Abel Ferreira had a harsh diagnosis of what happened to the Mexican team in the Club World Cup

Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras coach, considered that the lack of humility was key in the defeat of Rayados against the Egyptian team Al Ahly.

The Brazilian team faced Al Ahly precisely after the latter eliminated Rayados and it was the South American team that got the best dividends to reach the final.

After the victory against the Africans, Abel Ferreira was satisfied because they were placed in the last instance of the international fair and from his point of view the victory was fair.

“I like to have balance and respect the opponent, but it was a fair victory and we are already a team that has won a lot and has been in many finals, in which we lose some and win others, but that is what gives us experience to be here again in a final,” he added.

Thus, while Palmeiras got their ticket to the final, Rayados closed this day their preparation for this Wednesday’s match, in which they will face Al Jazira in search of staying with fifth place in the Club World Cup.
