After strong start in Brasileirão, São Paulo struggle for form under Crespo | OneFootball

The moment on and off the field is not easy for São Paulo. Off the pitch, the club is experiencing a major political crisis under the management of president Julio Casares, and this seems to influence the team during games.

A number that proves this is São Paulo's performance after the initial surge in the Brasileirão with Hernán Crespo. As soon as he joined the club, the coach achieved six consecutive victories in the competition, between July and August. However, after this sequence, the Tricolor drastically declined in performance and has a 36% success rate with the coach.

Counting the games after the victory against Vitória, the last of the six positive results, São Paulo played 23 times, with only seven wins, four draws, and 12 losses, numbers that result in the 36% mentioned above.
