In an interview still in the mixed zone after the Copa do Brasil title, the athlete said he would no longer play, but backtracked
Player Jonathan Calleri surprised after Sao Paulo won the Copa do Brasil title against Flamengo on Sunday 24th by announcing that he was injured and was undergoing surgery. Despite the statement, days later he changed his mind. At least at this point Calleri has decided to postpone the operation for a few weeks.
As discovered by Earth, the athlete understands that Sao Paulo must put an end once and for all to the risk of relegation of the Brasileirão. After moving away from the Z4, with more confidence, the Argentine operates. The expectation is that he will still play in some Brasileirão matches. After the surgery Calleri will only return in 2024.
The Argentine was an important player in the title campaign, scoring the winning goal in the first leg, at the Maracanã Stadium, which gave Morumbi the lead. As anticipated in the mixed zone, immediately after the title the surgery will be on the right ankle.
The player revealed that this injury had been tormenting him since March, when he was injured during the Campeonato Paulista.
“I was criticized a lot, they stopped believing in me. I prove once again that Calleri is alive and won the Copa do Brasil. Nobody knows, but I’ve been injured for six, seven months. Now I will stop playing and have surgery. I have a bad ankle injury. My goal was to become champion and I think I achieved it. I gave my life, even though I was injured. Since March… Nobody knows, but I gave my life for this club and now I deserve to stop and recover well”, declared the visibly emotional center forward.
With one game less than their other opponents, of the 23 games played in the Brasileirão, Sao Paulo has gained 28 points and is in 14th place. Bahia, a team led by coach Rogério Ceni, opens the relegation zone with 25. In other words, the Tricolor Paulista is only three points away from Z4.
