São Paulo was forced to a goalless draw against Santos, this Sunday (12), in Vila Belmiro, in the 34th round of the Brazilian championship. With the result, the Tricolore reached 46 points and practically escaped possible relegation. The club, however, excludes granting early holidays to the players.
After all, the Tricolor still has five matches to play, two against teams fighting for the title (Flamengo and Atlético-MG), as well as one fighting against relegation (Bahia). Finally, San Paolo will have to face Fluminense and Cuiabá again in the competition. For Dorival Júnior, however, the team will not go on holiday.
“I don’t intend to pre-empt in any way. We have a program that has already been sent to the council. The council takes care of the holidays, there is no involvement of the technical committee. We will respect everything that is established,” Dorival said.
Furthermore, Dorival expects more pressure next season. Moreover, champions of the Copa do Brasil, Sao Paulo will return to compete in the Libertadores. The coach admitted that he may lose important players, but he believes that the team will also be strengthened.
“The possibility of going out exists, on merit, for everything the boys have done. We must be prepared. If we want to fight for the final and semi-final, we must have a strong team like that of San Paolo.” “I always have. The next step is perhaps more important than the initial one, that of assembling the group. From now on the demand will be greater”, concluded the coach.
Planning for San Paolo in the last stretch of the year
San Paolo, in fact, will play the last round on December 6th. The athletes will have to return to work on January 6 or 7, in preparation for the Paulista.
