Calleri on Casares’ situation at São Paulo: “of course it affects us a bit” | OneFootball

One of the leaders of the São Paulo squad, forward Calleri commented on the political situation the club is experiencing, as this Friday, a vote will be held on the possible impeachment of president Julio Casares. The 32-year-old Argentine admitted that the off-field crisis affects the team. 

“Of course the situation affects us a little, because no one here lives in a bubble. But we have to give our all on the field, as we always do. Everything that happens off the pitch is not the squad’s problem,” said Calleri in the mixed zone after the 1-0 victory over São Bernardo.

Uncertainty

Next, Calleri commented on the group’s shielding and the uncertainty about who will occupy the presidency of São Paulo. 

“Of course the squad leaders care. Imagine working in a place where you don’t know if tomorrow, the man who is president, will continue and how he will continue his life,” he said. 

“We are employees, I work for São Paulo, I really like being here. I’d put my hand in the fire for all my teammates. Everyone here loves being at the club, but political matters, in part, can affect our group. Those who lead the group, the coach, the directors who are with us every day, the elders, have to shield the squad to try to give our best on the field,” he concluded.
