Dorival mocks critics and vents about Copa do Brasil

Dorival Jr. see the São Paulo close to titles and did not hide it after achieving a historic classification against palm trees at Brazil’s Cup. The coach arrived at the Morumbi club in May, became aware of the difficulties, but ignored them with class and so far has been doing an overwhelming job. In the coach’s view, he returned to Tricolor not just to be the ‘fireman’, but to win trophies.

“I’ve been happy with what’s been happening in São Paulo and that we don’t live what happened in the past. The coach has to be aware that this does not happen. The focus is on reaching the finals of the competitions. In my first conversation, I was coming back to finish what I started in 2017: I came back to win titles. I don’t know when it will happen, but it might happen sooner than we thought.“, he said at the beginning of the press conference.

After the victory against Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil and a place in the semifinal guaranteed, Dorival Jr still took the opportunity to mock his critics. The coach recalled that many pointed to him as “lucky” and tried to take credit for his achievements. He ironically adopted this motto and sent a message to people who didn’t trust his potential.

I keep getting lucky. I prefer to summarize it this way, so much so that the work we had there, apart from seven teams that we fought against relegation, with 12 achievements and five runners-up. It’s very lucky. We will continue to work in this direction: there is little competence, that is why we enter at 7am and leave at 7pm“, he began before asking respect for his work at São Paulo.

“The Brazilian coach never has value, he finds results, things fall into our laps. Few people will see that this team has a standard. My teams put the ball on the ground, my team doesn’t win for the sake of winning. My teams have structure. That’s why I keep working that way and hopefully“, finished.
