According to the executive football director of the São Paulo team, Fabinho Soldado, Mengão is the best team in the country, and the alvinegro club has been preparing to be able to face the giant from Rio.

Best team in Brazil. They haven’t just started preparing now, it’s been years. And I had the happiness of working for almost seven years at the club, at Flamengo. And I know what they are doing there,” he said, before continuing:

— And that’s why, regarding Corinthians, in these two years that I’ve been here, I’ve managed to implement some practices so that the club can strengthen itself and be able to face this great giant, who played a beautiful game at the World Cup — he concluded in an interview after Corinthians’ title win this Sunday (21).
