Corinthians ratings: who shone and who flopped in Chapecoense draw | OneFootball

The Corinthians only managed a goalless draw against Chapecoense on Thursday night, during the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship, at Arena Condá, in Chapecó (SC). Some players did not take advantage of the opportunity with the mixed team fielded by Dorival Júnior, such as Allan, Vitinho, and Pedro Milans. Others, however, were pleasant surprises, like Matheus Pereira and Yuri Alberto. Garro had a fair performance but was heavily marked by the great missed chance.

Allan was one of the disappointments of the night on the Corinthians side. The midfielder was technically below par and made many mistakes, staying far from his teammates for the approach play attempted by Corinthians. He also failed to complete some passes and did not perform well as a second midfielder, falling short in the defensive system and being inefficient in marking.

Vitinho also did not perform well. The forward received another opportunity as a starter in the absence of Memphis Depay but failed to capitalize. He practically missed everything he attempted and could not exploit one-on-one situations or continue individual plays. He had very little contact with the ball and, when he did, made wrong decisions.

Finally, Pedro Milans also did not stand out. The full-back did the basics defensively but was practically null in the attacking field. Completely different from Matheuzinho, who came on and immediately attempted crosses. A very discreet performance from the Uruguayan full-back.

Garro, on the other hand, had a fair game. The Argentine was responsible for the creation until Bidon's entry in the second half and found good deep passes, especially first-time ones. Timão created few opportunities, but many of them involved the number 8, who was attentive and displayed good game reading. However, his regular game was overshadowed by the clear goal chance missed in the second half.

Matheus Pereira, on the other hand, performed well, especially in the first half. The player made his first game after returning from a muscle injury and, despite missing some passes and launches, was the one who tried the most new plays and different passes in an attempt to make Corinthians more creative. He played as a first midfielder and had a good performance for someone returning from injury.

Yuri Alberto, finally, was one of the main surprises of the night. It was expected that the forward, who was returning from injury, would not complete the 90 minutes. He not only finished the game but also had a very fair performance. He managed to receive some balls in depth, helped Corinthians create chances, and, as always, ran a lot (as much as possible). He was the big news for the team last Thursday.

Standings Situation

With the result, Corinthians could not break the negative streak this season. Timão reached nine points and remained in ninth place in the Brasileirão, but reached the sixth consecutive game without knowing what it is to win, with two losses and four draws in this period.
