Corinthians ratings: player scores in defeat to Inter | OneFootball

Corinthians turned in yet another poor performance and lost 1-0 to Internacional on Sunday night at Neo Química Arena in the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship. Several players disappointed, such as Angileri, Breno Bidon, Lingard, Gustavo Henrique and Matheuzinho. Raniele, meanwhile, was the only one to come away with credit.

Angileri was nowhere near standing out. The Argentine was picked to start in the absence of the suspended Matheus Bidu, but he did not play well. Defensively, he was caught out by balls in behind a few times and struggled to mark Carbonero. Going forward, he was heavily involved by his teammates and spent plenty of time in the attacking half, but was let down by poor passes and crosses.

Bidon also failed to repeat the performances he had produced in other games. The No. 7 was stuck too much on the right side of the pitch and saw little of the ball. When involved, he made poor decisions, with inaccurate long balls and passes. Defensively, he helped Matheuzinho close down the right flank, and that was about it. It was not a good night for the Terrão graduate.

Lingard was another who had a poor game. The No. 77 got his first chance as a starter, but suffered from the lack of connection between midfield and attack and had very little involvement in Corinthians’ play, even though he made himself available a lot. He was substituted around the 25th minute of the second half, without making an impression.

Matheuzinho also did not play well. The right back was stifled by Internacional’s marking and could not carry the ball forward the way he usually does. He received a lot of passes but did not get to the byline on a single occasion and missed virtually every cross he attempted. Defensively, however, he did not make costly mistakes.

Lastly, Gustavo Henrique also had a poor game and fell short in his positioning. On Inter’s goal, the center back stepped out to press Carbonero but failed to win the ball, allowing the forward to turn and pass to a teammate. Right after that, he was slow to get back into position, Bernabei spotted the space in front of the box and scored. A bad night for the black-and-white defender.

On the other hand, Raniele was the only one to come away with any credit. The midfielder returned to the starting lineup after serving a suspension in the previous round and showed how important he is to the team. He helped in the build-up by dropping back as a third center back, made important tackles throughout the match and nearly scored with a header in one of the team’s few attacking moves. It was an average performance, but still better than that of the rest of his teammates.

Standings situation

The result was terrible for Corinthians, whose winless run stretched to nine matches, with four defeats and five draws in that span. Timão also slipped down the table and moved closer to the relegation zone. The black-and-white side is in 16th place with 10 points — two more than Chapecoense, who currently open the Z4.
