Calleri lets off steam after an unpublished headline: ‘San Paolo was little respected’

The striker vented and thanked Ceni immediately after the match

San Paolo faced Flamengo this Sunday afternoon (24th), at 4pm (Brasilia time), at the Morumbi in the big decider of the Copa do Brasil 2023. Calleri’s Tricolore tied the match with a great goal from Rodrigo Nestor and the competition’s first title throughout its history is secured.

São Paulo’s number 9, already seen as an idol by the fans, has finally written his name in the club’s history by being one of those responsible for one of the goals that gave São Paulo Futebol Clube its unprecedented title.

Fired at criticism

Calleri was one of the players who suffered the most in the media this season. The striker has gone through turbulent times wearing the tricolor shirt, such as the absence of goals in important matches and poor performances in matches that required his performance.

In a sideline interview, Calleri revealed everything he thought about the criticism aimed directly at him and San Paolo during 2023:

– I always try to give 100%. Sometimes I can’t play well, but I give up for this shirt and today we did it, it was deserved. We received a lot of pressure when we went out against Agua Santa, San Paolo received little respect and today they have to respect us more.

Dorival, who was said to have had a setback in his career, became champion and chased Flamengo. We are very happy! We needed an important title, which will go down in history. – Calleri shouted.

Relationship with Luciano

Calleri also focused on the importance of Luciano for the historic conquest of San Paolo and on how the relationship has been between the two main names of the Tricolore attack in recent seasons:

– At the beginning we spoke little (Calleri and Luciano), as we got along we improved and I can say that he is a friend, he left his life for San Paolo and deserves to be recognized by 60 thousand people, like all those who have played a lot and all the players, Nestor who was criticized… Everyone deserved a lot, and today San Paolo is great again! – exclaimed Calleri.

Memories of Rogerio Ceni

Concluding his short interview, Calleri gave credit for the unprecedented feat to former Sao Paulo coach and idol Rogério Ceni, who left the club’s helm before the match against Sport in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

– I want to thank Rogerio. He gave me the captain’s belt, he gave me leadership that I didn’t have in the club. Where he is he is very happy, he knows everything he has done for us, he said that when the coach arrived you would be champions. I want to thank him and this trophy will go to him. – concluded Calleri.

Sao Paulo are champions of the Copa do Brasil and qualify for the 2024 Libertadores, the main objective of the table established at the beginning of the season.
