Milton Cruz assesses São Paulo's display at the Maracanã | OneFootball

After the 2-1 defeat to Fluminense this Saturday (16), Milton Cruz commented on São Paulo’s performance at the Maracanã. The assistant was in charge of the team, which from Monday (18) will have Dorival Júnior as head coach.

Milton Cruz praised the improvement shown by the team in the second half. The two goals by the Rio side came in the first half, and in the 33rd minute of the second half Dória pulled one back.

“I think the team was braver and more aggressive in the second half. We managed to play a better second half than the first,” he said.

The assistant also commented on the arrival of Dorival Júnior, who will have his third spell as São Paulo’s coach.

“Dorival already knows the squad well. He is good at giving confidence to the players. I hope we can support him as we have always supported the others. I really believe in his ability to persuade and organize the team,” he concluded.
