Men's football: Corinthians wrap up at CT for Atlético-MG clash | OneFootball

On the morning of this Saturday (23), at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, Corinthians held their final training session in preparation for another important Brasileirão clash. On Sunday (24), at 6:30 p.m., at Neo Química Arena, Timão will host Atlético-MG in a match valid for the 17th round of the national competition. The game will be broadcast on Record TV and Premiere, as well as Cazé TV on YouTube.

The players began the day in the Flexform Briefing Room, where head coach Fernando Diniz showed videos and shared information about this weekend’s opponent.

After a physical activation session in the gym, the squad warmed up on Field 4 and then Diniz led tactical drills and attacking and defensive set-piece training with an eye on the match.

“With the support of our fans, we’re going after this win. It’s a very difficult, direct matchup, and everything is very tight around there. We hope to play a great game and earn the three points,” center-back Gustavo Henrique said in an interview with Corinthians TV. Watch here:

Fellow center-back Gabriel Paulista, who served a suspension in the last Brasileirão match, is available to the coaching staff for this Sunday.

Corinthians are in 17th place with 18 points. Atlético have 21 and sit 10th in the table.

In the last meeting between the teams, Coringão came out on top: in the second half of last year’s Brasileirão, also at Neo Química Arena, Timão beat the Minas Gerais side 1-0, with a goal from Maycon. Watch the behind-the-scenes of that win again:
