Dorival Jr lives dilemma in the Copa do Brasil

O São Paulo life plays this Tuesday, 25th, to try to qualify in the Brazil’s Cup. Dorival Jr. has not yet defined the lineup that will start the match against Ituano, since the coach faces a dilemma to decide who will be the holder of the left side of São Paulo. The coach, in his debut against America-MG, made changes and banked Patrick among the starting 11.

The boy is seen as a great jewel in São Paulo, but he still hasn’t managed to have a performance of great prominence. Meanwhile, in the last round of Paulistão, when he gave way to Caio Paulista, the defender saw his positional rival get in better and give more options to the offensive sector mounted by Dorival Jr. In this way, the São Paulo coach faces a real dilemma to define the holder against Ituano in the Copa do Brasil.

Another change that should happen in the São Paulo team is the departure of Raí Ramos. The right-back, who played for Ituano, already participated in the tournament with the red-negro shirt and cannot be used by Dorival Jr in the competition. Therefore, the tendency is for Rafinha to gain an opportunity as a starter in the right sector of the tricolor team. This will be the first time that the player will play in the starting 11 of the new coach.

With these possible changes, the tendency is for Dorival Jr to maintain a base in relation to the team that won América-MG for the Brasileirão. In this way, the probable lineup of São Paulo will have the following players: Rafael; Rafinha, Beraldo, Arboleda and Patryck (Caio Paulista); Luan, Pablo Maia, Nestor and Michel Araújo; Luciano and Calleri.
