Check out the press conference by Thiago Carpini, São Paulo coach
In a press conference, coach Thiago Carpini praised the departure of James Rodríguez, who returned to the team weeks after almost leaving the team. São Paulo. The Colombian entered midway through the second half, participated in the team’s second goal, by Luciano, and scored the third, in the last play of the game.
The coach, however, preached caution with this return and hinted that he should keep James among the reserves in the next matches.
– From the moment the key turns and he feels happy and important in the process, he returns to be part of the club and is technically indisputable – said Carpini, who then made reservations.

– He is in a different physical stage, he is a bit compromised. It is a technical reference that we have. He missed an important period of preparation, but we gained an option, we will evolve gradually, with caution. James played very well for 20 minutes, he was willing to help on and off the field. I’m very happy – added the coach.
James had not yet played under Carpini. Dissatisfied, he even asked the club to terminate his contract, which the board accepted, but there was no agreement. Last week, the player reconsidered the request and became part of the team’s plans again.

Carpini also admitted discomfort with the series of four matches without victories that preceded the duel against Inter, and highlighted Tricolor’s collective strength.
– Of course it bothers us, we deserved better results in previous matches, but it didn’t happen. This perhaps strengthens us more as a collective, shows a path to be taken again. We returned to our essence of having a strong collective, clear competitiveness.
The coach also commented on the suspension of Calleri, who received his third yellow card against Inter and will not face Palmeiras on Sunday.
– Calleri is a big loss, but I try not to regret it, but to value the opportunities. I still don’t know what I’m going to do, we know our rival well, they know us too. Let’s think calmly – she said.
The next round brings the last Tricolor classic in the group stage: the duel against Palmeiras, Sunday, at 8 pm, at Morumbis, for the 11th round of Paulistão. The teams meet again after the Super Cup, when the São Paulo won the cup on penalties after a goalless draw.
