Corinthians coach at Copinha sees Piccinato as an inspiration | OneFootball

Corinthians began their journey in the Women’s Copinha with a 4-2 victory over Criciúma this Thursday at Parque CERET. After the match, coach Bia Vaz highlighted the importance of integration between the youth categories and the main team, stating that she is inspired by the work of Lucas Piccinato, coach of the professional squad.

“Lucas is a very dear friend, someone I look up to, someone with whom I exchange a lot of ideas. He understands, listens, gives suggestions, participates. The more we can strengthen this connection, the better for the club and for all the work being done. This way, these athletes will be able to soar higher and higher and, who knows, one day play for the main team with him, who always keeps an eye on the youth, not only at Corinthians but everywhere he’s been,” she said.

This season, the Corinthians women’s main team maintained its dominance on the national and continental stage, winning the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores, in addition to finishing as runners-up in the Supercopa do Brasil against São Paulo.

Next Match

The next challenge for the Brabinhas in the Copinha will be against Flamengo, on Sunday at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), once again at Parque CERET. The match brings back recent memories: Rubro-Negro eliminated Corinthians’ U-20 team in the semifinals of the Brazilian Championship for the category. For Bia Vaz, this fixture is decisive for their journey in the Copinha.

“I think every match is fundamental because we can’t afford to slip up. We faced Flamengo this season and we know that each game has its own difficulties. We understand that this next match is also essential,” declared the coach.
