After drawing 2-2 with Flamengo this Sunday (26) at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in a match valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, coach Dorival Júnior held a press conference.
“The team shows that it is committed, that it intends to give back what the fans once again did here today, supporting us from the first to the last minute, believing at all times. And I think that is what the team has been trying to do: find an answer for itself and for our fans. We need the players’ confidence so that we can get back to that moment the team had earlier in the championship itself. The dedication in training and in the fundamentals has been essential and important for all of this,” the coach emphasized.
The coach also highlighted the squad’s progress.
“The team is in the process of evolving, it is improving. The result in midweek took away a little of that possible growth that had already been showing. I am certain that we are on the right path. The fans can expect that we will have good things until the end of the year. Keep supporting us. Thank you for the support you gave, and you can be sure that we will do everything we can to give back. This team will achieve consistency and, with that consistency, the results will come,” he concluded.
São Paulo’s next match will be against Grêmio on August 8 (Saturday), at 4 p.m., at Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre (RS), in the next round of the Brasileirão.
