His perspective hints at a nuanced understanding of the competition's importance; he emphasizes that the title may not matter as much for his team due to their richer history in recent years. However, this opens up a debate amongst analysts and fans about whether Palmeiras has become complacent regarding the Paulistão and if a more assertive pursuit of this title is necessary given their past accolades.
