Remodeling of Dorival's cast continues without making room for two of Rogério Ceni's ex-boyfriends in São Paulo
Since his arrival at São Paulo at the end of last month, rotation in the starting 11 has been Dorival Júnior's trademark. However, two pieces that until then were in constant play with the original Rogério Ceni remain forgotten: right-back Nathan and midfielder Jhegson Méndez.

But in one fell swoop, Tricolor lost two important right-backs to injury in the Campeonato Paulista controversy: Rafinha and Igor Vinícius. + Messi does not need to renew with PSG: we list 50 players with contracts until June. Orejuela, who returned from loan at the end of 2022 and was a strong candidate to be traded, ended up getting the chance. He was also injured. The solution that São Paulo found was to pass on to Coxa Liziero, another who won't have many better opportunities, to bring Nathan back. And Cotia's calf seemed to settle into place, bouncing and bouncing. Even after hiring Raí Ramos from Ituano after Estdual, Ceni seemed to continue betting on the boy. Until he was called up in his last third game in charge, a goalless draw with Itu's team in the first game of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. It was his eighth game of the year. And the last one so far. With Dorival, the midfielder has been inconsistent in some games. Rafinha recovered from his injury. Earjuela is like that. And the Colombian, constantly criticized by the fans, played with a new commander in the return game against Ituano in the Copa do Brasil. Méndez arrived at Morumbi as one of the club's biggest signings of the season. Not surprisingly, as he was a starter for Ecuador in the last World Cup, in Qatar. Ceni's original plan was to use him as a second midfielder. But the Ecuadorian from MLS (American league) said he was not physically used to the demands of Brazil. He was forgotten and soon took over as a starter, with Luan, Pablo Maia and Gabriel Neves dropped to the reserves. The only time the fans opposed Méndez was in the Paulistão quarter-finals, when the midfielder wasted the decisive penalty against Água Santa, which ended up sealing the tricolor of the tournament. Even so, it didn't seem to shake Ceni's confidence, who continued to use it. The total number of games was 14. The last of them was the defeat to Botafogo, in the first game of the Brasileirão. The non-use of Méndez was questioned by Dorival, who revealed Ceni's initial plans to use him as a second midfielder. This time without going back. + Check out the games and results of the Brasileirão-23 classification in the LANCE table!
