Dorival Júnior assesses Millonarios-COL clash | OneFootball

After a 1-1 draw with Millonarios-COL on Tuesday (19) at MorumBIS, in a match valid for the fifth round of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage, head coach Dorival Júnior gave a press conference.

“Understanding the squad, getting to know it over time, you can’t skip steps. I think everything comes down to training, adjustments... it’s natural that the first priority is rebuilding confidence, and that has to happen. I don’t think we played a bad match, but it also wasn’t a match with full and absolute technical control. I think we could have shown a different kind of behavior. We created good chances, and there are many things we need to try to correct, from my point of view, based on what I notice and what I see the team needs,” the coach said.

The manager also highlighted some points that can be improved during the season.

“I think the positioning that was proposed, some changes in personnel and in behavior, all of that was important. What we need is to make a little more of the chances we are creating. When that starts to happen, the game takes on a different shape,” he concluded.

The São Paulo side’s next match will be against Botafogo on Saturday (23), at 5 p.m., at MorumBIS, in the Brasileirão. In the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, São Paulo will return to the field against Boston River-URU on Tuesday (26), at 7 p.m., once again at MorumBIS.
