Palmeiras drew 0 x 0 with RB Bragantino on Tuesday (28), for the fifth round of the Paulistão.

From a box at Allianz Parque, Jurgen Klopp - former Liverpool coach and now Global Head of Football for Red Bull - was watching the match.

After the match, in a press conference, Abel Ferreira - coach of Verdão - ended up 'nudging' his German colleague to respond to a possible 'lesser hunger for titles', after so many victories at Palmeiras.

"Today, a gentleman named Klopp was here, who won fewer titles in 8 years at Liverpool than my technical commission here at Palmeiras. So, don't talk to me about hunger for titles. He had 8 years at Liverpool and had fewer titles in four or five years than us. I am about the project, it won't change", said Abel, before completing.

"I am the captain of my destiny and master of my soul. I am where I want to be. No club in the world gives me the conditions that this club offers. It is the best club in the country, by far. Regardless of opinions and criticisms, we know what we want to do, I know what the path is. Everyone has their responsibilities, mine is to sort out the team's processes. I earn money so that Palmeiras' fans can see our identity and our values on the field".

The point is, whether they like it or not, Abel Ferreira did not lie.

While Jurgen Klopp won eight trophies over the course of nine seasons in charge of Liverpool, the Portuguese, in less time, has already won ten trophies, such as two Libertadores, two Brazilian championships and a Brazil Cup.
