Fabinho calls draw a “very poor result”, looks for lessons at Corinthians | OneFootball

Football executive of Corinthians, Fabinho Soldado classified the defeat to Cruzeiro this Sunday, in the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship, as a "very bad result." Timão was dominated by the team from Minas Gerais and lost 3-0 at Mineirão, with goals from Kaio Jorge (2x) and Arroyo.

In an exclusive interview with the program Mesa Redonda, from TV Gazeta, Fabinho Soldado lamented the setback of Corinthians but stated that the squad, technical staff, and management need to learn lessons from the negative result in the match, which was a preview of the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil.

"A very bad result. We were talking in the locker room and recognized that Corinthians couldn't perform in the proposed scheme. Regarding this, the result speaks for itself. Football always gives us the opportunity to turn things around at some point. This defeat is very hard, painful, but what we have to do is face this journey. I've had several defeats like this, and we need to learn from what didn't go well. We need to correct all of this; we've already made the interventions that need to be done," highlighted Fabinho.

What to do, Fabinho?

The football executive also revealed that the conversation in the locker room after the match included demands from all parties involved in the club's daily routine. Fabinho Soldado believes that to finish the season on a high note, Corinthians needs to correct the mistakes and regain balance. He even mentioned the mental aspect.

"What to do? Feel this very difficult defeat for our fans and for us, but we still have the opportunity this year to seek results that put us in a better situation at the end of the year. We have three games in the Brazilian Championship and the two against Cruzeiro. Take as a lesson what happened here," said the executive.

"In a few days, we will be back to make a difference. Now, there really needs to be a change. We need to look at what needs to be corrected. This team has a memory of having played good games, and it needs to recover all of that so that in these three games we balance the tactical, technical, physical, and mental parts to achieve our biggest goal this year," concluded Fabinho.

Corinthians and Cruzeiro will face each other again in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. The first match, hosted by the team from Minas Gerais, is scheduled for December 10. The return match will have Timão as the host and is scheduled for the 14th of the same month.
