Yuri Alberto sees the ‘personal victory’ in the match against Portuguesa


Yuri Alberto scored the goal of Corinthians’ 2-0 victory in the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista




After Corinthians’ 2-0 victory over Portuguesa, this Sunday (11), at the Neo Química Arena, striker Yuri Alberto defined the sensation after scoring Timão’s winning goal. The center forward has been facing criticism and even jokes since the last stretch of 2023. This is the number 9’s second goal of the season. His first goal, however, was scored in the last minutes of the 3-1 defeat against Novorizontino, last week.

“It was a very important personal victory. I have to thank God, my family and all those who help me, who support me, like my physiologist, my psychologist, my team. And also António Oliveira. There, when I was leaving Santos and no one else had the obligation to help me, he helped me. It was a great victory at home and now it’s about bringing the fans even closer to us”, began Yuri Alberto.

Also in this sense, Yuri Alberto spoke about the period in which he had to face a lot of criticism.

“It’s very rewarding, but it’s also very sad when things don’t go well. It was a difficult time for me, but my teammates supported me, my family. I forget when I’m with my daughter at home. Thanks to my daughter the whole family for their support”, added Yuri Alberto.

With this result Corinthians shook off the bad phase of the Campeonato Paulista, after all there were five consecutive defeats. Now, Timão has six points in seven games, but is still at the bottom of Group C. In fact, Timão is four points behind Inter de Limeira, who still play in the group, and five behind Red Bull Bragantino. Third place goes to Mirassol, who entered the group with nine and is still playing in the group.

Yuri Alberto’s team thus leaves Z2, but Santo André (2) and Guarani (4) still play in the group. The first phase of the competition, it is worth remembering, includes 12 rounds. Corinthians will therefore play five more matches and could even qualify for the quarter-finals.
