SÃO PAULO, SP (UOL/FOLHAPRESS) - O atacante Felipe Teresa, de 20 anos, voltou aos holofotes ao marcar dois gols na vitória do Palmeiras sobre o Corinthians, nesta quinta-feira (16), pelas quartas de final do Brasileirão sub-20. One of them was a great goal: a shot practically from midfield.

Today a highlight of the under-20 team and closely watched by Abel Ferreira, Teresa arrived at the club as a bet from João Paulo Sampaio, coordinator of the alviverde base, after being released by Flamengo for disciplinary reasons.

DISPENA NO FLAMENGO E APOSTA DO PALMEIRAS

Flamengo terminated Felipe Teresa's contract in September last year after a reformulation in the youth categories based on zero tolerance for indiscipline and unwanted behavior in everyday life at Ninho do Urubu.

The report found that Flamengo made the decision after having "headaches" with the player. People who followed Teresa's day-to-day life at the red-black base say that he had behavioral issues in training and games, as well as problems related to schedules.

Dias após a dispensa do Flamengo, JP Sampaio ligou para o atacante e abriu as portas do Palmeiras, mas com duas condições: ele teria que aceitar uma redução salarial (por que tinha um salário alto no time carioca) e mudar a postura que o fez ser dispensado.

Hoje, Felipe Teresa é o artilheiro do Sub-20, com 16 gols e uma assistência em 27 jogos. O atacante tem contrato com o Palmeiras até setembro de 2027, e o clube paulista ficou com 80% dos direitos econômicos do jogador após sua chegada sem custos.

OBSERVADO POR ABEL FERREIRA

Teresa is part of the group of base players who are training with the professional squad this off-season.

O atacante pode atuar como centroavante, segundo atacante e ponta direita, e também tem se destacado por gols de falta -já são três nesta temporada.

Felipe Teresa already had professional experience at Flamengo: there were four games, with one goal and one assist. Now, the striker is trying to convince Abel Ferreira that he is ready to take the next step at Palmeiras.
