Carpini regrets defeat and explains James outside of penalties: “We have a…”

A few minutes after deleting the São Paulo in the Campeonato Paulista, the team's coach, Thiago Carpini, held a press conference to comment on the stumble. Regretting the ups and downs of his work at the club so far, the professional also explained why James Rodríguez was not chosen to take a penalty.

“We understand the fans' frustration, which is the same as ours and everyone in the locker room. It's just the beginning of the work. We've had two months with ups and downs already. The elimination is tough, the fans did their part, but we didn't achieve the goal, which was the goal of all of us. The important decisions are just beginning. Apart from what happened today, I don't think we have a negative balance”, said the coach who was called stupid after the defeat.

Furthermore, Carpini also commented on the embezzlement of Calleriout from the start, and Ferreirinha, who had to leave during the match due to injury. Finally, the coach commented on the choice to leave the Colombian James Rodríguez from outside the penalty shots, which ended up being charged by the fans.

“Regarding penalties, we have a report of what we worked on during the week with the percentage of each one, but on the day we also listen to the athlete's feedback, whether they are safe or not, and we have to take that into account too, if the athlete is comfortable or not. (He didn't ask not to hit). But other athletes spoke out before about hitting, we waited for the athletes to speak out and continued like that. I would like to highlight Diego's personality, who wanted to beat him. We all make mistakes and we land on our feet, convinced of what was done”, he added.

In this way, São Paulo was once again eliminated in the quarterfinals of Paulistão, for the second year in a row. The team's next commitment will only be in the debut of the Brazilian Championship, against Strengthbut with a date and time to be confirmed by the CBF during the period.
