Corinthians continued preparations for the match against Vasco da Gama, valid for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. On the morning of this Friday (24), the black-and-white squad held, at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, its first tactical session focused on the clash taking place on Sunday.

The schedule began with a video session in the briefing room, where the coaching staff presented strategic guidance to the players. Next, the athletes went through physical activities in the gym and completed a warm-up with coordination and jumping exercises. On the field, the group took part in a drill featuring transitions in two-on-two duels.

In the final part of the activities, head coach Fernando Diniz led a tactical drill on a reduced-size field, with teams made up of ten against ten. The coach used the session to observe variations and test possible lineups for the match against the Rio de Janeiro side.

The last meeting between Corinthians and Vasco is still fresh in the memory of the black-and-white fans. On December 21, 2025, at the Maracanã, Timão won 2-1 and secured the Copa do Brasil title, with goals from Yuri Alberto and Memphis Depay.

Preparations will be wrapped up on the morning of this Saturday (25), once again at CT Joaquim Grava. The match against Vasco da Gama is scheduled for 4 p.m. (Brasília time) next Sunday (26), at Neo Química Arena.
