Part 4/6:
Reflecting on the game plan, the decisions by Palmeiras' coach raise eyebrows. The continued reliance on underperforming players like Flaco Lopes and the late introduction of Dudu appeared questionable. Substitutions did not seem to inject any much-needed vigor onto the field, with players such as Rômulo lacking the opportunity to showcase their potential.
Critics point to tactical missteps as players like Rafael Veiga failed to make an impact, while Felipe Anderson and Richard Hils received scrutiny as well for their inability to influence the game. In contrast, the younger talents like Fabinho, who stepped up impressively in a previous game, seemed bypassed in favor of established names, leading to questions about the coaching approach.
