The 0-0 draw between São Paulo and Grêmio continues to make people talk, even after the final whistle. Now it was Tiago Volpi’s turn to complain about the attitude of the gaucho team, which, in his opinion, abused the wax in the field, in search of the goalless equality that would qualify him for the decision of the Copa do Brasil.
“Grêmio does not play, every time a player falls to the ground, it is the goalkeeper who takes 40, 50 seconds to make the goal shot. We warned, at half-time we said: ‘Bruno (referee), the boys want to delay the game at all times, we want to accelerate. ‘And it happened during the game, we wanted to accelerate, “said the goalkeeper, in an interview with the channel’ SporTV ‘, after the confrontation.
Volpi took the opportunity to reveal one more conversation that the São Paulo team had with the referees. The São Paulo tricolor asked for a longer time-out, in addition to the seven minutes granted in the second half.
“The only thing we told him was, if he gave 10, 12 minutes and we lose, don’t worry, we will try to make up for lost time a bit. That is our outrage. We’re not going back, we have to raise our heads, we have the Brazilian Championship ahead of us. Our pressure is for the title because we were playing football, it gives us a lot of frustration because of that, staying in a semifinal of the Copa do Brasil. “
São Paulo now “turns the tables” for the Brazilian Championship, where it is the leader, with a seven-point advantage over the vice-president, Atlético-MG. The next game is against Red Bull Bragantino, on January 6, away from home, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasilia time).
