Roger Machado really will not get the much-requested and longed-for “time to adapt” at São Paulo. Just over a month after his arrival, the fans, who opposed his arrival from the start, are still pushing for his departure.
This time, two major voices among the tricolor supporters spoke out in protest after the defeat to Vasco in Rio de Janeiro: Dragões da Real and Falange Tricolor.
“He took over a team that was unbeaten and leading the table, undid Crespo’s work, destroyed the midfield, ruined the football of Danielzinho and Lucas Ramon, is putting all his faith in Cédric, brought in a fitness coach who is filling up the medical department (which was empty before he arrived), and only proves that he is incompetent to take charge of a club the size of SPFC,” Dragões said in an article published on its official website after the Brasileirão match.
“It is impressive how the matches keep passing and the team has absolutely no tactical organization; everyone seems to run in a different direction, aimlessly. Roger only came because of Rui Costa’s vanity, and the result is tragic. If Roger remains in charge of the team, SPFC will soon be fighting against relegation,” the Dragões da Real statement concluded.
Falange was also forceful in calling for the current coach’s dismissal and asked the board to show attitude and courage to make the change, rather than leaving it up to São Paulo’s supporters.
“Do not place on the shoulders of the organized supporters, once again, the responsibility of demanding and doing what the board does not have the courage to do. Our role is to support and oversee, not to run the club in your place,” the supporters’ statement said.
