Bobadilla hails São Paulo midfield’s chemistry, praises Marcos Antônio | OneFootball

Author of São Paulo’s second goal in the victory over Bahia last Saturday, Bobadilla commented on the team’s midfield chemistry. Used to playing alongside Marcos Antônio, the Paraguayan midfielder had nothing but praise for his teammate after the convincing win in the Brazilian Championship.

“Every player is important, we had recently lost Ferraresi and Marcos Antônio, so I’m happy for him [Marcos Antônio]. As I told him yesterday, he knows he’s doing things well, he’s already been called up to the Brazilian National Team, he knows how important he is to the group,” said Bobadilla.

Against Bahia, the Paraguayan midfielder formed a midfield trio with Marcos Antônio and Pablo Maia, a formation that, apparently, has made Bobadilla quite comfortable on the field. It’s no wonder he was the one who appeared in the box to finish Luciano’s beautiful assist and make it 2-0 against Bahia.

“We have good dynamics, a good connection. With Pablo back there, we have more security to push forward. Pablo marks firmly, so we end up having more freedom to move around,” Bobadilla added.

With the result, São Paulo ended a streak of seven defeats in their last eight games, got back to scoring points, and, at least temporarily, reclaimed eighth place in the Brazilian Championship, staying strong in the fight for a spot in the Libertadores.

“Winning at home again was something we needed, and of course it gives us a lot of confidence. I think we played well, so it’s not just about congratulating the team for the win, but also for the way we played. It was a very tough match, playing the way we did considering the phase we’re going through… it’s a victory we really value. Now we’ll take advantage of the long week to work and be at our best against Vasco,” he concluded.

Tricolor will only return to the field next Sunday, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Vasco da Gama, at São Januário, in Rio de Janeiro, for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship.
