See Rogério Ceni’s press conference after São Paulo 0 x 1 São Bernardo
With 20 points, the São Paulo has the same score as Água Santa, but better goal difference. Diadema’s team, which will be the rival in the quarterfinals, can go through if they beat São Bernardo next week, away from home, and Tricolor stumble inside.
– Today’s defeat is a big loss. If you choose to play against Corinthians with your fans in another stadium or at their home, it’s better to play with your fans. Let’s wait for the round to end, but the loss of today’s defeat is very big – said the coach.

O São Paulo already knows that he will not be able to use Morumbi in the quarterfinals and, eventually, in the semifinals, since the stadium was rented for concerts by the band Coldplay. There is an agreement with Palmeiras for the use of Allianz Parque, but Ceni does not confirm that he will play there, if necessary.
– If it is first place, we will choose a field with good grass, there will be less fans. But we have to think about Botafogo to finish first in the group.

Ceni stated that the São Paulo he missed a lot of passes in the first half against São Bernardo, who scored the winning goal three minutes into the match, and admitted that his rival deserved the victory.
– I thought it was worthy. Although we controlled possession, passing, they had the best opportunities, a ball on the beam and one in which Alan Franco takes it over the line – he said.
The coach also defended midfielder Rodrigo Nestor, who was booed as he left the pitch.
– You have to keep improving, evolve, gain muscle mass. You can’t get down with the boos, it’s hard to lose again with 50,000 people (in the stadium). Let this defeat serve as a lesson for us.
