Midfielder Raniele is experiencing a special moment on the eve of the classic match between Santos and Corinthians, which takes place this Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will mark the 100th game of the player wearing the Timão jersey, an achievement the midfielder describes as “a great personal accomplishment.”

“The three points are worth the same as any other game, but when it comes to a Corinthians and Santos match, the classic is extremely important for us. Both in terms of championship points and in terms of energy and motivation for us moving forward. If we win, it will be very important points. We are fighting for that,” said Raniele, in an interview with Corinthians TV.

A starter under the command of Dorival Júnior, the midfielder has played 99 matches, scored one goal, and provided two assists for the Alvinegro. Reaching the milestone of 100 games, especially in a classic, has a special flavor.

“Regarding the hundred games, I am very happy with the milestone. Not even when I arrived here, with a series of games, did I imagine reaching this number. I will be honored with this milestone, and it will be a great achievement for my career. I am very happy about it,” he celebrated.

On the field, Corinthians comes into the match boosted by a 3-0 victory over Mirassol, a result that ended a three-game winless streak and put the team back in 12th place, with 33 points.

On the other side, Santos is trying to recover after a 3-0 loss to Ceará, away from home. The Baixada team has only one victory in the last eight rounds and is in 16th place, with 28 points, three above the relegation zone.
