Young goalkeeper redeems shaky São Paulo debut, impresses Crespo | OneFootball

The young goalkeeper Young once again got a chance to start for São Paulo this Sunday, in the classic match against Santos at Vila Belmiro, for the Brazilian Championship. However, unlike his debut, this time the goalkeeper left a good impression and received praise from Crespo.

The 23-year-old made good saves, especially in the first half. According to Sofascore, a site specialized in sports statistics, there were three interventions. He also was not at fault for Guilherme's goal.

After the match, Hernán Crespo praised Young. He said that the goalkeeper trains “very well” and may receive more chances in the future.

“Young deserves it. He trains very well. I gave him an opportunity to play again, maybe in the future he can play once more. I put him in because he deserved it. We lost, but his performance was good,” analyzed the coach.

Controversial debut

Young's good performance erases the bad impression left in his debut for São Paulo's professional team. He played his first match for the main team just over a month ago, against Sport, at Ilha do Retiro, and ended up making a serious mistake in one of Leão's goals.

The goalkeeper made a wrong play and conceded the first goal scored by Sport on that occasion. The match ended in a 2-2 draw.

Standings situation

With the 1-0 defeat to Santos, São Paulo remained in the seventh position in the Brasileirão standings, with 35 points.
