The name of Rogério Ceni in the selection of the Paulista Championship caused surprise in most of the fans, on social networks and even those present at the closing party held yesterday (4). How was São Paulo elected the best coach, beating Abel Ferreira, the Palmeiras coach, even after the 4-0 win at Allianz Parque?
What was decisive for the choice is that the voting was closed before the return match. That is, voters made their choices under the impact of the 3 to 1 applied by Tricolor in Morumbi. As I knew the blogvotes began to be cast in the semifinals and the beginning of the dispute was very fierce between the former goalkeeper and the Portuguese from Palmeiras.
After the first leg, practically all the votes that reached the São Paulo Federation of Soccer went to Rogério Ceni, deciding the election. Despite being the victor, São Paulo did not attend the ceremony. Rafinha and Calleri, other runners-up who were awarded, were at the event.
The electoral college was formed by 16 technicians and 16 captains from each participating team. The rule was that no one could vote for their own teammate.
The ones chosen for the selection of Paulistão in addition to coach Rogério Ceni were: Weverton; Rafinha, Léo Ortiz, Gustavo Gómez and Luan Cândido; Danilo, Renato Augusto and Raphael Veiga; Dudu, Arthur and Calleri.
São Paulo was one of the teams that had the most evolution throughout the State, especially after Ceni selected a team with more boys from Cotia. Even so, the election of São Paulo as the best in the competition caused surprise due to the crushing defeat and the bad performance of São Paulo at Allianz.
