Luxemburgo reveals that if he arrived earlier at Corinthians he would not release Biro for the Under 20s


The coach praised the youngster and regretted the embezzlement for the rest of the season

After Corinthians’ 1-1 draw against Fortaleza, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo held a press conference and commented on the performance of Guilherme Biro, a young man from the base who started well in the second phase of the match. The coach was direct and specified that, if he had arrived earlier at the club, he would have vetoed the athlete’s call-up to the under-20 team, which will compete in the category World Championship starting May 20.

– I find it difficult (expulsion), because he is the owner of the team, the national team counts a lot on him. I’ve just arrived. If I had arrived a little earlier, I would have asked him not to go, because Endrick (Palmeiras striker) didn’t go. I think that to enhance the base, and for a team that needs a talented player like him, I would have asked him to stay here. Him, Pedro, important players.

Luxa took the opportunity to praise the player and comment on some of his characteristics, such as his versatility. The ‘pofexĂ´’ also revealed what quality he considers most valuable in Biro.

– He is a very interesting player, he plays both inside and outside, left and right. And with one thing: the first move he made, he broke ranks. This is essential in football.

In the mixed zone, after the match, Guilherme Biro was asked what his wish would be: stay at Corinthians or play in the Under-20 World Cup. The midfielder said he would like to be in both places if it were possible, but underlined who will wait for directions from the club. The player would have been released for selection last Monday (08), but Corinthians managed to delay the presentation of the midfielder with the CBF until Tuesday (09).

– For me, both there and here is a unique opportunity. I can’t describe if I want to go there or stay here. If I could be in both places at the same time, that’s what I would do. I’ll wait, I’m an employee of the club. What they send me I will accept in the best possible way – said Biro.
