Forward Calleri and head coach Roger Machado gave interviews after São Paulo’s 1-1 draw with Internacional this Wednesday (1) at Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre (RS), in the ninth round of the Brasileirão.

The center forward, who scored Tricolor’s goal that night, was interviewed first as he left the pitch and stressed that the squad will keep fighting for better results.

“We’re going to keep fighting. We earned an important point, and now we have to leave it all on the field at home against Cruzeiro on Saturday to win and stay near the top of the table. We’ll fight until the end, because this shirt always deserves to be at the top of the standings,” said the No. 9.

Head coach Roger Machado then spoke at a press conference after the match in the South and, like his captain, stressed that picking up points is always important.

“Putting in a good performance away from home and taking a point back with us is always important. Obviously, we really wanted to win, but there were positives today and we managed to get the equalizer,” said the coach.

São Paulo return to action next Saturday (4) to face Cruzeiro at MorumBIS at 6:30 p.m., in the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship.
