The club has won several titles in recent years, and even had the chance to win the World Cup, but this one in particular will have to wait a little longer.

So come and check out the 5 reasons that make Palmeiras a highly successful team that has been winning many titles.

The Great Coach Abel Ferreira

One of the main pillars of this team, certainly, is coach Abel Ferrerira, who has been doing a great job since arriving at the club.

Palmeiras, before the coach's arrival, had already been having good campaigns, however, with the coach's arrival, the team took off.

There were several titles with the Portuguese at the helm, check out some of them:

  • Brazil Cup 2020
  • Copa Libertadores da América 2020 and 2021
  • South American Cup 2022
  • Paulista Championship 2022
  • Champion of the Brazilian Championship 2022

Furthermore, he did an excellent job with the team. The team won the 2022 Brasileirão with three rounds to spare, demonstrating all its strength.

In command of the team, he has played 182 games with 104 wins, 43 draws and just 34 defeats, currently having an advantage of 65.01%.

All this with a team that knows how to score goals, in total 310 goals were scored and only 147 conceded, finding the net in the most diverse championships.

Cast maintenance

Another reason that makes Palmeiras a powerhouse is the regularity of its players.

The consistency of the athletes makes this team very solid, efficient and competitive, having a great attack and a rigid defense.

The same squad that started the Brazilian championship losing, was practically the same group of starters that played in the last round already champions, this demonstrates the maintenance of the squad that does not need many changes to have good results.

All this, once again highlighting the work of coach Abel Ferreira, who knew how to work with the squad without needing major changes to recover in the championship.

Unlike several teams, which, when having a bad sequence of games, change players and coaches, Palmeiras chooses to maintain and improve them.

Another aspect that influences the success of this team is that the time a coach needs to do a good job was given to Abel.

Only with time and training can a team adapt to the style of play that the coach proposes, and then, yes, apply all of this on the field.

Palmeiras players

With the coach, the players are the other pillar of the team, as they are the true protagonists on the field.

And Palmeiras is full of good players, check out the team's main squad:

Weverton; Marcos Rocha, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo and Jorge; Danilo, Zé Rafael, Dudu, Raphael Veiga, Gustavo Scarpa; Ron.

This is the basis of the solid team from São Paulo, which has been gaining more and more respect from fans and rivals.

In defense, Gustavo Gomez proves to be one of the best defenders in Brazil, always very constant.

Controlling the game, midfielder Danilo was one of the main cogs in the midfield, becoming the 2nd most valuable player playing in Brazil.

Highlights also go to goalkeeper Weverton, who was called up for the 2022 World Cup after a spectacular year for the club.

Gustavo Scarpa appears as a key player in the club's successful year, he was essential in several moments, in addition, he was the player with the most assists in the Brazilian championship.

There is no way to describe the importance of each player at the club, but check out the top 10 scorers:

  • Raphael Veiga: 49 goals
  • Ron: 42 goals
  • Gustavo Scarpa: 25 goals
  • Breno Lopes: 15 goals
  • Gustavo Gómez: 16 goals
  • Dudu: 15 goals
  • Willian: 14 goals
  • Danilo: 12 goals
  • Zé Rafael: 12 goals
  • Luiz Adriano: 11 goals

Millionaire budget

The club's revenue is another reason that helps Palmeiras maintain its stability in Brazilian football.

Since having so many stars in the squad requires a lot of financial resources, fortunately, with the club's success this is not a problem.

With the prize for the Brazilian championship title, Palmeiras will receive more than 28 million reais.

It is estimated that Verdão will receive around 80 million reais this year, 30 million more than the club had predicted.

This will result in the guarantee of some more good time at the club, since with the accounts in the green, it is possible to maintain the squad well.

Training athletes at the base

Something that contributed greatly to the rise of the São Paulo club and its stability was the success in training athletes in the youth category.

The last player to rise from the academy to the main squad was the prodigy Endrick, who is already being closely watched by giant European clubs.

In addition, Palmeiras had 15 players who came from the base to reinforce the main squad in 2022.

The names of the stars are:

Danilo, Wesley, Gabriel Veron, Gabriel Menino, Renan, Patrick de Paula, Giovani, Pedro Bicalho, Gustavo Garcia, Gabriel Silva, Vanderlan, Fabinho, Naves and Jhon Jhon.

With highlights for Danilo, who became a starter and a fundamental player in the squad, coming from the base to becoming an absolute starter.

Likewise, another player who has occupied the starting line-up in recent times is precisely the 16-year-old prodigy, Endrick, who already has four goals in just two matches in the Brasileirão.

And then will he be a big star here in Brazil, or will he leave to try and succeed in Europe?

These were the five main reasons why Palmeiras have this stability and success in football.
