São Paulo recent form could have won Cruzeiro Title

Posted in Zimbabwe Football.

São Paulo have shown enough form in recent months to suggest that they could have won the title a Cruzeiro had they been more consistent earlier in the campaign. Cruzeiro have a seven-point advantage over São Paulo after 36 matches in the season.

There are only two games left in the Brazilian Serie A, but São Paulo also have the opportunity to do well in the Copa Sudamericana. The quarter-final match with Elemec gives a lot of positivity to São Paulo given that they managed a 4-2 win in the first leg. The return leg will be away from home in Ecuador. Hence, it is not a foregone conclusion that they will reach the finals.

Midfielder Kaka, who is on loan from Orlando City, says that he is confident that the Brazilian club can complete the job in the second leg. After all, São Paulo have been defeated only twice in the last nine matches.

One of those defeats was against Atlético Mineiro, who are one of the top teams in Brazil right now. It is likely that Kaka may not play in Brazilian football anymore. He will be moving to Orlando City for the new MLS season in 2015. For the moment, he is just enjoying playing in Brazil. The former AC Milan man has made 18 appearances and scored two goals.

“Our form is very good, and we are growing together at the right time. The team has a strong group, even with the rotation of the players.We have already had a few suspensions and injuries but the group has adapted and found a way to play,” said the midfielder on the club’s official site. São Paulo prepared for this match by getting a 2-1 win over Criciúma in the league. Kaka was completely rested for this match.

Gorowa Makes It Clear That He Wishes To Stay

The manager of the Zimbabwe national football team, Ian Gorowa, has made it clear he is not going to leave his post.

Zimbabwe suffered a humiliating loss against Tanzania a few days ago with which they got out of the race of the Nations Cup finals qualification.

The fans of the Zimbabwe team were hugely disappointed after that game and rightly so. They have every right to be disappointed as their team has not given them a single moment of joy in the last 5 years or so.

Zimbabwe’s journey in the World Cup qualifying tournament was disastrous too. They couldn’t secure a victory in any of the 6 matches that they played and ended up at the last position in their group.

After that loss against Tanzania, there had been talks that Gorowa might consider to resign, but, the 42-year Old denied the possibility of that happening.

Speaking to the reporters yesterday, Gorowa said that losing the Tanzania game was gutting for him too. It left him totally devastated, but, he decided to be practical and not to take any decision while being emotional.

The Zimbabwe boss said, “It was very difficult to take, that result (against Tanzania). We let a lot of people down there and I want to convey my sincere apologies to them. I want to say sorry to the reporters as well who were waiting for me there and I didn’t come. I hope people understand how terrible I was feeling at that point of time.”

“As far as my future with Zimbabwe football is concerned, the only thing I want to say is that it was very easy for a manager to leave it all and part ways with the association after that defeat, but, I didn’t do that. My love for the nation didn’t let me do that. I am determined to bring Zimbabwe out of this situation.”
