Juanfran explodes: “If I have to be screwed because they talk shit, let them talk”

Sao Paulo is going through a more than complicated moment. Since his elimination in the Copa do Brasil against Gremio, he has had bad results and still does not know the victory at Brasileirao in 2021 after losing 4-2 to RB Bragantino, 0-1 to Santos, drawing 1-1 against Athlético Paranense and losing 1-5 tonight against Internacional de Porto Alegre in Morumbi in a key match.

Caio and Cuesta opened the scoring and Luciano closed the gap but, in the second half, Yuri Alberto blew up the game with a hat-trick. A tough defeat that took away their leadership after blowing up an important advantage in a losing streak when the championship reaches its most decisive stretch (seven games remain).

Faced with the criticism of the team and him, Juanfran Torres, former Atlético among others, came out and was very clear to the media. After explaining that their heads are not in the best conditions after their elimination in the Cup, this had more impact on their situation.

“I speak from my heart because I don't know how to speak otherwise. I had offers from other teams to leave but decided to stay here until the end. Champion or not, I will be proud to wear this shirt. I don't know what will happen next year but from now until the end I will leave life. It has not been the best for me to stay here these two months, I do not know if Sao Paulo will want to renew me but I am going to leave my life until the end. If I have to be screwed because they talk shit about me until the end of the year, let them talk. Let them laugh at me because I said I would win with Sao Paulo. I still believing. I will leave my life from here until the end “, he assured, rejecting any kind of harmful criticism completely.

“I repeat, I could have left and not justify anything in this situation we are in but I will not. I am proud to wear this shield. My position from here to the end will be the same. Playing good or bad, I'm going to give up my life to be a champion with this team. Seven games to go, “he stressed, maintaining faith in the championship.

In two days, both Juanfran and his team will be able to redeem themselves by receiving Coritiba in Morumbi (11:00 p.m. Spanish time). The Brazilian championship will close in less than a month and the São Paulo team has fewer opportunities against Athlético Goianense, Palmeiras, Ceará, Gremio, Botafogo and Flamengo to try to cut the two points of advantage that the Colorados took this Wednesday.
