Ao analisar os desfalques que o Palmeiras terá para o confronto com o Chelsea nesta sexta-feira (4), em jogo decisivo das quartas de final da Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa, no Lincoln Financial Field, na Filadélfia, às 22h (de Brasília), o ex-jogador Casagrande indicou uma formação que pode ajudar o técnico Abel Ferreira a manter o time competitivo e também seguro.
Em participação no UOL News Esporte, no YouTube, nesta quinta-feira (3), o comentarista esportivo avaliou as prováveis entradas dos zagueiros Bruno Fuchs e Micael, além do lateral-esquerdo Vanderlan, nas vagas dos titulares Gustavo Gómez (suspenso), Murilo (lesionado) e Piquerez (suspenso) para formar a escalação titular do Verdão diante do time inglês.
“Eu acho que o Abel pode entrar com três zagueiros (de origem) e com Giay e Vanderlan como dois alas. E jogar num esquema 3-5-2 contra o Chelsea. Mas não é um 3-5-2 defensivo, é um esquema de suporte ao Vanderlan e para a zaga que vai ser improvisada (com reservas)”, iniciou Casão, explicando que o time ficaria mais protegido na defesa e mesmo assim com força no ataque..
“Se vai improvisar dois zagueiros e o lateral-esquerdo não é o titular, com risco de ter um queda emocional ou desconforto por falta de entrosamento, eu entraria assim e pode ser que o Abel entre com o terceiro zagueiro”, completou o comentarista esportivo.
Normalmente, o Palmeiras já atua no sistema com três zagueiros, mas Abel Ferreira costuma utilizar um lateral de origem como beque. Atualmente, o dono da posição ao lado de Gustavo Gómez e Murilo é o jovem argentino Agustín Giay, que ganhou a posição do veterano Marcos Rocha nesta temporada e demonstra muita agressividade e forte marcação no setor.
O que Casagrande sugere, entretanto, é que o treinador do Palmeiras escale mais um zagueiro de origem na defesa, para que Giay atue mais avançado como ala pela direita. Caso essa solução seja escolhida por Abel Ferreira, os jovens zagueiros Naves e Benedetti brigariam pela chance de começar jogando diante do Chelsea.
Casagrande prevê duelo acirrado
Para o comentarista, o Verdão tem todas as chances de brigar de igual para igual com o Chelsea e busca a vaga nas semifinais da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, pois, segundo ele, o time de Londres não é um dos mais fortes da Europa atualmente.
“O Palmeiras vai enfrentar o Chelsea, que não é mais um time do primeiro escalão e da primeira prateleira do futebol europeu. E nem da segunda. Classificou para a Champions, pelo Campeonato Inglês, e foi campeão da Conference League, que é o terceiro torneio continental europeu. É uma equipe em formação e que não tem grandes estrelas. A diferença não é muito grande. O Palmeiras tem total condição de bater de frente e chegar nas semifinais”, disse Casão, em vídeo no Instagram.

‘Relax A Little Bit’: Kyle Van Noy Challenges Former Teammate Justin Herbert To Step Up
Eric Williams NFL Reporter <!--> LOS ANGELES - As an elder statesman in the NFL, Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Kyle Van Noy won't mince words when it comes to those he's mentored – including Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. "Part of me says [Herbert] needs to relax a little bit, because he cares so much," Van Noy told me. "He’s a perfectionist. Just go out there and play ball."Van Noy, who continues to defy his age by finishing with a career-high 12.5 sacks in 2024 and reaching his first Pro Bowl in his 11th NFL season, was a teammate of Herbert's during the 2022 campaign. The Bolts made the playoffs, but suffered an embarrassing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars as they blew a 27-0 lead. Van Noy shared a locker next to the talented signal caller that year, which was his only […]
Jonas Valančiūnas reportedly mulling move to Europe, and his decision could impact Nuggets, Kings and Warriors
The Denver Nuggets are off to a terrific start to their offseason, as they've earned high marks for their wheeling and dealing to open NBA free agency. Two of their biggest moves this week came by way of trades. The first sent Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson, creating significant cap relief while also giving them a two-way wing who better fits their needs. The second flipped Dario Sarič to Sacramento for Jonas Valančiūnas, seemingly solving the Nuggets' backup center problem that's persisted for a few years now. However, new reports indicate that deal may not get done as Valančiūnas may not even play in the NBA next year. On Thursday, BasketNews broke the news that Valančiūnas was in talks with Greek club Panthinaikos on a 3-year, $36 million deal. Marc Stein confirmed Valančiūnas' interest […]
