Garro rues Corinthians loss, calls for soul-searching after Santos derby | OneFootball

During the afternoon of this Sunday (30), Corinthians hosted Santos at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the 25th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship and was defeated 1-0. With the result, the Corinthians side suffered its third consecutive defeat in the national competition and remained on 32 points.

Moments after the final whistle, still on the pitch, midfielder Rodrigo Garro gave an interview to Premiere and lamented the result in front of the black-and-white fans. The Argentine acknowledged the difficulties Corinthians have faced in the Brasileirão, called for self-criticism from the squad, and said the moment requires less talk and more work.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t give the fans the win. I’m upset, sad, and the group feels the same way. We can’t impose ourselves in the Brasileirão the same way we do in the Libertadores, but there’s no point in making excuses. We have to be self-critical and keep working. It’s a very big club; we have to talk less and work a little more. We couldn’t score, we couldn’t get the crosses right, the balls in the final third. Unfortunately, we ended up losing, but we have to be self-critical, work, and nothing more.”

Now, after hosting Santos in Itaquera, Corinthians will once again have a full week of training, but will remain focused on the Brazilian Championship. That is because next Sunday (6), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Timão will host Chapecoense, also at Neo Química Arena, for the 26th round of the national competition.
