Carpini evaluates San Paolo’s victory and underlines: “We have to think match by match


The coach commented on the positive result at home.




This Saturday (27th), at Morumbi, Sao Paulo hosted Portuguesa in the third round of the Sao Paulo championship, won with the minimum score of 1 to 0. During the press conference, coach Thiago Carpini underlined football place of his team.

– I think the dead ball defines a lot of games today. This is why we must pay particular attention, both in attack and defense. Going back to the Mirasol match, we conceded a goal on a dead ball at a time when we were in control of the match. Today was a favorable day, we work a lot on this aspect, we have good shooters and good headers. I see it positively but with ideas to evolve, create more alternatives. The problem is time to train.

Regarding the sequence of the classics, the coach explained that he prefers to think match by match.

– The next match is Corinthians and then we will think about the next match. Of course it has a different weight, it’s a classic, he breaks taboos, but the weight doesn’t belong to this cast. How many matches did San Paolo play there? It wasn’t that cast! This burden is not ours, this taboo is not ours. If we can do it on Tuesday, fantastic, it’s a team that continues to make history as it did in 2023. After Corinthians let’s think about the next step.

Regarding the full schedule for the next match, Carpini explained:

-Every San Paolo match is a decision. The next decision will be against Corinthians and we will see what we have to offer. At the beginning this rotation is very important and the team allows you to do it. We must be patient with the situations of lack of standards that will arise. But from tomorrow we will see what we have to offer and we will face Corinthians as a decision, as it was today against Portuguesa and as it will be in the next matches.

Speaking of Luiz Gustavo, the coach commented:

– Luiz is a very lucid boy, his career speaks for itself. He is a born leader, very positive. You will suffer consequences due to downtime. If necessary he can be the first man on the defensive tripod, starting a quality play, with a long ball, with a pass between the lines. We have alternatives. Having better time, physical conditions and collective organization, we will have more alternatives for São Paulo.

The next appointment in Sao Paulo is Tuesday (30th) at 7.00 pm. The team faces Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena trying to break the taboo of never having won at their rivals’ home.
