Decisive week for Rogério Ceni
This is the decisive week for Rogério Ceni, the São Paulo tricolor is experiencing the most decisive week of the season.
Just over 15 days ago, São Paulo Futebol Clube was alive in two World Cups. Their fans were excited, and supporting their fans.
After 15 days, the team is under pressure, poorly in the Brazilian championship and breathing on life support in the cups.
In this way, the fans are putting pressure on the team, criticizing Rogério Ceni, it is in this climate that the team will play its life on Thursday.
São Paulo in Brazilian
At first, the team is not far from the last placed, the stage is very bad. The team has won just one match out of the last 5.
Being a draw and 3 defeats, against the Cuiabá team the team tied in the second half.
With 30 points in 25 matches, and a difference of just 2 goals, fans are afraid of seeing the team relegated.
The São Paulo team is one of the only teams that has never suffered relegation. If the campaign doesn't improve, it could be 2022 for the first time.
So, the club arrived for the game against Cuiabá, the fans welcomed the team at the entrance to the Hotel. Many supporting, but some with bad words aimed at coach Rogério Ceni.
The coach did not take the insults well, showing some nervousness, right in the decisive week for Rogério Ceni.
In the South American Cup
Firstly, the fans created great expectations for the Copa Sudamericana, trusting in a title that year.
Facing Atlético Goianiense, with a recently hired coach, the fans believed in a good result.
Everyone expected a draw, or even a victory by one goal difference, the match was seen as the game of the year.
Since São Paulo doesn't know how to face very closed teams, playing against a closed Atlético Goianiense at Morumbi will be difficult.
But, in the first leg, the team lost 3-1, the fans did not understand the team chosen by Rogério Ceni.
Few understand Rogério's insistence on Igor Gomes, who hasn't played well for a long time.
When Igor Gomes had another bad game, he managed to be sent off in a play in the middle of the field. Thus disrupting the coach’s entire planning.
In this way, the fans saw a team suffering in the most important match of the year. All due to Rogério Ceni's insistence on Igor Gomes.
Thus, the decisive week for Rogério Ceni will be this week, the return game will be on Thursday. In case of defeat, the pressure will increase a lot. It could even lead to dismissal.
In the Brazilian Cup
While the return game in South America will be at Morumbi, in Brazil's Cup it will be at Maracanã.
If fans still believe in recovery in the Copa Sul Americana, the Copa do Brasil is very difficult.
Facing Flamengo at Maracanã, needing to reverse the 3-1 score suffered at Morumbi, is almost impossible.
I said almost, since São Paulo is the Faith team, however, this will be the decisive week for Rogério Ceni.
In case of classification against Atlético Goianiense, the team continues working and dreaming of another title.
After all, the team will be in the South American final, in case of defeat, I don't know if the board will keep Ceni in his position.
Congratulations to the fans
The fans are to be congratulated, in more than 10 consecutive games the audience has been above 30 thousand fans.
This year Morumbi received more than 1 million fans, as always, the fans are the club's greatest asset.
May these fans see a team with determination, that fights for this classification until the end. In the decisive week for Rogério Ceni, only after the game on Thursday will we know how the coach's night ends.
