Mexico City /
The road converges again Tigers with a Brazilian team, this time with Palm trees if the obstacle to overcome the Club World Cup Final. There they meet a team that is emerging in football, with a series of titles that paints already in its history of more than 100 years.
HOW WAS PALMEIRAS BORN?
The history of Palesta, as his fans call him, began on August 26, 1914 thanks to four Italians who came in Sao Paulo, who decided to give life to the club that was called at the time Italy gym Y whose colors were those of the flag of said nation (green, white and red). With that particularity, the team played the amateur league and even won five times, until it jumped to professionalism.
With a history full of glory, the team has been the protagonist of all the national tournaments it played, but everything changed at the outbreak of the Second World WarBecause Brazil supported the allies and therefore there was a rejection of the Italians, in addition to the fact that the government banned everything related to the Axis (Germany, Italy and Japan). So, Palmeiras was born in 1942, although its origins are not forgotten, because in some seasons the alternate uniform was tricolor, the most recent case in 2017.
PALMEIRAS, THE MALE WAKING UP
One of the biggest problems Tigres faces is that they are going up against the winner of the Brazilian Championship and that he is experiencing a remarkable moment, after a long drought of 12 years, as he failed to succeed in the league from 1994 to 2015, until he added 80 points in 2016, namely losing only six games.
As if that wasn’t enough, Palmeiras would soon be crowned again for repeating the dose in 2018 with the same 80 units, in addition, last year he won the Paulista Championship which he had not won since 2008. The sum of all of the above places the team as the favorite to overcome the Club World Cup semi-finals.
The fact is, you don’t have to get bored.
