Charles hails decisive goal and Corinthians’ fighting spirit | OneFootball

Charles played a decisive role in the triumph over Vitória this Saturday, with a 1-0 victory at Barradão, during the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. The midfielder came on in the second half and, in the 41st minute, scored the goal that secured the win for Corinthians. He celebrated the goal and highlighted the “Corinthians spirit” of fighting hard in pursuit of a positive result.

“Playing here is always tough. We knew it would be a hard-fought game, with a lot of battles and challenges. I’m happy to have come on today and scored. I’d been needing this goal for a while. Happy to score and help the club. An important victory for the rest of the championship, two wins in a row. Playing here is never easy. We fought hard today, it was the Corinthians spirit today. Happy for the goal and the victory,” he said in an interview with SporTV.

For the first time this season, Corinthians have achieved two consecutive victories in the Brasileirão. Timão beat Atlético-MG 1-0 in Itaquera in the last round and repeated the result this Saturday, this time against Vitória. Charles believes this streak could be an important step toward putting an end to the team’s inconsistency in the tournament.

“We’ve been talking a lot about this. About synergy on the field, about these battles, about being a team that can string together good results and maintain consistency. Since the last match, we’ve been talking a lot about this. I hope we can put together a winning streak to keep adding up points,” concluded the midfielder.

Now, Corinthians return to the field against Grêmio next Sunday (11/02), for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. The São Paulo side will be looking for their third consecutive win to, who knows, aim even higher in the national competition.

Corinthians’ position in the standings

With this result, Corinthians secured their second consecutive victory for the first time in the Brazilian Championship. Timão climbed to ninth place in the standings and reached 39 points, moving away from the relegation zone and, at least for now, finding themselves in the upper half of the table.
