The Corinthians stumbled again in the Brazilian championship when passed by San Paolo 2-0, in the classic played in Morumbis, Saturday evening (19 July). The defeat in the 15th round interrupted the momentary stability of the team, which had been oscillating between good performances and irregular results. The team now park at 19 points, while the rival climbs on the table and tries to escape the relegation area.
After the final whistle, Captain Ángel Romero commented on the deconcentration of the team in the classic. “There was no concentration in the first half, we said that in the classics we have to take care of the details. We stopped focusing on this game, completely hanging, he took these rapid goals and in the classic it is difficult to turn,” said the attacker.
Speaking of the conversation in the locker room, Romero also revealed what was asked by the technical staff. “Him [Dorival Júnior] He spoke to become more connected to the game, we lost control of the game. […] We tried to tie the game, but unfortunately it is defeated, “added the player.
Departure
In the first half, the team led by Dorival Júnior even started more present in midfield, but was unable to support the domain. At 32 minutes, Luciano opened the score after André Silva’s game. Three minutes later, the same striker took advantage of the Cross of Wendell and expanded the advantage of San Paolo. Both goals were marked in sequence, taking advantage of the defense Corinthia, in particular on the right side of the defender.
In the return of the break, Dorival tried to react with the replacements: Leo Maná, Raniele and Gui Negão entered the vacant places of Felix Torres, José Martínez and Memphis Depay. However, the team staff has not changed significantly. Sao Paulo maintained control of the game and could also have expanded the score if it was more efficient in the finishes. Goalkeeper Rafael has still appeared with an important defense in the final section.
The match was marked by collective errors of the defensive sector Corinthian. Félix Torres’ performance was one of the most criticized points, in particular for bankruptcy in the second goal, not being able to intercept the air ball before Wendell’s Cross. Romero, in turn, lost Corinzi’s best possibilities in the game, when he faced Rafael, still with the zero score.
Currently in the tenth place, the Corinthians return to the field on Wednesday (23 July), when he faces Cruzeiro in the new Chemistry Arena, at 19:30 (now Brazilia). San Paolo, in turn, faces young people away from home on Thursday.
