‘Alemão’ Cauly joins São Paulo, eager to play, Ceni relates | OneFootball

Attacking midfielder Cauly was introduced on the afternoon of Wednesday (18th) as São Paulo’s newest signing, during a press conference held at the Barra Funda training center.

Coming from Bahia on loan until the end of the year, with an obligation to buy if certain targets are met, the now São Paulo player spoke about his good relationship with Rogério Ceni, mentioning a feeling that the coach knows very well, talked about his main characteristics—praised by Crespo—and said he feels physically well, ready to play whenever the coaching staff wants.

“I feel very good. Of course, after the talks progressed, I was no longer included in Bahia’s match squads. But I feel great, I’ve already done part of the training with the team and also trained separately. It will be more up to the coach’s decision, but I feel good. I completed the full pre-season and played two matches as well. I hope to be available as soon as possible,” said São Paulo’s new number 80.

“I’ll try to adapt as quickly as possible. We haven’t had specific conversations (with the coaching staff), but I feel good and I’ll try to help and hope I can already be available for the next matches, maybe the very next one, that’s my biggest wish,” Cauly made himself available.

Brazilian, raised in Germany since childhood, he started playing there and carries with him many traits from the country, such as being more ‘cold’ and a bit more reserved, as he himself explained at the press conference.

“I had this experience very early of moving to another country. I grew up in Germany, a country with a lot of discipline, they’re very correct, and that helped me a lot. I grew up there with this work ethic that I keep to this day, my routines off the field. It helped me a lot tactically and technically. I think that will always help me throughout my career,” the player explained, continuing.

“I had the opportunity to go through the youth system and reach the professional level in Germany. That helped me grow in football and as a person. I have a bit of that more reserved German way. The media there is also different, I had to learn that when I arrived here in Brazil,” added São Paulo’s new signing for the season.

Asked about his relationship with former coach Rogério Ceni, who showered him with praise and regretted his departure in recent days, Cauly did not hide his affection for the São Paulo idol and said that Ceni understood his move to São Paulo, having experienced it himself as a player.

“With Rogério Ceni I always had a very good relationship. He knows very well how we feel when São Paulo calls you. So I’m very eager to play in this shirt soon,” revealed the midfielder.

São Paulo returned to training on Wednesday afternoon at Barra Funda, where they began preparations for the quarterfinal match against Bragantino, next Saturday (21st), at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), away from home, in the opening of the Paulistão knockout stage. During this period, Crespo will assess Cauly’s condition to decide whether to include him in the squad for the match.
