São Paulo stuck at the wrong end in the Brasileiro, check it out | OneFootball

São Paulo is experiencing an undesirable chapter in the 2025 Brazilian Championship. Despite occupying the seventh position on the table, with 32 points in 22 rounds played, the Tricolor leads in a negative statistic.

The team led by Hernán Crespo records the most yellow cards (68) and is the second to receive the most red cards (5) in the competition, behind only Fortaleza, which has six expulsions. Corinthians appears as the second in the yellow card count, with 66.

The situation becomes even more concerning due to the high number of injured players, which, combined with suspensions, limits the options for the Argentine coach. At the moment, the Tricolor cannot count on eight players: Luiz Gustavo, Calleri, Lucas, André Silva, Marcos Antônio, Oscar, Arboleda, and Ryan Francisco.

The high number of warnings has already forced changes in the lineup in recent matches and may affect tactical decisions in upcoming games, especially in the sequence of crucial commitments: Botafogo in the Brasileirão and LDU in the Libertadores quarterfinals.

During the FIFA break, Crespo takes the opportunity to work at the Barra Funda training center, adjusting the team and seeking a balance between intensity, marking, and emotional control, in an attempt to reduce fouls and expulsions. Despite the challenges, São Paulo remains in the fight for the G6 of the Brasileirão and the decisive stages of the Libertadores.
