Thiago Carpini talks about whistles and pressure after the defeat against Fortaleza


Fortaleza beat Sao Paulo at MorumBIS in the first round of the Brasileirão




São Paulo lost at home to Fortaleza, at MorumBIS, 2-1 in the Brasileirão’s debut this Saturday (13). Coach Thiago Carpini spoke about the group’s performance after the match, admitted the drop in production and congratulated the fans for their celebration.

Tricolor had a good first half, with chances from Michel Araújo, Luciano and Alisson. In the second half, Fortaleza rolls and rolls, with goals from Lucero and Machuca, while André Silva scores at home.

In the press conference Thiago Carpini spoke about the team’s decline after the first half. The coach cited a lack of concentration on the pitch, which led to two goals from Leão.

– The decline is evident. We missed the goal in the first half, the scenario would have been different and we would have deserved it. In the second half we suffered a loss of concentration, a bit of anxiety and the emotional aspect. This is a new competition, in the first round, you have to be consistent. Let’s talk about the period between Cobresal and Fortaleza, how important it is to play well, score and win. We must do well in all competitions, seek victory at all times. In the second half we fell. In the first goal we had the superiority. These are recurring errors, they bother me a lot, as well as the fans. The second objective is total imbalance. Fortaleza’s first shot was a goal. There are situations that are out of control, the athlete’s drive, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it shows the desire to do the best for Sao Paulo, to seek victory. We need more balance, we can’t be so exposed.

In the second half Thiago Carpini was the target of boos from the San Paolo fans. The commander spoke about the pressure and the difficult moment of the team.

– It’s difficult to ask for patience from the San Paolo fans, who are having a wonderful party at MorumBIS. We regret not having given an answer to the fans, making a good debut and maintaining the level we had in 45, 50 minutes in 80, 90 minutes to have a better result. We understand the fans’ upset because it is ours too. I can say that we continue to work. Patience, as difficult as it is at the moment, we need to improve and evolve, the physical aspect, see if we can get the athletes who are leaving to return. If there is a positive aspect, it is the San Paolo fans.

I am the commander, it would be very convenient to come here and report errors, it is not my role and it is not my profile. We have a good relationship, we share responsibility. Maybe it’s a cultural thing in our football that the coach is always to blame, it’s part of the burden of the profession. The players also demand a lot from themselves, collectively and individually, they know they have to evolve. I do not care.

The professional also explained the substitutions in the second phase of the match against Fortaleza.

– Michel and Igor asked for a replacement, I wouldn’t give up any of them. Depending on the setup of the game, my idea was to go back to the four-man line if necessary, but as Michel asked, he hadn’t played 90 minutes for five or six months and hadn’t played two games in a row, and Igor felt like a a little uncomfortable. a little tired, then he weighed. We are left with the image of the last exchange game that worked, of Erick who entered well, William had the opportunity. In the three-back system we could put another full-back, on the left with Erick, it’s an option to try to keep the team more offensive, gain more depth. It’s a shame that at the moment we conceded the goal, these are circumstances that we have to do at that moment.

We have a positive image from the last match. Erick and André participated in the goal, in the Argentina match Gallop and Luciano had just entered. I in no way attribute the goals conceded to the contribution of the boys, Erick and William. William is a guy who gets used the most because he shows it on a daily basis. We don’t have Lucas and Ferreira. Of course it’s not William’s responsibility, we have to protect him.

During the press conference Thiago Carpini was also questioned by journalists about his relationship with Muricy Ramalho.

– It’s a privilege to have a guy like Muricy, an icon, who has experienced great things here in Sao Paulo. We constantly talk about challenges and difficulties, the weight of all the pressures, the difficult moments that are part of a coach’s career. He says good times return. Before the match against Cobresal, Muricy used the fact that he was also booed as an example. He raises his head, works and follows your beliefs. Muricy is very discreet, even the advice of San Paolo has always given me autonomy and freedom. The decision making is mine.

Carpini also spoke about the club’s next match, the away match against Flamengo. Last season the Tricolore won just one match as guests, with eight draws and 10 defeats.

– Talk and recover our self-esteem. What was left behind was not only today’s match but also this poor record away from home. Understanding what we have to offer technically and physically against a difficult opponent away from home. Have better behavior during the match and strive for victory. He is a recent opponent, with good memories, but it is a new story.
