Dorival shines and asks to keep Sao Paulo: “I’m back to win titles” | Sao Paulo

Dorival Júnior adopted a solemn address after being commanded Sao Paulo Qualification for the semi-finals of the Brazilian Cup. On Thursday evening, after a 2-1 win over Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque, the coach responded to criticisms about work restrictions, giving a new message to the board about the transfer window plan and using confident rhetoric.

– I was happy with what’s going on Sao Paulo And that we do not live what happened in the past. The Sao Paulo coach said that the coach must realize that this is not happening.

– Focus on reaching the finals of competitions. In my first spokes, I was coming back to finish what I started in 2017: I came back to win titles. I don’t know when it will happen, but it may happen sooner than we imagined – he stated.

To get to the finals he wants, Dorival sees basic action on the part of the board: not selling important names in the squad in the current transfer window.

Even to avoid losses, the club is moving to lose players even from under 20 years old, such as striker Newton, who negotiated with Shakhtar Donetsk, from Ukraine, for nearly 20 million Brazilian riyals.

– It would be necessary (not to sell anyone), and we cannot break this cycle. We create standards. No team has called for my signature at any point in my career. That’s why I appreciate the work I’ve done in my career, because teams are coordinated by players that I find right away – comment.

– I have always appreciated the youth teams and try to be very careful with my players and try to get the most out of them. A recognized and trained team does things that seem unattainable at certain times. Having firmness and softness with the athletes, he said, they prepare more in a short period.

Faced with this factor, Dorival even used a sarcastic tone to evaluate his own work in Sao PauloIt was restarted less than three months ago.

– I’m still lucky. I’d rather sum it up this way, that the work we’ve done there, with the exception of seven teams we’ve fought against relegation, with 12 finishers and five runners-up. He’s very lucky. We will continue to work in this direction: the efficiency is low, so we go in at 7 in the morning and leave at 7 in the evening – he explained.

– The Brazilian coach has never had any value, he finds results and things fall into our arms. Few people will see that this team has a standard. My team puts the ball on the ground, my team doesn’t win for the sake of winning. My team has structure. That’s why I keep working this way and with luck – it’s over.

a Sao Paulo The opponent from the semi-finals will only know at the weekend. On Saturday, at 4:30pm (Brasilia time), Corinthians will host América-MG to determine the last team ranked among the four best teams in the Copa do Brasil.
