The Paulista Football Federation (FPF), organizer of the Paulista Women’s Championship, has created contradictory situations for coach Arthur Elias, of Corinthians. Last year, the entity scored a classic against Palmeiras between the two matches of the Brazilian final against Internacional and the coach complained. Now, in 2023, it has also annoyed that Timão has not played more classics at home, unlike his rivals.
According to the schedule of the Paulista classification phase, Corinthians have only been at home against São Paulo in their debut. They have already faced Ferroviária and Palmeiras as visitors and will face Santos again, for the fifth round, at the Vila Belmiro stadium, in Santos.
So, regardless of the arbitration, the focus is always on the performance of my team, which is in this positive balance for the frequency of matches, it’s the fifth consecutive, classic consecutive match (also counting the Brazilian). We won four and drew away against Palmeiras, on a pitch that is so difficult to play, it’s not a bad result. Even if we have to think about why the Federation has put three of the classic four that we have to play away from home” he assessed in an interview with Central do Timão.
“São Paulo, Santos, Palmeiras, Ferroviária and us. We are the only team that plays three classics away, something I found strange. But we are facing and dealing with the difficulties we have in the calendar and we are first in the Brazilian table. We are now going to recover and go on a long journey to try to get the three points there (in Caçador, Santa Catarina, against Avaí / Kindermann) and continue in first place. I think we are on the right track with the classification in Paulista too” concluded the coach.
