Ceni says San Paolo shouldn’t spare the athletes in the final stages even if they are classified


The coach confirms that he will continue to climb the best athletes in the final stretch of the State classification phase

The coach Roger Ceni states that the St. Paul should not spare the athletes in the final stages of the Paulista Championship despite having conquered the place for the quarter-finals in advance. This Tuesday, the 21st, the Morumbi team beat São Bento 3-0, in Sorocaba, and can no longer be joined by third-placed Mirassol – only the two qualify.

“For these last two, we are going with what we have best, logically respecting the fatigue in some of our sectors. We continue without some changes, we will not have Pablo Maia, he took the third card, we rotated in some positions we have players to change and we trust,” said the coach at a press conference in Sorocaba.

The coach argues that the planning is supported by the Campeonato Paulista retrospective of recent years. With the positive result against São Bento, São Paulo started to have the second best season, overcoming São Bernardo in the tie-break criteria. The holder of the best campaign plays the quarter-finals at home and, depending on the results of the subsequent stages, can have the same advantage in the semi-finals and also in the event of a decision. Today Palmeiras holds the best campaign. “The qualifying phase determines many things, it has been like this in the last few years. We will fight hard to have the best possible position, now classified,” said Ceni.

In the next match, San Paolo will face San Bernardo, in Morumbi. “First, finish ahead of Água Santa, which is going well. Then in the semifinals, even without Morumbi, wherever we play, we have the support of our fans,” he said.

The trainer refers to the concerts of the Coldplay group that will be held at the Morumbi on the dates of the semifinals of the Paulistão. If he advances, and maintains the lead, San Paolo will be able to send the match to Allianz Parque.
