The striker talks about the expectations of playing in the Libertadores with his favorite team and talked about his first days as a Zubeldía
São Paulo will go to Guayaquil this Thursday (25th), to face Barcelona-EQU, at 9pm, in the third round of Group B, of the Copa Libertadores. The match also marks Luis Zubeldía’s first match in charge of the team. And the Argentine coach will already have to make some important decisions in the starting lineup, such as whether or not to maintain the three-back formation. But the one keeping an eye on this exchange is striker Ferreira.
One of the team’s highlights in recent matches, Ferreira came on as a substitute against Atlético-GO due to the three-back formation. Milton Cruz chose not to play with an attacker on the edge and to use the full-backs as wingers. However, the attacker has already made himself available to the coach to work in any sector of the pitch.
“We adapt, we want to help. Whether it’s with a line of three defenders, or whether it’s with a line of four (with two full-backs). I want to help, do what’s best for São Paulo. I’ve been following the Libertadores since I was child. I am very happy to be in the second, the first with Sao Paulo. We know the importance of the Libertadores for this club and the importance of this club in the Libertadores”, said Ferreira.
With three points, San Paolo is second in group B of the Libertadores. If they beat Barcelona, they would have four points on Thursday’s opponents. Therefore, the match in Guayaquil is seen as a decision for Tricolor.
“Every Libertadores match is a decision, as it will be tomorrow. We started with a defeat, we recovered and now it’s time to continue, look for a victory away from home to give peace of mind during the competition,” added the striker.
Ferreira evaluates Zubeldía’s work
Finally, the player also commented on how the first days were with the Argentine in Sao Paulo. Ferreira was among the group of players who had the most contact with coach Luis Zubeldía, given that against Atlético-GO they only started with the coach on Wednesday (24).
“With him we did two jobs. The people who played for longer weren’t able to do this activity. There has already been a change. It’s a different job, but that’s it. Give yourself as you did so that the positive results would arrive” . It’s a lively commission, shouting all the time, driving all the time, participating in practices all the time. This is important for the whole group, to stay focused and do a good training to put all this into play”, concluded Ferreira.
