Clean in Sao Paulo squad? Crespo wants to reconstitute the Tricolor team

Sao Paulo lost to Red Bull Bragantino 1-0, in a match in the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship, held at Vila Belmiro Stadium. After the match, coach Hernan Crespo held a press conference and stressed that the club must undergo major changes in the squad for next season.

According to information from journalist Cosme Remoli, the Argentine coach presented to President Julio Casares a plan to reshape the tri-color team. The idea is to reduce the average age of the team, which currently includes 13 players over the age of 30.

Check out the list of São Paulo veterans:

• Louise Gustavo – 38 years old
• Rafael – 36 years old
• Rafael Toloy – 35 years old
• Oscar – 34 years old
• Arboleda – 34 years old
• Cedric – 34 years old
• Lucas Moura – 33 years old
• Wendel – 32 years old
• Alison – 32 years old
• Rigoni – 32 years old
• Callery – 32 years old
• Luciano – 32 years old
• Denino – 31 years old

Crespo, who intends to remain in charge of Tricolor in 2026, said the reconstruction process will be gradual and will require patience.

“There will be changes, let’s believe and hope. Maybe I will not be the protagonist, because it will take many years.” The Argentine coach said.

With the FIFA data break, São Paulo, who currently ranks eighth in the Brazilian League with 45 points, will only return to action on Day 20, when they face Corinthians, at the New Quimica Arena, in Matchday 34 of the competition.
