Corinthians Futsal react to historic win, target strong LNF finish | OneFootball

On the evening of Monday, the 15th, Corinthians returned to the court for another commitment in the National Futsal League (LNF). At the Wlamir Marques Gymnasium, for the 21st round of the competition, the Alvinegro showed no mercy to Cruzeiro, who had only won two games in the tournament, thrashing the team from Minas Gerais by a resounding 10 x 2. The goals were scored by Israel (three), Renatinho, Rick, Edimar, Igor Carioca, Lucas Martins, Andrey, and Luiz Brizzi.

After the match, the top scorer of the night spoke to the GOAT channel, which broadcast the rout on YouTube. He shared his satisfaction with the hat-trick, his first for Corinthians: “I had already scored a few, but not here. But first of all, I thank God, my family who has been supporting me all along. Second, it came in succession, but this is important, yes, individually, but what really matters is that we got three more points. Now we’re going to travel, we’ll play our game against Marreco that was postponed. We’ll get the three points there too.”

Israel also shared a bit about what it feels like to play for Corinthians and to have the top scorer Deives as a teammate. “It was my dream to play for Corinthians. And to be living what I’m living today, a childhood dream, every day I truly give thanks, especially to our squad. Our squad is very good, I was there with two goals, and Deives himself would come in training: ‘Hey, calm down,’ I was too eager to score, Deives helped me a lot day to day,” he concluded.

Andrey also spoke after the game, interviewed by Rádio Coringão. He celebrated the rout imposed by Timão: “We were coming off a not-so-victorious streak at home, thank God today was different, to keep the momentum in the championship. We’re coming strong, we hope to play a good game against Marreco, a good game against Umuarama and, God willing, everything will work out.”

The youngster also spoke about the need to rotate the squad. “Squad rotation depends on us, it’s up to us. Whether we open the scoring or not, we have to rotate the squad, I think we’re capable of that, the whole squad is very good, we have 14 players in the League who are able to play, and that’s it,” he explained.

Andrey also pointed out that Corinthians doesn’t have a set qualification target, aiming to score as many points as possible with an eye on the knockout stage: “We hope to qualify as best as possible. Of course, it’s hard to know exactly where we’ll qualify, but we’ll go strong and try to finish among the top. And in the knockout stage, we’ll go for the title.”

Corinthians keeps its focus on the LNF for its next commitment. In a match valid for the 13th round, which was postponed, Timão visits Marreco Futsal, in a game that takes place at 8 p.m. (Brasília time) at Ginásio Arrudão, in Francisco Beltrão-PR.
