Casagrande em entrevista para podcast (Reprodução – YouTube)
Walter Casagrande não classifica o Flamengo como o detentor do melhor momento no futebol brasileiro, e sim o Palmeiras. Em texto publicado após triunfo do alviverde sobre o Bolívar, nesta quinta (15), pela Libertadores, ele enalteceu os palestrinos, classificando-o como o ‘time do momento’.
Na avaliação dele, a equipe alviverde parece ter se reinventado depois de algumas saídas e de uma movimentação intensa no mercado da bola, onde mais de R$ 430 milhões foram investidos em reforços de peso.
“Mais uma vitória desse Palmeiras de Abel Ferreira, que parece estar se tornando dominante no ano de 2025. É o time brasileiro mais competitivo, com uma força mental e um foco impressionante, que talvez seja isso o principal trabalho do Abel”, iniciou Casagrande.
“Mas é incrível como ele conseguiu, em cinco meses, fazer essa nova equipe ter a mesma força mental e já ser tão competitiva como nos anos anteriores. O time do momento na América do Sul, sem dúvida alguma, é o Palmeiras”, complementou o ex-jogador.
Casagrande elenca pontos fortes do Verdão
Ainda no texto opinativo, Casagrande destacou a qualidade que o treinador português tem à disposição para trabalhar, com jogadores decisivos e importantes em todos os setores do campo, e o ‘cardápio’ de opções que o multicampeão agora ostenta no elenco palestrino.
Nos comentários, ele frisou a segurança que Weverton e Lomba trazem, enalteceu o sistema defensivo com os zagueiros e laterais sendo destacados, citou a versatilidade do meio-campo, e como a equipe se fortaleceu após as contratações no comando ofensivo.
Liderança geral garantida
Com a vitória sobre o Bolívar, o Palmeiras saltou para os 15 pontos e atingiu o objetivo de alcançar a melhor campanha geral da Libertadores, de forma antecipada. O time de Abel Ferreira ainda enfrentará o Sporting Cristal em casa, mas independente do resultado, já não pode ser mais atingido.
Neste cenário, o Verdão garante o direito de em todos os jogos que for realizar no mata-mata, ter o Allianz Parque como ‘trunfo’ no segundo jogo eliminatório.

The Bay Bridge Series is gone, and it’s only going to get worse: Brisbee
In 1999, then-MLB commissioner Bud Selig tweaked the format of interleague play to give the world more Giants-A’s games every season. For several years, it put both teams at a competitive disadvantage, as they were often contending teams at the same time, but few complained. There were two Major League Baseball teams separated by a small body of water. On a clear day, you could see one ballpark from the upper deck of the other ballpark, and everyone had at least one friend who cared more about the other team, which made it a perfect low-stakes rivalry. Let them play. Let their fans have some fun.AdvertisementIn order for MLB to get the regional rivalry series, other teams had to pretend they had a rivalry — Brewers-Twins being a personal favorite — to balance out the schedule. Again, few people minded. […]
