This weekend Palmeiras played against Flamengo do piaui, for the Copa do Brasil. In the first round, Palmeiras won against Flamengo do Piaui, in flamengo's home by one to zero. So, in this game Palmeiras only needed not to loose by two goals. If the game tied Palmeiras would continue to the next part of the championship. The game started well with Palmeiras attacking a lot of the game. Flamengo do Piaui attacked very few and thank God they didn't make a goal. In the 30 of the first time Palmeiras scored a goal. The crowd went wild, because now with the new coach eveybody thought Palmeiras was going to improve. The game only got better, in the second half Palmeiras scored three more goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Flamengo do Piaui managed to make one goal, but everyone new it wouldn't alter the game's score. So the game ended Palmeiras 4x1 Flamengo do Piaui.

Finally every Palmeiras fans, including me thought that with the new coach Palmeiras, would finally start again to play the soccer Palmeiras plays. I have to admit in the start of the game I was pretty confident on Palmeiras, even though Palmeiras lost a lot of games, they won against their rival Sao Paulo, and now crushed Flamengo do Piaui. In my opinion the best thing Palmeiras did was to fire the old coach and call another one.

Palmeiras had a very important game aginst it rival, Sao Paulo, this weekend. Palmeiras had a new coach and everybody believed that this coach could make a difference. But in the first start of the match nothing happened. The two teams were attacking well but no goal was being made. The first half ended, and a part of me was afraid that Palmeiras was going to recieve a goal in the second half, but another part of me was with hope that Palmeiras would win this game. The second half started, and nothing happened until the 20 minutes, when finally a goal was made. Fortunately it was Palmeiras. Finally Palmeiras was going to win something. The goal was scored by Robert!!!!!!!!. If it wasn't eenogh that Palmeiras was winning Robert scored another goal in Sao Paulo, and for the first time again the crowd started shouting Palmeiras name again. The game ended happily for Palmeiras with the score Palmeiras 2x0 Sao Paulo.

I have to admit but even though Palmeiras had a new coach I was a little insecure about the team. But now with this win over Palmeiras rival Sao PAulo, I have a lot of hope that this new coach will make Palmeiras improve his soccer and win a championship this year.

The campeonato paulista has started and Palmeiras played against Sao Caetano. Even though Palmeiras lost last year the Campeonato Brasileiro, this year everybody was confident that Palmeiras was going to do well. The game was in Palestra Italia, PAlmeiras home, and the game started well eith the two sides attacking a lot. Palmeiras had a lot of chances of scoring, but the ball woulnd't enter the goal. Then suddenly in a counter attack, Sao Caetano scores his first goal. To make things worst a few minutes later Sao Caetano scores again. Palmeiras was loosing by to goals in his own home to an ordinary team. BUt the reaction came and Palmeiras scored a goal. But Palmeiras happiness was soon chatterd, because Sao Caetano scored its third goal. The first half ended and Palmeiras was loosing by two goals. The crowd was insatisfied with the team and started criticizing it. But even though it looked like it couldn't get worse, it got. Sao Caetano made it fourth goal. The game ended, Palmeiras 1x4 Sao Caetano.

After Palmeiras lost the championship last year, I wasn't with a lot of hope this year would be better. But even thoungh I knew the situation was very bad for Palmeiras I still had a little light of hope in my heart. But this light was being destroyed at every game Palmeiras lost. But a new change in Palmeiras still kept that light shining. Palmeiras was to recieve a new coach. I thought this coach would make a difference in Palmeiras next game against Sao Paulo.
