Although the sale of the naming rights to Arena Corinthians dominates the news, President Andrés Sánchez also spoke about football on Tuesday, at a press conference at CT Joaquim Grava.
With just four more months in office, the president said his priority will be to deliver his mandate with a surplus, mocked the sporting results and said that he will not hire more reinforcements:
– We can be first, second, third in the Brasileirão, but this year’s balance will be number 1 in Brazil. This is what they want, this is what they will have – he joked, about the negative impact of the deficit of R $ 177 million in 2019.
– We will have a surplus, there will be money left over, I will not hire anyone else, unless I have a very good opportunity. Technical committee and players know that they have to improve, we know that we have to win tomorrow (against Goiás), each game is final in Brasileirão – he said.
