Paulo Duval is gone, and today's Resenha tackles Neymar's absence, Hernan Crespo's firing, and Palmeiras' Paulista title.

1. Resenha Bandeirantes opens on Monday March 9 2026 celebrating Palmeiras' victory in the Campeonato Paulista final, with new permanent panellist Gabriel making his first official appearance. 2. Hosts Martelli and Everton Ramos present the show alongside Gabi do Vale and Gabriel, while Paulo Duvani (PDV) is absent; Lucas Bueno handles production. 3. The episode's central thread is the contrast between Palmeiras' championship joy and two significant crises elsewhere: Neymar's continued absence from Santos matches despite no apparent injury, and Hernán Crespo's unexpected firing from São Paulo. 4. Palmeiras won the second leg 2-1 in Novo Horizonte to complete a 3-1 aggregate victory and claim their 27th Campeonato Paulista title, ending two years without silverware under Abel Ferreira. 5. Gabriel, the new presenter, describes the final as 'very tepid' and 'not looking like a Paulistão final,' while Gabi says she is 'more happy than relieved,' recalling the late Novo Horizontino chance that nearly levelled the tie. 6. The panel debates whether Abel Ferreira made a tactical error by playing Alan and Maurício together, with Gabriel arguing the combination still 'doesn't work' and noting Novo Horizontino's tight marking again neutralised Andréas Pereira. 7. Palmeiras' title is contextualised: the club spent 700 million reais on transfers last season and 400 million this year, bringing Marlon Freitas and John Arias, meaning a state championship — while necessary — will always feel like the minimum. 8. President Leila's comment that Abel 'owes her' the 2025 title, made at the celebration, illustrates the paradox of Palmeiras being 'a victim of its own success.' 9. Abel Ferreira's record now stands at 11 titles with Palmeiras, and Leila calls him the greatest manager in the club's history, though the panel notes he is not universally loved within the squad. 10. Neymar does not travel with Santos to face Mirassol despite having had 12-13 days without a competitive match — his longest training-only stretch in some time. 11. Santos issued an unusual official communication confirming Neymar will play against Corinthians, the very same day the CBF confirmed Brazil coach Dorival would attend the Mirassol match to observe him — timing the panel calls calculated. 12. Everton Ramos notes that Santos 'normally discloses absolutely nothing' about Neymar, making the official note anomalous, and that Neymar trained normally the day of the episode but will not be with the squad at Mirassol. 13. Martelli argues that if Neymar cannot play two games in a week — a Tuesday and a Sunday — after nearly two weeks of rest, he is physically unfit for a World Cup tournament schedule and should not be called up for friendlies against Croatia and France. 14. The panel agrees that Santos has been misleading supporters about Neymar's availability for approximately three years, treating each week's absence as a fresh surprise rather than a pattern. 15. Hernán Crespo's firing from São Paulo is called 'bizarre' by the panel, given that São Paulo leads the Campeonato Brasileiro and played well in most recent matches, losing only to Palmeiras. 16. Martelli reveals he saw Crespo — then unemployed — in a CBF VIP box during Brazil vs Paraguay in March 2025, approximately 15-20 days before Crespo was announced as São Paulo manager and Zubeldia was dismissed. 17. Midfielder Alisson posted an Instagram story on the day of Crespo's dismissal referencing 'caráter' and 'the truth always comes out,' which the panel interprets as an indirect reference to internal dressing-room tensions — Alisson had been dropped from the squad even before his links to Corinthians became public. 18. The panel provides a comprehensive summary of state championship results across Brazil: Grêmio (Gaúchão), Flamengo (Carioca), Sport (Pernambucano, tetra), Cruzeiro (Mineiro), Paysandu (Paraense), and others. 19. The show's format includes a new segment where Lucas Bueno must read all state champions without stumbling, with hosts threatening to cut his microphone if he makes errors — a light-hearted sequence that ends with multiple cuts. 20. Listeners who follow Brazilian football broadly — including Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo, and national team coverage — will find this a comprehensive Monday round-up, while those interested only in one club may find the format's multi-topic structure unfocused.
