Cédric praises Galo, says São Paulo used to busy schedule | OneFootball

Cédric Soares believes that the grueling marathon of games São Paulo has recently had to deal with will not influence the team's performance this Sunday, when they host Atlético-MG at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Morumbis, for the 21st round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

“The team is already used to playing every three or four days. I think the team is accustomed and has been responding very positively on the field. Of course, this game will serve as further motivation, to keep working and continue this good moment the team is experiencing. We want to keep this momentum going for as long as possible, and that’s why we’ll focus on this game and try to win it,” said Cédric Soares.

The right-back is experiencing one of his best moments wearing the São Paulo jersey, but will have the tough task of stopping Atlético-MG’s attack, which features players like Rony and Dudu (Hulk will be serving a suspension).

“The Brasileirão is very competitive. All the teams are tough. Atlético-MG also has a very good team, but we believe in ourselves, we’re playing at home, with our fans, and that will certainly help us. It’s important that the team responds as it has been, we have to come out energetic from the very first moment to settle the game,” he continued.

“I think that when we’re in a positive moment, it gives us more confidence for the next game and makes us play better football. That’s also my goal, to try to help the team whenever I can so we’re closer to winning. Of course, after a good moment, it’s important to have a strong mentality to enter the Brasileirão with the same intensity and discipline to win, because it won’t be easy at all,” he added.

For this match, Cédric Soares hopes to once again experience a packed Morumbis, as it was last Tuesday, when São Paulo eliminated Atlético Nacional on penalties and qualified for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.

“The fans know how important they are to the group, and the group feels the fans. In this game, without a doubt, they were essential, as they have been in so many others, so we count on our fans’ support to be closer to winning at home, but it’s up to us to make sure we get the victory. I’m sure the team will respond,” he concluded.
