Kaio César celebrates his return, explains Corinthians’ attacking moves | OneFootball

Returning from injury after more than a month away from the pitch, Corinthians forward Kaio César spoke at a press conference following the 1-1 draw against Santos, where the player delivered yet another assist wearing the black and white jersey.

First, Kaio made a point to celebrate his return to Corinthians, highlighting that after an intense first half, he ended up feeling tired in his first game after a long time away: “I am very happy to be back, to have helped with the assist. To have been able to help in some way. I got a bit tired, it was more than a month stopped. I got back to training two weeks ago, and it’s tough because, after a long time away, you regain your rhythm little by little. And today, to already play a game like this, a derby, in such heat. I got a bit tired, but I’m very happy to be back and to have helped Corinthians.”

Kaio César also spoke about providing the assist for Memphis Depay to score the black and white goal in the match, praising his attacking teammate’s technical quality: “So, once again I’m very happy to have given the assist. When the counterattack started, I saw Matheuzinho, he controlled the ball forward. I already attacked the space there. And as I attacked the space, I cut inside and I wasn’t really looking up. I had my head down, but I saw the movement Memphis made, behind the defenders and the fullback. And I was lucky to get the pass to him and he did even better by scoring the goal. Playing with Memphis is great because we gain a lot of experience with him, so it’s an honor to play with him.”

The number 37 finished the interview by explaining how Corinthians’ attack worked against Santos, highlighting the positioning of midfielder André and the rotation of positions: “So, André is not a winger, but he’s playing that role there. We try not to stay too static. We try to combine a lot, move well so we don’t have a fixed position. Many times I would come through the middle, Memphis on the wing. And it also serves a bit to make it harder for their defense.”
