Garro hails Corinthians after Libertadores draw, urges focus | OneFootball

Corinthians picked up another point in the CONMEBOL Libertadores group stage after drawing 1-1 with Independiente Santa Fe on the night of last Wednesday (6) at El Campín Stadium in Bogotá. With the result, Timão reached ten points in Group E and remained at the top of the group.

After the match, midfielder Rodrigo Garro highlighted the team’s current moment and praised the commitment shown by the black-and-white squad in recent weeks. In an interview with Paramount+, the No. 8 celebrated Corinthians’ collective improvement.

“I’m happy, very happy for the group. They are people who are dedicated. It’s an honor to work with every one of the players who are here, who are part of this Corinthians group”, said the Argentine.

Garro then stressed the importance of staying grounded for the rest of the season and reinforced the need for continued improvement from Fernando Diniz’s team.

“Now it’s about continuing to work. Keeping our feet on the ground, because I think that at times like this, more than ever, we have to set our egos aside and work with humility. I think the game was good for us. Now we have to listen to what the coach (Fernando Diniz) has to say and fix the things that didn’t go well today,” he added.

Since Fernando Diniz took charge, Rodrigo Garro has once again assumed a leading role in Corinthians’ attack. The midfielder played in eight of the team’s nine matches during that period and directly contributed with five assists.

Two of them came in the 2-0 win over Platense in the Libertadores. The Argentine also provided assists in victories over Santa Fe, Vasco da Gama and Peñarol. Now, Corinthians turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship. The team faces São Paulo next Sunday (10) at 6:30 p.m. at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the 15th round of the national competition.
