Roger Machado on Mirassol win and fans' backing in Campinas | OneFootball

Head coach Roger Machado gave a press conference after São Paulo’s 1-0 win over Mirassol this Saturday (25) at Brinco de Ouro Stadium in Campinas, São Paulo state, in the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The coach assessed the team’s performance and highlighted the buildup play, even amid the difficulties imposed by the opponent.

“I see that the circumstances that define the chances are a consequence of the difficulty the opponent imposes on you. We can’t fail to count the chances we created, many of them blocked by the defense, but before the goal, we managed to build well. The chance that led to the goal came from a great cross and a header inside the box,” he said.

Roger also emphasized the presence of the fans, who turned out in good numbers and supported the team.

“The response I got today was seeing the fans transform the atmosphere of the stadium, which isn’t ours, as if it were our home. I leave happy because of the win, the performance and, above all, because of what I saw from the fans. Our supporters made Brinco de Ouro our home and, without a doubt, made a difference,” he added.

Tricolor return to action against Millonarios on Tuesday (28) at Nemesio Camacho El Campín Stadium in Bogotá, Colombia, at 9:30 p.m., in the third round of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana. In the Brasileirão, the next match will be against Bahia on Sunday (03) at 4 p.m. at Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium in Bragança Paulista, São Paulo state.
