The wait is over for Palmeiras. Their squad is finally whole, just in time for the Club World Cup. The team’s been waiting for players who were busy with World Cup qualifiers.
Sunday’s match against FC Porto in New Jersey is just around the corner. Palmeiras got a boost when key players arrived in Greensboro, North Carolina. Gustavo Gómez, Richard Ríos, Emiliano Martínez, Piquerez, Facundo Torres, and Estêvão are among those who landed after a long journey. They flew in on the team president’s private plane, according to Globoesporte.
Now coach Abel Ferreira has his full roster of 29 players. This is a big deal, especially since they’re about to take on a tough opponent.
The Squad is Complete
The team’s been training, but it’s not the same without all the players. Now they can focus on the task at hand: taking on FC Porto.
The players who just arrived will have to get acclimated quickly. They’ll need to be ready to go on Sunday.
Getting Ready for the Big Match
Palmeiras’ coaching staff will have their work cut out for them. They need to get the new arrivals up to speed, and fast. The team’s success depends on it.
