Ferreirinha is São Paulo’s second top goal contributor this year | OneFootball

Ferreirinha was once again involved in a São Paulo goal by providing the assist for Luiz Gustavo to find the net against Vasco last Sunday, in his team’s 2-0 victory at São Januário, in the Brazilian Championship.

The Tricolor forward is the second player in the squad with the most goal involvements this season. He has seven goals and three assists in 42 matches so far.

“It was a very important victory for our team against a direct rival in the standings. I’m also happy to have played and provided that assist for our win. I’ll keep working the same way, with the same commitment, so that new opportunities arise,” said Ferreirinha.

The forward came on in the second half, replacing Gonzalo Tapia, and took advantage of being fresher than the Vasco defenders to make life difficult for the opponents and directly contribute to increasing São Paulo’s lead.

“The championship is at a decisive moment and the coach will need maximum effort from all of us. We have a quality squad, with everyone able to start matches or come on during the game… what matters is the collective victory,” added the São Paulo number 11.

The Tricolor will be back on the pitch this Wednesday, when they host Flamengo at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro. Currently eighth in the Brasileirão, the team led by Hernán Crespo remains strong in the fight for a spot in the next Libertadores.
