Still, Abel had the dilemma between choosing a more veteran team or preserving renowned athletes to make way for the Academy’s Creas.
He admitted that it was one of the most difficult choices since arriving at the club, but he ended up opting for a more mature team, with Gustavo Gómez, Veiga and Rony being the team’s pillars.
At halftime, the technical committee noticed the weaknesses on the left defensive side, and Abel not only changed the system, but also added Lázaro and Luís Guilherme, athletes who had been having few opportunities, but led Verdão’s turnaround.
