Corinthians now turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship after qualifying for the CONMEBOL Libertadores quarterfinals. At 7:30 p.m. this Sunday (23), at Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba, Paraná, Timão faces Coritiba in the 24th round of the national competition. The match will be broadcast on the Premiere channel.

The Corinthians squad had two days of preparation for the round. The second and final training session took place on Saturday morning (22) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. The squad began activities with a tactical instruction video in the Flexform Briefing Room. After activation work in the gym and a warm-up involving passing drills and movement, the team carried out two tactical exercises led by head coach Fernando Diniz. Set-piece plays were also practiced.

Fernando Diniz will not be able to count on midfielder Rodrigo Garro for this match. The Argentine received his third yellow card in the previous round and will serve an automatic suspension.

Timão comes into this round in ninth place with 32 points, one more than its opponent from Paraná. Focused on helping Alvinegro climb the table and establish itself among the top positions, defensive midfielder Allan shared how the Corinthians team approaches this match after the midweek victory.

“Now it’s time to switch gears. The game there (in Paraná) is very important for us, especially to move up the standings. So we need to recover those who need recovering and go there to get the three points. That last CONMEBOL Libertadores match gave us confidence. We’re going into this game with our confidence very high. It’s a different competition, we need the result, and we know how important the match is,” Allan said.
