Pablo Maia signs new São Paulo deal, targets Brazil return | OneFootball

This Sunday, São Paulo defeated Atlético-MG without any issues at Morumbi, 2-0, and remained close to the G6 in the Brazilian Championship. Author of one of the team's goals, Pablo Maia celebrated his contract renewal with the club until 2029 and put the Brazilian National Team as one of his goals.

"I'm very happy to be renewing with São Paulo, which is my home. We crowned it with this victory. We have to keep adding points to stay at the top of the table. I'm very happy to be helping São Paulo," said the player.

"Every player aims to reach the National Team. I also want to return. It's about doing my best here at the club and doing my part so that new opportunities can come," he added.

Pablo Maia also talked about the difficult sequence of injuries. In February this year, he had to undergo surgery on his ankle shortly after recovering from a muscle problem that kept him out of almost the entire last season.

"Thank God I had the support of everyone at the club. After the second injury, it was sad. I was returning and had to undergo surgery. It's not easy for any player. But I had a strong, positive head, knowing that everything would be okay. I'm very happy to be returning and helping São Paulo," he celebrated.

With the victory, Tricolor reaches eight games without a loss in the Brazilian Championship. The team is in seventh place, with 32 points, the same score as sixth-placed Mirassol.

São Paulo's next commitment is in a week. On Saturday, the team will travel to Belo Horizonte to face vice-leader Cruzeiro at Mineirão. The match, valid for the 22nd round of Series A, is scheduled for 9 PM (Brasília time).
