A parceria entre Flaco López e Vitor Roque tem sido fundamental para o Palmeiras desde a mudança tática de Abel Ferreira. A dupla de ataque tem se destacado, participando de 83% dos gols da equipe em dez jogos, após a eliminação na Copa do Brasil. Essa mudança significativa trouxe nova perspectiva ao time, que vê na dupla uma grande arma para conquistar títulos no Brasileirão e na Conmebol Libertadores.
Since the partnership between Flaco López and Vitor Roque has begun, Palmeiras has seen a significant improvement in performance, with the two players participating in 83.3% of the team’s goals. This change in dynamics has excited the fans, with many comparing the duo to the iconic “Bebeto and Romário” duo in Brazilian football. The memes circulating on social media attest to the impact they have had on the team.
The impressive numbers speak for themselves: in ten games after the Corinthians defeat, Palmeiras scored 24 goals, with 20 of them involving either Vitor Roque or Flaco López. Vitor Roque scored eight goals and provided four assists, while Flaco López found the back of the net seven times and set up one goal. This partnership has undeniably been a game-changer for the team’s success.
Despite the excitement surrounding Flaco López and Vitor Roque’s performances, coach Abel Ferreira remains cautious. He has advised against getting carried away with comparisons, even joking about Flaco López channeling his inner Messi after his call-up to the Argentine national team. With eight wins and two draws in the ten games they have played together, it’s clear that the duo is a force to be reckoned with.
For Abel and the team, it’s all about balance and consistency. The focus remains on the next match against Bahia, where Flaco López and Vitor Roque are expected to continue their impressive form. With the duo on the field, Palmeiras has not suffered a defeat this season, highlighting the impact they have had on the team’s overall performance. The fans eagerly anticipate their next display of skill and dedication on the pitch.
