Starting with the defensive system. Veteran veterans Rinaldo and Miranda, far from the undisputed comfortable position on the team, have fared well. The left-back scored and assisted goals, as well as a good compatibility with Marquinhos in the sector.
The defender, who is living a season below expectations, gave a safe performance and won most individual controversies. Alongside Leo, Miranda spearheaded a defensive system that allowed goalkeeper Jandrei to cool off the afternoon, despite facing the second most effective attack in the state.
In the midfield, Andres played for the first time as a starter, and Nikao won by minutes in the second half. In attack, Luciano and Juan started the match, but it was Emiliano Rigoni and Toro who finished the afternoon with confidence.
They both shook the nets of Mirasol, and broke a long fast with a Tricolor shirt.

Rigoni, whose goal Rogerio Ceni celebrated so often, hasn’t scored since last October. There were 19 fasting matches, an uncomfortable sign for someone who was the protagonist of the team’s novel a few months ago.
On the other hand, Toro celebrated in the team after pre-season, celebrating for the last time a goal with a shirt Sao Paulo In December 2020, before leaving on loan to Sport and Atlético-GO last year. A goal that symbolizes something that Rogerio Ceni praised at Sunday’s press conference.
The cast is in good shape. Perhaps the cast will come out better than the team. We were playing at a similar pace even with the exchanges. Today I think it was eight compared to the last game. If she didn’t have great football, she showed a good level of play, a good level of competitiveness. “I think he’s at a higher stage than when we finished the Brazilian,” said the coach.

Rogerio Ceni has kept the formation of the last matches, but was happy to pick Marquinhos’ heart in regards to the match against Palmeiras. The young striker started the match on the left and provided depth to the team in partnership with Rinaldo, who ended up being the highlight of the afternoon in Mirasol.
The choice to put Rigoni as the attacking reference in the second half was also correct. As a model striker, the role he has played is very little since he came to him Sao Paulothe Argentine completed a cross from Rinaldo and made it 2-0.

Rogerio Ceni himself diagnosed that Sao Paulo. On Sunday, after a good start, the team saw Mirassol grow and get bigger, especially in the midfield sector.
However, consistent defensive action allowed Jandry to live out a much calmer afternoon. Against the most competitive teams, however, this break in rhythm can be penalized, particularly by a playoff show from Paulistau, with unique matches in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
