Luxembourg softens Salvador’s bad game and bets on the Copa do Brasil: “Team ready to decide”

The coach praises the tactical posture and is already thinking about the formation for the match against San Paolo

Vanderlei Luxembourg favorite to soften the nasty kick presented by the Corinthians largely on par with the Bahia0 to 0, this Saturday 22, in Salvador, and bet on a team with attitude for the first match of the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil, on Tuesday, at the Neo Química Arena, against São Paulo.

“We have earned four points out of a possible six. If we had this performance since the beginning of the Brazilian championship, our standings would be different. We have to evaluate the result,” said Luxemburgo, at a press conference. He was keen to underline the performance of defender Gil, heavily criticized by some fans a few weeks ago.

The Corinthian coach also praised the team’s tactical attitude. “In the first half we played more closed to hold up the pressure from the opponent. Then with lighter players we had the chance to ‘kill’ the game.”

Luxemburgo declined to say whether he will use the three-back system against São Paulo. “Here we played three in the first half and then four. My players are ready to act in any way. In a decision everything is different and the team is ready to decide on Tuesday. I won’t give them any information (San Paolo). What I know is that the game will be at home and the fans will be fundamental.”
