Brazil goalkeeping coach to scout Corinthians in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

The classic match between Corinthians and Santos, scheduled for next Sunday at Vila Belmiro for the Brazilian Championship, will receive special attention from the technical staff of the Brazilian National Team. Members of the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) team will be present at the stadium to closely follow the match.

Among the confirmed professionals is former goalkeeper Taffarel, world champion with Brazil in 1994 and currently the goalkeeping coach for the National Team. The main objective of the former athlete's presence is to observe Hugo Souza's performance during the Clássico Alvinegro.

In addition to Taffarel, other members of the staff will also be in Baixada Santista to watch the match. Assistants Mino Fulco, Franchesco Mauri, and Bruno Baquete complete the list of CBF professionals who will attend the game at the stadium.

However, this will not be the first time that representatives of the National Team have attended a Corinthians match directly from the stands this season. At the end of last month, coach Carlo Ancelotti and executive coordinator Rodrigo Caetano were at Mineirão to observe the match between Corinthians and Cruzeiro, also valid for the Brazilian Championship.

The presence of the CBF technical staff comes at an important moment in the National Team's calendar. The classic will be played one day before the March call-up, scheduled for the 16th, when the list of players for the friendlies against France and Croatia will be announced.

This call-up will be the last before the final list for the World Cup is released. Since Carlo Ancelotti took over as head coach of the Brazilian National Team, Hugo Souza has been included in every call-up made by the coach. So far, the Corinthians goalkeeper has started only once during this period. The match took place on October 14, when Brazil was defeated by Japan 3-2 in an international friendly.

Before facing Santos in the Brasileirão, Corinthians still have another commitment in the competition. Next Wednesday, the team faces Coritiba at Neo Química Arena, at 9:30 pm, in a match valid for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship.
