In recent weeks, it is worth remembering, Marcelo Paz, together with football manager Júlio César and members of Corinthians’ coaching staff, including Fernando Diniz, were in a box at Estádio Alfredo Schürig watching the 2-2 draw against Flamengo in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship.

André Luiz came to support the Sons of Terrão from the Under-17 team after taking part in first-team training in the morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. As for this afternoon’s Derby, the rival was superior in the first half, causing difficulties for Timão in defense and preventing Alvinegro’s attacking momentum. In the second half, after a few changes, Guilherme Nascimento’s side imposed themselves against the team from Barra Funda and won 3-1.

After beating Palmeiras at home in the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, Timão will remain focused on the national tournament. That is because next Wednesday (15), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), Alvinegro will visit Vasco da Gama at Estádio Nivaldo Pereira (RJ) for the eighth round of the competition.
