Part 2/4:
Their recent clash against Velo Clube, considered the worst team in the Campeonato Paulista, showcased just how dire the situation has become. Despite the opportunity to secure a vital victory, São Paulo's performance was lackluster, allowing Velo Clube to dominate large portions of the match. The squad appeared to play primarily on the counterattack, finding the net through moments of individual brilliance rather than cohesive teamwork.
Players like Lucas, Oscar, André Silva, and Luciano displayed flashes of skill, yet these glimpses were too infrequent to transform the outcome into a convincing win. Luciano, for instance, has faced heavy criticism from the fan base, but he scored a goal, indicating that there may still be potential worth tapping into.
