Hopes sourround Keirrison that supporters will stop jeering him and other Palmeiras players after the side was eliminated from the Paulista State Championship even though the team had been winning it for several months.
If the fans decide to protest then the players may struggle to recreate the form earlier in the season, in which they could be at a major disadvantage and could well continue their bad run of form. It is feared that star Keirrison is likely to recieve the most abuse, even though he is the clubs leading goal scorer.
Luxemburgo commented: “I’ll guarantee you that they will insult Keirrison, me and the others. But we will have to insert cotton buds into our ears and get on with our jobs,” said Luxemburgo.
“The fans are frustrated because they wanted us to beat Santos but we hope that they attend the match in large numbers so that they can support us in a crucial game.”
