Criticism from Brazil about the closing of the cycle in Palmeiras
TMC journalist André Galvao directly expressed his position on the situation of Raphael Veiga and other club officials. The media stated that he is leaving the team due to his current level, which is not optimal to continue with the Brazilian team. Furthermore, he considers that in general, the team has not lived up to expectations.
“I don’t need much to talk about it. He’s just another champion leaving because he’s not playing well. And then all the champions They leave because they don’t play well. If no one plays well, is it just the players’ fault? Nobody plays well anymore, everyone has forgotten how to do it. Nobody works anymore. It’s over... there are many people whose cycle has ended, it is proven. Then I brought out Raphael Veiga, Everton, Luan, Dudu, Marcos Rocha; to everyone because they are no longer usefuls”.
