Luciano rues São Paulo loss, urges fans to back team this year | OneFootball

This Sunday, São Paulo was defeated 3-0 by Mirassol in their season debut, during the first round of the Campeonato Paulista. Luciano, a starter for Tricolor in the match, attributes the goals conceded to "mistakes from last year" and avoids commenting on the club's political situation.

"I think our team didn't play well today. We conceded easy goals, with mistakes from last year. Regarding the political part, I leave it to others to talk about, we try and do everything to not interfere, so I leave this matter for others to discuss," he said to Record.

Following this, the forward did not seem optimistic about São Paulo's 2026 and asked for the fans' support for the season. He also revealed that he has not taken on any leadership role in the squad after the departure of Luiz Gustavo, who was one of the most experienced in the group.

"I'll be honest, we ask for the support of our fans because, like last year, I think this year will be more difficult. I ask the fans not to abandon the team, because with them we are stronger. The season will be tough and that's all I ask," he declared.

"I speak little with the management. That part is for the captain, who is Rafael, and sometimes Calleri too," he added.
