This Tuesday afternoon, Palmeiras finalized their preparations for the game against Independiente del Valle, on Wednesday, in the third round of the Conmebol Libertadores group stage. The team trained at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado stadium, home of LDU, in Quito, Ecuador.

The team carried out tactical, technical and recreational work on the eve of the match in order to acclimatize the athletes to the effects of altitude on the body, in addition to the changes in the ball’s speed due to the rarefied air – since they are more than 2,800 meters above sea level. .
