Sao Paulo recovers its spirit in 2022 and can give the country quartet to Rogerio Ceni as coach | Sao Paulo

Against Palmeiras, at Paulistau’s decision, Ceni could win his fourth state championship as a coach, in the fifth consecutive final. He was a runner-up (2018) and then two-time Fortaleza champion (2019 and 2020) at Cearense, as well as reaching the top of the Carioca Championship last year with Flamengo.

Rogerio Ceni’s spirit comes from the victorious weeks, as a competitive team faces arch-rivals. The victories brought back the happiness of the coach, who finished last season with reinforcements and with no prospects for the club.

– You just get hit, you lose the game, you can’t be excited. We were able to do what was suggested, and not let the team fall. But it was heavy. We didn’t do anything very different, in particular. There are reasons now to be more excited. No one can laugh and be happy with defeats, he said.

– Of course we are more excited today. Today it’s a game that’s been set and we’ve practically left difficult. Then you come with more spirit,” Sene added.

For 2022, the coach received six reinforcements. Nobody enjoys star status, despite the investment and importance of names like Rafinha, Nikau and Patrick; Of this trio, only the first has been running as a starter frequently.

Even with reinforcements, Ceni relies on Cotia-trained youngsters, such as Diego Costa, Rodrigo Nestor and Pablo Maia. All three are examples of this most intense and hardworking team that satisfies the coaching staff.

– I don’t know how to live any other way. I, even in those teams the hero in Sao PauloIt was the teams that played with that atmosphere, that fist. I can’t see football differently. It was like that in Fortaleza, from almost zero building to playing today against River in the Libertadores. I live football. I understand that football should be this way – he analyzed.

Talent is a reward that helps a lot to win, but it does not precede daily effort and work. If I work hard, I have a better chance of winning. If two teams are evenly matched, the most talented usually wins. He concluded that one does not abandon effort in favor of talent.
