Dorival Júnior adopted an imposing speech after commanding the São Paulo qualifying for the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil. On Thursday night, after the 2-1 victory over Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque, the coach countered criticism about the work limitation, gave a new message to the board about the plan for the transfer window and used a confident speech .
– I’ve been happy with what’s been happening in the São Paulo and that we do not live what happened in the past. The coach has to be aware that this does not happen – said the São Paulo coach.
– The focus is on reaching the finals of the competitions. In my first conversation, I was coming back to finish what I started in 2017: I came back to win titles. I don’t know when it will happen, but it may happen sooner than we imagined – he declared.

To reach the finals he wants, Dorival sees a fundamental action on the part of the board: not to sell important names in the squad in the current transfer window.
Even to avoid losses, the club moves to lose players even under-20 players, such as striker Newerton, negotiated with Shakhtar Donetsk, from Ukraine, for approximately R$ 20 million.
– It would be essential (not to sell anyone), and we cannot break this cycle. We are creating standards. No club I’ve been to has demanded a signing, at any point in my career. That’s why I value the work I’ve done in my career, because the teams are formed by the players I find on the spot – he commented.
– I have always valued the youth teams and I try to be very careful with my players and try to get the most out of them. A recognized and trained team delivers things that seem unattainable at certain times. Having a communion and smoothness with their athletes, they prepare even more in a short period – he said.

Faced with this factor, Dorival even used an ironic tone to value his own work in the São Paulorestarted less than three months ago.
– I keep getting lucky. I prefer to summarize it this way, so much so that the work we had there, apart from seven teams that we fought against relegation, with 12 achievements and five runners-up. It’s very lucky. We will continue working in this direction: competence is low, so we enter at 7 am and leave at 7 pm – he highlighted.
– The Brazilian coach never has value, he finds results, things fall into our laps. Few people will see that this team has a standard. My teams put the ball on the ground, my team doesn’t win for the sake of winning. My teams have structure. That’s why I keep working that way and with luck – he ended.
