After a 1-1 draw with Coritiba this Saturday (15) at MorumBIS, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, defensive midfielder Pablo Maia spoke in the mixed zone.
“It’s hard to talk. I think we have to be more focused throughout the whole game, not just for part of it. I think we have to stay alert, stay focused, and give our best every single minute. We had a first half in which we managed to impose what the coach told us to do. So I think we have to work on this point of concentration from the beginning to the end of the game,” he said.
The player also praised the fans’ support and asked them to show up for the match against Bolívar-BOL next Tuesday (18) in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.
“Starting tomorrow, we have to switch gears because we have a very important game on Tuesday, here at MorumBIS, with the support of our fans. Today they supported us, and I hope they support us again on Tuesday so that we can give our best together with them,” he concluded.
Tricolor’s next challenge will be against Bolívar-BOL on Tuesday (18) at 9:30 p.m., once again at MorumBIS, in the second leg of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana round of 16. In the Brasileirão, São Paulo return to the field against Chapecoense on Sunday (23) at 6:30 p.m. at Arena Condá, in Chapecó (SC).
