In another emotionally draining game, Sao Paulo couldn’t maintain its score to eliminate Santos from the South American tournament. With the 1 x 1 tie we were eliminated. The positive aspect of this defeat is that we can focus 100 % of our attention on the National Tournament. Oh, guess who we play this Sunday? You guessed it: Santos again. This time for a brand new start! We have 62 points… 6 behind Santos and 7 behind the number 1 Atletico PR. With 9 rounds to go we can still score 27 points. Remember also that the top four will make it to the prestigious Libertadores of America. However, we’re still aiming at the title. Sao Paulo has won the last four games establishing a very decent record. After Sunday’s 5 x 0 victory I think we have also gained national respect. Even Carlos Alberto Parreira (Brazil’s head coach) praised Sao Paulo for their performance. Well, it seems we have all the right ingredients to approach and even surpass the top two.
VIVA SAO PAULO!
