O São Paulo takes the field this Saturday, at 9pm (Brasília time), for his first match in the Brazilian Championship 2024. The tricolor team faces the Fortaleza, at MorumBis, under suspicion from the fans. Coach Thiago Carpini is rocking his position and does not count on the prestige of the São Paulo team, who hope to see the team have a more solid campaign in the competition this season.
Despite the 2-0 victory over Cobresal on Wednesday, São Paulo’s first in the Copa Libertadores, the team was booed off the field. The team led by Carpini had many difficulties against the Chileans, who have not yet won this season, and came under pressure from the opponent, putting the positive result in question. André Silva, with a goal, and Calleri, catching a rebound from the goalkeeper, saved the coach’s work.

Even with the fans disbelieving Carpini’s work, the coach has the support of the players and the board, who believe in an improvement in the team’s performance throughout the season. In 16 games this year, São Paulo won seven, drew six and lost three, scoring 24 goals and being leaked 15 times. The tricolor team won the Brazilian Super Cup by beating Palmeiras on penalties, but was defeated in the final by Novorizontino and fell in the quarterfinals of Paulistão, which ended with the rival champion.
