Tonight Palmeiras beat Mirassol and maintened the hot streak: now the team has 8 victories in 8 games in the year (in Brazil the season starts in January, which means Palmeiras still 100% this season).
[youtube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=Twf91Z8uG5E]The best player of the game was Diego Souza, with one goal and two assists. It’s good for the team not to be dependent of one or two players. And since the team is playing a fast football, with the players running to create spaces and options, it’s easier to the midfielders to create the plays, ex. the third goal.

(Diego Souza)
The unbeatable serie is the best one since 1920, when the team started the year with 11 wins in a row. This season records:
Palmeiras 1x0 Santo André
Mogi Mirim 0x3 Palmeiras
Palmeiras 3x0 Marília
Palmeiras 5x1 Real Potosí
Ponte Preta 2x3 Palmeiras
Real Potosí 0x2 Palmeiras
Palmeiras 4x1 Santos
Mirassol 2x3 Palmeiras
During the week, Palmeiras actual team was compared to the squad of ’96, also commanded by Luxemburgo, champion of the regional tournamente with 83 points in 30 games, only one defeat and 102 goals scored. That squad had some famous players: Cafu, Rivaldo, Djalminha and Müller.

I hope ’09 team doesn’t last just 6 months, and Palmeiras can achieve more than the regional title.
