Gabriel Sá: São Paulo Abandoned by Management and Humiliated at Maracanã
The recent match between São Paulo and Fluminense ended with a staggering 6-0 defeat for São Paulo at the Maracanã Stadium. This loss is not just a scoreline; it reflects the neglect the team has faced from its management in recent months.
Management Neglect and Team Struggles
Top executives, including President Julio Casares and Director of Football Carlos Belmonte, were absent during this crucial match. Their lack of presence symbolized a broader issue: the prioritization of political matters over football.
São Paulo entered the match with a depleted squad. The team faced 15 absences due to injuries, comprising 13 players in the medical department and two additional injuries. Coach Hernán Crespo had only 21 players available, forcing him to rely on younger, less experienced players.
