Arthur Elias watches Corinthians semi-final in Itaquera on eve of Brazil squad announcement | OneFootball

Arthur Elias, multi-trophy former Corinthians boss and now Brazil women’s head coach, is at Neo Química Arena as the Brabas host Bahia in the second leg of the Brasileirão Feminino semi-final at 21:30 on Monday.

According to Meu Timao, his visit comes on the eve of a Brazil squad announcement on Tuesday, 22, at CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, with CBF TV set to broadcast the event.

While the staff analyse every match on video, attending in person helps assess communication and intent on the pitch and recognises key, decisive fixtures in the domestic calendar. The group also aim to use the coming FIFA window to get closer to players’ routines and to clubs’ health and performance departments.

On Saturday, performance analyst Cristian Lizana was at Brinco de Ouro in Campinas for São Paulo’s return leg against Flamengo. The São Paulo side won again to secure a place in the national final.

Brazil have two October friendlies against Argentina, on 10 at Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre and on 13 at Arena de Pernambuco in the Recife metropolitan area.

Elias led the Brabas in 327 matches from 2016 to 2023, winning 258 and lifting 16 trophies, including five Brasileirões and four Libertadores.

Corinthians need only a draw to reach the final after Jhonson scored the only goal of the first leg, a 1-0 win at Arena Fonte Nova.
