Corinthians went into halftime losing 1-0 to Fortaleza, in the match valid for the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. The duel, taking place at Arena Castelão, in Fortaleza, kicked off at 7 p.m. (Brasília time). Fortaleza’s partial victory goal was scored by Pochettino. After the end of the first half, Vitinho assessed the first half.
“Ah, first of all, I have to take responsibility for the mistake there, I tried to force the ball through the middle and ended up doing exactly what we had proposed not to do, but I thought it would be a promising play and I ended up making a mistake,” said the forward in an interview with SporTV.

Despite being at a disadvantage, Vitinho highlighted that the team managed to create opportunities throughout the first half. “But we regrouped, tried, went for the individual play. We received information that it was a possibility and that’s what we’re trying to do”, he added.
The forward also commented on the focus for the team’s return in the second half. “Now it’s time to listen to what Dorival will say so we can adjust and try to come back and score in the second half”, he said before leaving the pitch.
After the match against Fortaleza in the Brasileirão, Corinthians will remain focused on the national competition. Next Sunday (7th), at 4 p.m., Timão will host Juventude at Neo Química Arena, for the 38th and final round of the Brasileirão.
