Adept at strategy of constantly rotating actors Palm trees And adjusting several pieces from match to match, Abel Ferreira must keep a base for the team for the next four matches of the Brazilian championship, taking advantage of the blank calendar.

This Sunday, Verdao Cuiaba faces, at 11 am, at the Allianz Parque, in a match valid for the 17th round of the Brazilian League.
