São Paulo coach Hernán Crespo fears the first relegation in the club’s history
In the Brasileirão, only Flamengo and São Paulo have never played in Series B. However, Mengão’s opponent in the competition’s debut fears the worst. Last Saturday (24), the coach of the Morumbi team, Hernán Crespo, revealed that the goal is to score 45 points and escape relegation.
— I think the team is growing, clearly the calendar is the calendar. You have Palmeiras, Flamengo, Santos, Santos, it doesn’t help. But, at the moment, the club is us. But I’m confident. I think things will start to get better soon. —, began Crespo.
— Besides, reinforcements will arrive, the boys will arrive after Copinha. I think we have a future, but the future, as I said, in the Brasileirão (the target is) 45 points. This is the future. 45 points and try to build on how we played today —, added the coach, after defeat to São Paulo at Paulistão.
MIXED TEAM AGAINST FLAMENGO?
Crespo is in a dilemma. There are three games left for Paulistão, and São Paulo is only not in the relegation zone due to goal difference. Therefore, there is a possibility that some players will be spared against Flamengo. However, the Argentine coach did not reveal the strategy.
— Yes, we are worried about that (relegation). But we have three rounds, Santos, Primavera and Ponte Preta, which can happen anything. Because we can classify. So we have to play the game. I don’t think anyone likes defeat. But I think there are defeats and defeats. With Portuguesa it was really worrying. Not today (Saturday). Is it bad? Yes, of course, no one wanted to lose —, he concluded.
WHEN WILL SÃO PAULO VS FLAMENGO TAKE PLACE?
With São Paulo in crisis, Flamengo will try to take advantage of the situation this Wednesday (28), starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Morumbi. TV Globo shows the duel throughout Brazil, on an open network. However, the Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the duel, on site.
