Lucas on São Paulo’s woes: “Work hard and keep quiet” | OneFootball

It was yet another night of apathetic soccer from São Paulo, who were defeated again, this time by Mirassol, 3–0 in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. Not even Lucas Moura’s return to the starting lineup, which hadn’t happened since March when the attacking midfielder suffered a serious knee injury, made a difference.

This Sunday (19), the number 7 showed he was eager, was the one who took the most shots for Tricolor, he almost scored a stunner from midfield (watch below), but came up empty and, worse, added another defeat in a season that is becoming increasingly disastrous.

And it fell to the club idol to try to find words and explanations for the team’s current moment, but he couldn’t come up with many answers.

“I think that this is not the time to talk much, it’s time to work, work, knowing that we’re far from our ideal. Tough moment, work, not talk much, work; we know we can do much better,” said Lucas Moura on the pitch to the Premiere channel.

“We have the ability to do much better, as we’ve already shown during the season, and that’s it, work and stay quiet”, summed up the Tricolor standout.

Stuck on 38 points in the Brasileirão table, São Paulo goes to sleep in 8th place, but could be overtaken by opponents as the round progresses, which ends this Monday (20).

Picking up the pieces, with the fans enraged and the crisis duly installed, Tricolor returns to the field at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) next Saturday (25), against Bahia, at Morumbi, in a match that could have been a direct fight for a spot in the next Libertadores and now clearly looks like playing out the schedule.
