Ferreirinha looks ahead to Bragantino clash, targets Copa Libertadores spot | OneFootball

São Paulo has finished preparations to face Red Bull Bragantino this Saturday at Vila Belmiro, for the Brazilian Championship. Ferreirinha, who scored the equalizing goal for Tricolor against Flamengo last Wednesday, looked ahead to the match against the team from Bragança Paulista and set direct qualification for the Libertadores as the team's main goal.

“Our main objective this year is to secure that direct spot in the Libertadores, and we’ll fight until the end. We had some ups and downs in the championship, but I think we’re back on track. We have a tough match against Bragantino, we need to play well and get the three points,” he said.

“Bragantino’s team is very good, now with Mancini who is a great coach. We have to go there, play a great game with the support of our fans, and come away with the victory,” he added.

Against Flamengo, Ferreirinha returned to São Paulo’s starting lineup after just over a month. In the previous match, against Vasco, he had come on in the second half and provided the assist for Tricolor’s second goal, scored by Luiz Gustavo.

“I’m happy to be helping the team. I think everyone’s goal here is to help São Paulo and the team, so I’m glad to contribute with assists and goals. I’m starting a match again after a long period, now it’s about keeping it going and continuing to play,” he concluded.
