Dorival Júnior: Playing away from Morumbis impacts São Paulo's results

São Paulo manager Dorival Júnior has spoken candidly about the challenges his team faces due to their inability to play all home matches at the Morumbis stadium. The venue's schedule, which frequently includes large-scale concert events, has forced the club to play at alternative locations, a situation the coach believes directly impacts their consistency.

Reflecting on his previous tenure at the club, Dorival noted a 75% success rate when playing at home. He argued that the absence of their primary venue for several matches this season has created an additional degree of difficulty for the squad as they look to maintain their performance levels.

In my last stint at São Paulo, we had a 75% success rate at the Morumbi. So, I think that explains the level of difficulty we have when we don't have the Morumbi for all of our matches. It's a situation that is already set; we have to understand it and try to find solutions. Dorival Júnior

The team recently played an away fixture in Bragança Paulista against Athletico Paranaense and faces a period without matches at home. They are scheduled to return to the Morumbis on August 15 for a match against Coritiba.

Despite the unfavorable scenario, the coach emphasized that the team must adapt and find ways to overcome these hurdles to stay competitive in the standings.
