Abel Ferreira, current Palmeiras coach and two-time Copa Libertadores champion, took advantage of the press conference prior to the Club World Cup final to send a message to Pep Guardiola, who a few days ago was wrong when he said that River Plate is the monarch of South America and he also left open the idea of a meeting between the two to share ideas and thus learn more about football.
“I admire Guardiola a lot and I know he doesn’t have much time because he is fully focused on winning the Champions League because Manchester City is one of the best teams today. I invite you to watch a Palmeiras match“, expressed the Portuguese coach.
Pep Guardiola’s mistake occurred a couple of days ago when he denied that Manchester City is the best club today and referred to Chelsea FC (European Champion) and River Plate as the king of South American football.
“As I know he likes to meet new people, something that I also like, if one day he can get together for lunch or dinner it would be a pleasure to exchange ideas to see if I learn something”, concluded the leader of the Brazilian club.
In this way, Abel Ferreira showed his willingness to further expand his knowledge of world football and it is no secret that the Portuguese is being followed by the big clubs in Europe thanks to his two-time Copa Libertadores championship.
