Dorival Júnior is one of the protagonists of the Copa do Brasil grand final. The coach, current champion of the tournament, raised the trophy ahead of his rival in this decision, Flamengo, but surprisingly did not stay in Gávea even though he was champion not only of the national tournament, but also of the Libertadores.
There are those who say that this final can be seen as a perfect opportunity for Dorival Júnior to take revenge on Flamengo, who chose not to renew the coach’s contract, but the current commander of Sao Paulo guarantees that there is nothing of the sort type.
“I am very sincere with you. I think much more about Sao Paulo than specifically and individually about the coach, Dorival, who was at Flamengo last year. There I had only joy, great moments. I am very grateful for the opportunity I had , I have never questioned the position taken, I have always respected it, and it will not be at this moment that I will change everything I said about the team I played for”, said Dorival Júnior.
Now the coach has the opportunity to win the Brazilian Cup with Sao Paulo. It is the only title missing from one of the most successful clubs in the country and the possibility of engraving his name in the history of the Tricolore delights Dorival Júnior.
“I have never changed, I have never justified any situation. I understood the management’s position [do Flamengo], I respected it and today I am in front of San Paolo with the possibility of an unprecedented result for the club. For me it has a very great value. Feeling the warmth of the San Paolo fans, regaining trust in their team, is priceless for me. My greatest joy will be the moment in which I am able to give a great title to the San Paolo fans for the trust they have, for the work that has been developed and for the commitment that these players have,” he added.
“I think that Flamengo has a very positive and favorable history. We must recognize and understand it. São Paulo has a greater need than what Flamengo presents for a moment like this. I think it is on the basis of this need that we are “The preparation to reach the final it didn’t happen overnight, it wasn’t the moment we reached the final. From the first day I took over, I told the players that we would be in a final of the competition. We are having this opportunity. I hope that we will be happy, that we will play two great matches, a splendid conclusion to the competition. Everything that can be done, everything that is in our power, I have no doubt that we will do it to win this competition”, he concluded.
