Rivaldo said he was sad not to be chosen to play. « I’m hurt, because i would like to participate, » he said. “It was a humiliation for me. I’m so happy to play for Sao Paulo that I’m desperate to help. Young players went in and they have a career lying in front of them, but I could have helped with my passing game and I could have brought tranquility to the team. Unfortunately he didn’t give me the opportunity.”
To which Carpegiani replied that he didn’t have to comment on Rivaldo’s outburst. “He is available to the club, and if I use or not is my problem. If I don’t use him, I have my reasons and he should respect them as a professional.”
