After being eliminated from the CONMEBOL Sudamericana following a 1-1 draw with Boca Juniors-ARG this Tuesday (15) at MorumBIS, in the second leg of the tournament’s quarterfinals, head coach Dorival Júnior held a press conference.
“If we look at the result, it’s not what we want to deliver. If we look at the team, based on what we found and what we are going through, I think there has been improvement, but the results are not following. Everyone expected a very different performance, and that was everything we wanted to deliver to our fans. What the fans have been doing for the team and the club is impressive and has been a difference-maker, and we have an obligation to them. We have to do our part and start delivering good results again,” he said.
The coach also emphasized the squad’s focus for the remainder of the Brasileirão.
“Now we have to turn our full attention to the Brazilian Championship and we cannot slip up in any way. We do in fact have one more match to play, but that means nothing. We have to earn points and understand that now we are left with only one possibility, and that possibility has to be delivered to our fans,” the manager concluded.
São Paulo return to action against Internacional on Saturday (19) at 9 p.m. at MorumBIS, in the Brasileirão.
