious and competent professionals at Academia II. Endrick and Estêvão were already promising, with or without Abel.

At no point did he analyze his work in the final stretch of the season, the team’s mistakes and successes. The coach lacks a narrative closer to reality than what all fans have seen this year. Everyone has successes and mistakes. Except Abel.
