00:00São Paulo sleeps soundly, ending an eight-game winless streak and heading home with qualification secured.
00:07This is the round of 16 match in the Copa Sudamericana. I'm going to give you an analysis of the game and tell you how it went.
00:13a little bit
00:13This Tuesday night, it wasn't as cold as last Tuesday was here in Borumbuiz.
00:19So Tricolor managed to win 2-0 against Boston River, a team that had already been eliminated from the Cup.
00:26South American
00:26So they already had that advantage there, and a cast, a lineup that was quite different, you know, there were some new faces there.
00:34Especially in defense, which has been one of São Paulo's strong points this season, they're without Arboleda.
00:39With Sabino injured,
00:41Toló was back on the bench, but even though he was a more experienced option, Darival chose to have him play.
00:46Osório, right?
00:47A player who came up through the youth system in Cotia, he's being tested there, he should get more playing time, he's being viewed favorably, right?
00:54During the week, Isaac and Igão, who are also children from Cotia, trained at the Barra Funda training center.
00:58They weren't selected for this game; the choice was Osório, and he performed well, didn't he?
01:04So we can highlight him here, because he was a player who managed to handle the...
01:10wiretaps,
01:11They managed to handle the defenses there, they managed to hold Boston River quite well, and São Paulo was very creative.
01:16Especially in the first half, they were a team that knew how to dominate, that knew how to impose their game, right?
01:22Arthur was there, and he's been one of the standout players; Arthur arrived right after Roger Machado.
01:27It had been a request from the former coach, but it has been working very well, he has managed to secure his starting position there.
01:33He plays a little more centrally, but he's very involved in the attack, very involved in the game's actions.
01:37And he went there, he did it, he scored, he also influenced São Paulo's second goal, which was an own goal by
01:44Acosta,
01:45Boston River player, right, defender there for Boston River, the play goes through him, goes through Caleri and gives
01:53A goal for São Paulo indeed,
01:54And Tricolor is facing a problem even with the victories that have been seen in recent games.
01:59What's the drop in performance, especially in the second half, right? So, when you compare São Paulo to São Paulo, it's a team that...
02:03the numbers,
02:03If you compare the performance, you see this explicit drop, right? A drop in the volume of play, in creation, in finishing.
02:09This is something that was discussed in Dorival's press conference, it was also discussed in the Zona Mass, and by Arthur himself.
02:13He spoke about it.
02:14And he said in an interview, right, that they still don't understand what's happening, whether it's a psychological issue,
02:18Whether it's a matter of wear and tear, of exhaustion, but it's a scenario that has been frequent.
02:22If you look mainly at the last three games, right, São Paulo ended up drawing in those games,
02:26They were goals that came in the second half, so that's an issue that Dorival is evaluating.
02:31It's also being evaluated by the players, and we'll see if it's corrected in the next few games.
02:35But São Paulo is going home happy, going home already qualified, right?
02:39The board's interpretation is that the Copa Sudamericana is the most likely path to a title.
02:43The goal in the Brazilian Championship is to qualify for the Copa Libertadores, right?
02:47It seems like Tricolor ended up like that because of last year's results, right?
02:51from last year's Brasileirão table,
02:53And São Paulo bids farewell to the series of games before the World Cup break.
02:57this Sunday against Remo, a game that takes place in Pará for the Brazilian Championship,
03:02Which is to also take it easy in the Brasileirão, given this absence, this break, right?
03:05not to be too far from G4,
03:07And let's see what happens next, you know, how the next chapters will be.
03:10Dorival has already said that he wants to have some injured players returning.
03:13For example, Marcos Antônio, who was left out,
03:16Sabido himself was also left out, Luciano was also left out.
