Felipe Longo: Corinthians confident for Cruzeiro clash, "We know the way" | OneFootball

Goalkeeper Felipe Longo will once again be the starter for Corinthians in the match against Cruzeiro, scheduled for this Sunday, and sees the team confident after the victory in the derby against São Paulo. The match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Mineirão, for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship.

“The expectation is very good. We are coming off a great victory in the derby, the group is confident, we have been working very well. This FIFA date was very important for us to fix some things and organize others. We are very confident for tomorrow's match,” the player projected in an interview with Corinthians TV.

Felipe Longo has been replacing Hugo Souza in Corinthians' goal. The "Son of Terrão" has been the starter in the last three matches for Timão while the number 1 is recovering from a left thigh trauma and was not even listed for this weekend's match.

Corinthians is seeking its second consecutive victory in the Brasileirão. The São Paulo-based team is in tenth place, with 35 points, and still dreams of a spot in the Libertadores. Meanwhile, Raposa is in third place, with 65 points. Despite the difficulty of the clash, Felipe Longo indicated that the team already knows the path to triumph.

“We know that Cruzeiro is a very organized team, having a very good Brazilian Championship. It is very difficult to play there, but we have the ways, we know what needs to be done. With a lot of will, a lot of grit, we will have a great match tomorrow,” concluded the goalkeeper.
