Piccinato on squad rotation in Corinthians' Women's Libertadores rout | OneFootball

Even with an alternate team, Corinthians managed to assert themselves and make history by thrashing Always Ready-BOL 11 x 0 in the second round of the Women's Libertadores. Coach Lucas Piccinato spoke about the choices and how this can help the club in the continuation of the competition.

"The championship is very exhausting. And, when we analyzed the first match of Always Ready, we understood that, even though we didn't get a good result in the first match, it was an opponent that allowed us to give volume, to give rotation to everyone. Besides, as I have already said several times, we have a very strong group", started the coach.

"Players who didn't play the first match, who came in today, would probably be starters in almost all the teams in South America. So, I think the team managed to put on a good show", he added in an interview in the mixed zone after the thrashing.

The first four goals happened in the first half, building a rout still in the first half. After the break, seven goals were scored and the qualification for the knockout stage was set up after Corinthians only managed a draw in the first round.

"A good effort generated many goal chances and we managed to compete well to come out with the result we needed. Now, rest, because it's a championship that punishes a lot in this sense of being one game on top of the other, because in the next round we have a big game, which was the last final, against fatigue (wear and tear), the team that will bring a lot of difficulty, we need to win to come out in first place and enter the knockout stage well", he concluded.

The next Timão game takes place this Wednesday, 8, for the third and last round of the group stage of the Women's Libertadores. After drawing and winning the first two matches, the Brabas face Independiente Santa Fe-COL in search of qualifying in the first position. The ball rolls at 8pm (Brasília time), at Lencho Stadium.
