Corinthians midfielder on Brasileirão loss, demands more efficiency | OneFootball

Corinthians returned to the pitch this Sunday (23) for the Brazilian Championship. Timão faced Coritiba at Couto Pereira Stadium in the 24th round and ended up losing 2-1, with Raniele scoring Corinthians’ goal. After the match, the goalscorer spoke about the defeat and pointed out that the schedule cannot be used as an excuse for the result.

“Fatigue cannot be an excuse. Even though we’re in the middle of a very long run of matches, I think Diniz has been managing that well in training, so that can’t be an excuse. It affects us because we need to fight for a higher position in the league. We have important decisive matches ahead, in the Libertadores, and being well placed in the Brazilian Championship is extremely important,” the defensive midfielder began in an interview with Premiere.

“The lesson is that we have to create a little more attacking volume and more shots, from crosses, like the goal, so that we can avoid results like this one, like today,” concluded the Corinthians midfielder, lamenting the team’s lack of efficiency.

Corinthians’ next match after facing Coritiba will be against Santos, in the Brazilian Championship. The black-and-white derby is scheduled for next Sunday (30) at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) and will be played at Neo Química Arena. The match will be valid for the 25th round of the competition.
