HE SAYS they’re tired
In an interview with ESPN Brazil, Melo claimed that they arrived at the tournament in the countries of Qatar with very little rest time, especially a few days after Libertadores won against Santos.
“Honestly, I don’t see the psychological blame, I see the guilt in the physical part. Psychology influences a lot, but from the moment you leave a title as expressive as the title Libertadores, no matter how desirable. Palmeiras’ obsession is Libertadores. Go with the feeling: “Wow, we did what was expected of us this season,” he said.
Melo, 37 years old and already in his last years as a footballer, he added Tigres had a handicap in favor of arriving in Qatar a week earlier and had fewer standing games than Palmeiras.
“I remember that breakfast opened at 7:00 and everyone was there. We change from night to day, and this is very complicated. In the meantime, we have Mexican football that had, instead of 80 games in the season, 40 games nothing more and that arrived a week before!“
