Furthermore, Lucas also revealed that the fact that he went to warm up with his teammates was a strategy for the confrontation, and explained the reason. According to him, it had been known for a few days that he would not be able to play in the final, but the secret was kept thinking about the match.
“I was stunned (in the team’s warm-up), it was very difficult to miss out on a final. But it’s part of football. I was there trying to give strength to my companions. I already knew I was going to be out, it was all just another strategy to avoid talking to my opponent. I’m going to be away for a few days treating“, completed the player after the title.
If the period stipulated by Lucas is confirmed, he will be out of Tricolor’s next four games, all for the Campeonato Paulista. The return would be against the Inter de Limeiraaway from home, on the 21st. Before that, São Paulo is now preparing to face the Holy Water next Wednesday, 7th, at Morumbis.
