What can Ceni do?

Firstly, São Paulo is very far from its history, but what can Ceni do?

A glorious past

At first, anyone who knows São Paulo's glorious past has a hard time believing that the team we see today is the same as its history.

And in fact it is not, winner of three Libertadores, 3 World Cups, today the team fights against relegation almost every other year.

Such a winner in the Telê Santana era, today the team suffers game after game, and fights to remain in series A of Brazilian football.

What happened to that São Paulo?

However, São Paulo had a series of Presidents who did not think about the club and increased the club's debt absurdly.

Furthermore, they signed low quality players with long contracts and high salaries, and many with commissions paid to agents.

With the debt increasing, and the quality of the team falling, São Paulo spent 9 years without winning anything, and fighting to remain in the football elite.

Ceni's return

The tricolor idol Rogério Ceni agreed to return to the Morumbi club after the Paulista champion left for the Hernan Crespo club.

An agreement almost simultaneously with the Argentine's departure, after all, on the same day that Crespo left, Rogério arrived.

However, the team is not going through a good phase, and this has been the case for many years now, but Ceni's arrival seems to have given the team a boost.

This has not yet turned into a sequence of good results, but the question is what can Ceni do?

As time passes we see a limited team on the field, without much prospect of improvement, but there is room for improvement.

For goals we don't have anyone better than Volpi at the moment, when Perri came on he didn't play well, it could be due to a lack of rhythm, but we don't have time.

The sides have been a problem, at the moment Igor Vinícius and Reinaldo think they are the best choice, as we don't have anything better.

At the same time as the defense duo, Miranda and Arboleda seem to be the best we have at the moment.

However, our midfield can be improved, Sara and Nestor are playing well, now Igor Gomes and Vitor Bueno are unable to be in the team.

Contrary to what Rogério Ceni thinks, I don't see these two players helping our team.

The game against Sport showed that Benítez needs to be in the starting lineup, despite not helping much in marking.

I don't think the Argentine is a great, but at the moment he helps a lot in creating offensive plays.

Furthermore, he gives the team more speed. Benítez could replace Vitor Bueno.

However, in place of Igor Gomes, Luan would enter as the first midfielder, and Nestor, Sara and Benítez would be left to set up the team.

With Calleri and Rigoni in attack, Luciano is out due to injury. I believe it could improve the team's performance.
