“We put it in our head that we have to be professional”

The Ecuadorean defender is Sao Paulo’s top scorer in the Copa Sudamericana with two goals

On Thursday (14) Sao Paulo made their debut in Morumbi for the current edition of the Copa Sudamericana and beat Everton of Chile 2-0.. The first goal scorer is the defender Robert Arboleda He talked about Tricolore’s second victory in the continental competition and gave the merit to the coach Rogerio Cini.

According to the Ecuadorean, who scored his second goal in the South American Championship, and is the team’s top scorer, the former goalkeeper plays a key role in the team’s good moment. And all this because of the big change he made upon his return to Morumbi and related to the frequent injuries to the players at the club.

“First, you have to greatly appreciate Rogerio’s work. Since his arrival, we’ve had in our minds that we have to be more professional in that sense. Sometimes I got to training tired, didn’t say anything and ended up hurting the player. It gave the player the confidence to be able to talk to him when he was tired and not have that kind of problem.. So the player’s mind has changed a lot, we thank him and the medical department, who are standing on our head all day, looking after us. One helps the other and that’s how we got out of that problem I’ve been having for a while.”

With his victory, Sao Paulo leads a team group d of Sudamericana with 6 added points, three points ahead of Ayacucho Bear, who is in second place. Now, Tricolor will return to the field for continental-only competition on April 28, when he faces Jorge Wilstermann, in Bolivia, for the third round of the group stage.
