The Brazilian club faces tough games against Porto from Portugal, Al Ahly from Egypt, and Inter Miami from the USA. Pereira told CNN her team feels proud to be the lone club from São Paulo at this event. She promised fans her squad would not treat this trip like a vacation. Pereira warned other teams that Palmeiras brings the same passion to every match they play. The club plans to focus on one game at a time during the tournament. Many people talk about star player Lionel Messi from Inter Miami as a major challenge. Pereira shows no fear about this matchup with the famous Argentine. She believes other teams should worry about playing against her strong Palmeiras squad instead. [/QUOTE]
