Rogério Ceni's confidant, Rafinha kept control of the former goalkeeper's replacement, Dorival Júnior. And, at 37 years old, the midfielder had his name remembered this week by Flamengo fans, where he played in 2019, for his leadership. And that's why São Paulo had to put its foot down and veto the veteran's departure to Coritiba, the tournament where he performed, right after the tournament. It was the second time that the Paraná team held the football tournament with the player. According to LANCE! show, at the beginning of the year Coxa offered him a program to end his career at Couto Pereira.

Pablo Maia's team was being considered for a transfer to the England team; seeks value expected by São Paulo 05/13/2023 + São Paulo seeks first victory in history at Estádio do Corinto; Remembering the fans In an interview with 'TNT Sports', Rafinha recalled the debate and revealed details of the reasons that made him stay at Morumbi, where he has a commitment until the end of the year, when his contract ends. - Everyone knows the love I have for Coritiba, I graduated there, I am eternally grateful to Coritiba. Yes, there is this problem (club system), but I am committed to São Paulo, I am very happy here too and São Paulo trusts me and has no intention of releasing me. - I'm very happy here, I have a lot of clarity, I have a lot of love for Coritiba, I made it very clear that it is my desire to end my career at Coritiba. I didn't want to get there by stretching myself. There was this problem, but São Paulo also counted on me and they didn't want to release me, I didn't want to create the problem because I'm very happy here - said the veteran. Rafinha also took the opportunity to talk about Ceni, with whom he is very close. The full-back was one of those who spoke to the board to try to keep the former goalkeeper at goal, as L highlighted! . When asked what he thought the former commander lacked, he was adamant. - I don’t see this situation as ‘lost’, who am I to say that to Rogério? It was very successful in São Paulo. This is also difficult for him because he doesn't play for any other club, just São Paulo. It is difficult to find anyone in history who represents São Paulo better than Rogério. Carrying this weight of being a São Paulo idol is difficult. - He has a job, he himself knows what will happen at his job. I wasn't the one who told Rogério what had happened. He did an incredible job for us here, it's a shame we didn't win titles, but we reached 2 finals. At the beginning of 2022, who said we would reach two finals? Nobody. Rogério, like us, has his weaknesses. He knows what needs to be better, I'm not the one who tells him what he needs. I have no problems with Rogério here, I learned a lot from him - says the participant. + Check out the games and games at the LANCE table!
