Veron highlighted the importance of winning titles always and expressed his happiness with the coach’s confidence in a decisive match.
Winning titles is always important, and I am happy to get a start in such an important match. “I keep working hard and with full focus on this year’s sequence, this is just the beginning of the season and we know we need to do everything we can to honor this jersey and gain space in the Abel team,” said the academy daughter.
Palmeiras turns his attention back to Campeonato Paulista. Verdau’s next match will be on Sunday (06), against Guarani, at 16:00 (Brasilia), at Allianz Parque. The match is valid for the tenth round of the state championship.
