Corinthians Under-17s wrap up preparations for Paulistão clash | OneFootball

Corinthians U-17 returns to the field this Saturday (27) to begin the second half of the Paulista Championship in the category. Timãozinho faces Terceiro Milênio at 11 a.m. at CERET, looking for a win that could bring the team closer to the top of Group 12.

Head coach Guilherme Nascimento highlighted the importance of the state competition and emphasized that the team’s goal is to finish the group stage at the top, even with the schedule split between the Paulista and the Brazilian U-17 Championship.

“The Paulista Championship is difficult to compete in. Our goal is to finish first in the group, and we are dividing our efforts with the Brazilian Championship. Our plan is to compete in both tournaments in the best way possible, fielding our strongest lineup. And that is our mindset for the match against Terceiro Milênio,” said the coach.

With 13 points and one game in hand compared to its direct rivals, Corinthians currently sits in third place in the group. If it wins this weekend, the black-and-white team will move up one spot in the standings and remain firmly in the fight for first place.
