Dorival admits tough Brasileirão, vows competitive Corinthians | OneFootball

This Sunday, in a match valid for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians visited Sport at Ilha do Retiro, was defeated 1-0, and had its unbeaten run ended. After the match, coach Dorival Júnior acknowledged Timão's difficulties, but promised competitiveness in the tournament's continuation.

"The championship is difficult in all aspects, in all senses, both for those who play at home and away. We have recently achieved two, three results away, I see no problems. We will have difficult matches, but they will also be complicated for our opponents," he declared.

The next six rounds promise to be intense for Alvinegro, which faces two teams that are in the G4 (Flamengo and Mirassol) of the competition and four (Internacional, Santos, Atlético-MG and Vitória) that are fighting against relegation.

With the result, Corinthians remained with 29 points, in the 10th position of the table. Additionally, they lost their unbeaten run, which had reached five matches (four wins and a draw). If they had won, they would have achieved the longest streak of matches without being defeated since Dorival's arrival.

"These will not be easy games. Corinthians also wants results, is preparing to seek results, and I am sure it will not be different in this sequence, even though I understand it to be very difficult, just like today's game," he concluded.

Timão returns to the pitch next Sunday, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), when it hosts Flamengo, at Neo Química Arena, for the 25th round.
