Coach commands the Alvinegro time for the first Wednesday, in a duel with Novorizontino for the third phase
Dorival Junior debut in office of Corinzi this Wednesday, at 9:30 pm, when Parque São Jorge’s team faces the Novorizontineaway from home, in the first game of the third phase of the Copa do brasil. The 63 -year -old coach arrives with the mission to give a standard team whose instability put a flea behind the fans’ ear on what to wait in 2025 and motivated the departure of Ramón Díaz despite the title of Saint Paul.
Although he has not been able to develop convincing works in the Brazilian team, Dorival is certainly one of the best coaches in the country. In his last two clubs in clubs, he brought San Paolo to the unprecedented success of the Brazilian Cup in 2023. A year earlier, he gained the same title with Flamengo and Libertadores. Therefore, it is possible to say that the choice of the Board of Directors Corinthian was right.
Dorival’s first task will be to defend the Corinthians to stop leaving. There are 33 goals granted in 29 games of the season. On Sunday, the coach followed the 4-0 defeat in Flamengo, in a Maracanè cabin, and was able to have a better feeling of what must be correct. The defense duo Corinzio has undergone several changes in the year. Gustavo Henrique is the only one with the departure state, while André Ramalho recently won the vacant place of Felix Torres.
In addition to the embarrassing result, the defeat for Flamengo has opened the difficulty of the Corinthians who maintain a regularity in the presentations. There are only three rounds, still under the command of Ramón, the team has given a show in a 3-0 victory over Vasco.
It is necessary to say that the Cruz-Maltina team took the field a team that mixes the owners and reserves, but the Corinthian fan saw the club being a state champion with the best countryside and beat Palmeiras at the home of the rival. On the other hand, the Corinthians fell into Libertadores still in the preliminary phase, having difficulty competing with much lower investment opponents.
Almost always associated with a pragmatic game philosophy, Dorival can make “rice with beans” to be his good to the Corinthians. Hit the defense movements can be a big step towards the stability of the team. This is because the formation consecrated by Ramón Díaz, with three steering wheels and Rodrigo Garro in the frame, with Memphis and Yuri Alberto opposite, recalls the system used in Flamengo, when he managed to play Pedro and Gabigol together. In 41 games, that team scored incredible 77 goals.
In addition to the four lines, Dorival will have the mission of maintaining an important legacy of Ramón: preventing the club’s policy, boiling since last year, contaminates the locker room. For this, he must count on the help of the Fabinho Soldo Football Executive, considered a key piece to keep the cast shielded what happens to São Jorge Park.
“I hope to leave a legacy within a job that was already happening. The previous technical staff commanded by Ramón has done an excellent job and leaves us in a special moment. I hope to continue all this and get the best results for this great team,” said Dorival, upon his arrival in Corinthians.
The scarce sports performances would also be the Pala Lime in the management of President Augusto Melo. The agent had the accounts of his first year of failed management and could undergo a new impeachment process. The orientation council indicated an increase in R $ 829 million in the club’s liability, which accumulates a debt of R $ 2.5 BI.
Depay is doubtful for Dorival
Dorival does not yet know if he will be able to count on Memphis Depay in his debut for Corinthians. T -shirt 10 took a blow of Leo Ortiz in the game with Flamengo and went to the first half. If the Dutchman does not recover, Igor Coronado should win the vacant place and be moved to midfield.
Garro still recovers from a rooty tendinopathy on his right knee and does not have a date to return to the team. Therefore, Ángel Romero remains maintained as an appetizer. In defense, the trend is that André Ramalho is maintained instead of Felix Torres.
Novorizontino has a regular campaign in Serie B of the Brazilian championship and is one of the four teams unbeaten. The internal team of San Paolo is in the tenth position, with 9 points. There are two wins and three draws for the men of coach Umberto Louzer. The last defeat was in the quarterfinals of Paulistan, 1-0, in the elimination of San Paolo, in Morumbis.
