“We know that we have to change a lot, it’s about trust. Only time will tell if it will be like this, if the words that were spoken to me in July will be confirmed. Have faith and think about planning. Planning is a role, what has to be done. Let’s evaluate the day to day and know what to do. I think that if there isn’t a big change compared to this year”, he said, before completing:
“It can’t be just one step, we at São Paulo, who are big, have to take 20 more steps. Trust, participate in this planning and see if it will work. If not, São Paulo will always exist. Maybe, when my contract ends, another one will arrive. São Paulo is very big, I want to participate in that. I always talk to reality, if what is happening happens, it’s because it deserves it, that’s how it is. Let’s try to reach eighth in the last games and wait”, he analyzed.
In addition to Crespo, Luiz Gustavo and Rui Costa also spoke after the victory at Maracanã. The midfielder followed the coach’s line, talking about improvements, while the manager highlighted the “embarrassment” suffered by the team.
São Paulo returns to the field on Wednesday (3), at 8pm (Brasília time), to face Internacional. The game, valid for the 37th round of the Brasileirão, will be played at Vila Belmiro.

The game
“I can’t give an opinion on Luiz Gustavo’s statements. I think that in the last press conferences I was very clear. I think the things that happened between the fans and everyone. The fans don’t need to go through these things. We have to think as a team at this moment. We found a team that had a penalty, scored a goal on the first arrival. Fluminense played very well, it was a perfect performance indeed.”
