Crespo admits São Paulo’s gloom after defeat: “Nothing is going right” | OneFootball

In an extensive press conference, lasting almost half an hour, Hernán Crespo decided to change the negative impression left after the elimination from the Copa Libertadores, when his statements even sparked controversy due to Oscar's situation.

Very communicative and not avoiding any topic, the Argentine coach did not sugarcoat the situation faced by Tricolor, who this Monday (29th) lost 1-0 to Ceará, right at Morumbi, and accumulated four consecutive defeats without scoring a single goal.

“It’s a moment when nothing goes right. Every game has its own story. Today, we were close to a draw. If you ask me if we played well, of course, we can play better. It’s a critical moment, also in terms of emotion and feeling. After elimination, it’s never easy,” he said.

“We shot, we created, with difficulties. Again, the defeat was deserved. But still, we hit the post twice and they scored with a rebound. We tried everything, changed the way we played, the lineup,” Crespo analyzed.

The São Paulo coach, however, made it clear that the order is not to hang their heads. And that now, more than ever, hard work is essential for the club to turn things around already on Thursday (10/2), when they face Fortaleza away.

“It’s a moment like this, we’ll get through it by working and believing. It’s a complicated moment. Just as before everything went right, now we have to do even more,” he concluded.
