More information about everything

Portuguese Abel Ferreira dodged the question when asked about the possibility of a trade with Flamengo involving striker Dudu and Gabigol. The coach made a point of confirming that he still has Dudu on the team, explaining that he did not put him in the match against Bahia, this Sunday (07), due to tactical choice.I was aware of this issue regarding player transfers before the match. But I'm going to be rational with what I'm saying. I'm not going to talk about the theories of this soap opera. I've said several times that the issue of transfers is up to the board.” – Said Abel Ferreira in a press conference.

The Portuguese also highlighted the fact that no one gains a position in the team by name, that everyone must work hard to earn their place.We have to adapt. Our team is doing well. I'm not going to change a team that's doing well. Whoever arrives has to take their place. I don't give anyone a jersey. My athletes have privileges, they earn them. We have a short team and these three reinforcements are here to help us.” — Abel Ferreira concluded.
