Flamengo’s rivals São Paulo set unusual target in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

São Paulo Coach Hernán Crespo Fears the Club's First Relegation

In the Brasileirão, only Flamengo and São Paulo have never played in Série B. However, the opponent of Mengão in the competition's debut fears the worst. Last Saturday (24), the coach of the Morumbi team, Hernán Crespo, revealed that the goal is to score 45 points and avoid relegation.

— I think the team is growing, clearly the schedule is the schedule. You have Palmeiras, Flamengo, Santos, Santos, it doesn't help. But, at the moment the club is us. But I am confident. I think soon things will start to improve —, Crespo began.

— Besides, reinforcements will arrive, the boys will arrive after the Copinha. I think we have a future, but the future, as I said, in the Brasileirão (the goal is) 45 points. That is the future. 45 points and trying to build as we played today —, added the coach, after the defeat to São Paulo in the Paulistão.

MIXED TEAM AGAINST FLAMENGO?

Crespo faces a dilemma. There are three games left until the end of the Paulistão, and São Paulo is only out of the relegation zone due to goal difference. Therefore, there is a possibility that some players will be rested against Flamengo. However, the Argentine coach did not reveal the strategy.

— Yes, we are concerned about this (relegation). But we have three rounds, Santos, Primavera, and Ponte Preta, where anything can happen. Because we can qualify. So we have to play the game. I think no one likes to lose. But I think there are losses and losses. With Portuguesa, it was really worrying. Not today (Saturday). Does it hurt? Yes, of course, no one wanted to lose —, he concluded.

WHEN WILL SÃO PAULO VS FLAMENGO BE?

With São Paulo in crisis, Flamengo will try to take advantage of the situation this Wednesday (28), starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbi. TV Globo will broadcast the match across Brazil, on open network. However, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match, on site.
