Luxemburgo and the coordinator of the Health and Performance Unit discuss in the backstage of the Corinthians


The Corinthians coach says the physio wants to influence the teams’ lineups




The atmosphere behind the scenes at the Corinthians isn’t the best. Last Saturday, the 26th, before the match against Goiás, the coach of the team, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, and the coordinator of the Health and Performance Center, Bruno Mazziotti, had an argument in front of the players and coaches.

The discussion began after Luxemburgo made a complaint to Mazziotti, who didn’t like the tone in which he was quoted, and started the misunderstanding, immediately appeased by those close to him.

The dissatisfaction of the Corinthians coach with Bruno is nothing new, and has increased in recent days, in the run-up to the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Sudamericana, when Corinthians will face Estudiantes, in La Plata, this Tuesday 29.



For Luxemburgo, the coordinator of the Health and Performance Center tries to intrude on the lineups and get into things he shouldn’t. The beginning of this dissatisfaction came in Bruno’s attempt to hasten the recovery of defender Lucas Veríssimo, who was signed last month on loan from Benfica in Portugal and starts.

The situation worsened after Mazziotti said Renato Augusto would have to undergo physical tests to find out if he could play against Estudiantes. Renato Augusto has been linked by Luxa and is in Argentina with the rest of the cast. He should start against Estudiantes.

The rest of the team is not comfortable with the attitude of the managers, a large part of the team has a good relationship with Bruno Mazziotti and considers Luxemburgo’s reaction exaggerated.
