O Palm trees face the San Lorenzothis Wednesday (3), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 1st round of the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The match, which will be broadcast by ESPN on Star+will feature a very modified alviverde team.
Keeping an eye on the Paulistão final, after losing 1-0 to SantosPalmeiras traveled with just three starters from the last match: Piquerez, Luan and Aníbal Moreno, in addition to Gustavo Gómez, who has recovered from a broken toe and can be used by Abel Ferreira.
Given this scenario, the likely team that will face San Lorenzo should be the following.
Marcelo Lomba; Gustavo García, Gustavo Goméz, Luan (Naves) and Vanderlan; Aníbal Moreno, Richard Ríos and Gabriel Menino; Lázaro, Breno Lopes and Rony. And what will be the disposition of the players on the field? O ESPN.com.br explains.
This time, Abel Ferreira has the option of two formations: with three defenders or defenders in the defense line.
If you opt for a line of four athletes, Garcia returns to the side, while Gómez and Luan form the defense. Vanderlan closes the sector on the left.
In midfield, three players will play the role of protecting the defense: Aníbal Moreno, Richard Ríos and Gabriel Menino. Up front, Rony will be the reference, while Lázaro and Breno Lopes should be responsible for the edges.
If the chosen scheme is with three defenders, García forms a trio with Gómez and Luan. Gabriel Menino would play the right wing, while Vanderlan completes the sector on the left, in addition to midfielders Moreno and Ríos.
Up front, the versatile Lázaro can act as an articulator or on the edges. It remains to be seen how Abel Ferreira will send Palmeiras onto the field in their first Libertadores match.
