Palmeiras could see a meeting with Portuguese opponents as a good omen when they start their FIFA 2025 Club World Cup Program against Porto in New Jersey on Sunday.
The earliest Brazilian representatives who won a version of the competition, then known as the Intercontinental Cup, did so against Benfica in 1962, when Pele scored two of Santos’s goals in a 3-2 victory in La Maracana.
Only the total of 13 titles from Spain to the two tournaments overshadow the ten triumphs taken into account by Brazil, who are also represented by Botafogo, Flamengo and Fluminense in the United States this time.
The side of the Portuguese head Abel Ferreira is at three points in the rhythm in the first Brazilian flight after 11 games of the season, and the midfielder Mauricio believes that Palmeiras could have an advantage over the “worn” teams after the end of their household schedules.
“This could be a positive factor for Brazilian teams,” said the 23 -year -old. “We always want to show that we have a very high level.
“Abel requires us a lot and we demand a lot from each of us. You can see that our training sessions are very intense, very competitive. There is a lot of competition among the players.”
Porto completed his mixed season almost a month ago, ending third for a second consecutive year in the Primeira Liga to qualify again for Europa League, in which they did not get the tie phase in 2024/25.
Argentine Martin Anselmi replaced Vitor Bruno to the manager in January after the club finished the six -month reign of his predecessor.
“We are talking about two truly large clubs,” Ze Pedro said in the center Porto website. “We will approach with the utmost respect, but we want to win.
“The feeling has been very good. The group responded very well to what the coach has asked.
“We always seek victory because it is what we are done and it is what we live. We have to honor the story of Porto.”
Gustavo Gomez, Luiz Benedetti, Joaquin Piquerez, Emiliano Martinez, Richard Rios, Facundo Torres, Estevao and Luighi had their “controlled load” during Palmeiras’s training after joining the late squad, as he said late, according to the squad. Globe.
The departure reported that Gomez, Benedetti and Rios were “the most worn” and did not participate in the “work focused on the defensive organization and counterattacks”.
The goalkeepers Samuel Portugal and Goncalo Ribeiro were late in Porto’s workforce after Diogo Costa lost some of the training with muscle discomfort in the first choice of the right thigh.
