Coach Fernando Diniz admits that São Paulo, like other teams, has a hard time dismantling opponents’ booms. After the 3-1 victory over Bahia for the Brazilian Championship, the tricolor coach highlighted the evolution of his team after the break to win the three points.
São Paulo, after suffering in the initial stage, scored three goals in the second half and built the score against Bahia. Fernando Diniz was satisfied with the way Tricolor played.
– When I speak, not only São Paulo has difficulties against the low line. If the team has good players and a good coach, it is difficult. And so it was today, as it was against Ceará. We have little time, but we train. Yesterday, it wasn’t just for recreation. We show videos. And we have a training base for that – said Fernando Diniz.
– In the first semester we have already done well, but in the second we have evolved and we have suffered calculated risks. We create countless chances to score, even before scoring, and we mature. Then when Bahia was gone a bit, we had more space to play – he completed.

In the second part, one of Fernando Diniz’s “calculated risks” was to withdraw Luan to the defense, after leading Léo to the entrance of Tchê Tchê. Despite having given results, the technician admits that improvisation cannot be routine.
– This is something that can happen, it is always in mind, but at first it is not what we do, have Luan in defense. He plays well as a second midfielder, he is trained to play defense, on the wing. It is well known that I like that players play in more than one position and train for it. Today the situation appeared and I thought it was a way to change the creation for the better – Diniz explained.

– Reinaldo will always be cited as an example of improvement. It is very difficult to start as it started and come back to the top. It is a great reference for all of us. It was not only offensive, but also in defense, in addition to technical leadership, it is important in the management of the group. He is a guy who is among the best left backs in Brazil. He’s a guy who can apply for a shot at the national team at any time.
– We have the habit of analyzing a footballer for what he is in his biological part, and I don’t work like that. How can you say that the team is tired if the second half comes and the team only increases the pace and acceleration? And when he tied with Ceará it was the same, we played up, we tried to score the goal, the whole game, with travel clothes, dry field, a strategy that we used against ourselves … So, because of what is happening in the game, it is not that today he won 3-1 and the team showed that it is not tired. The team is running a lot. He is perhaps the one with the least number of injuries in the Championship (of Brazil), so the physical part of the team is good.
