Raniele rues Corinthians defeat, shifts focus to the Supercopa do Brasil | OneFootball

Corinthians lost to Bahia after a comeback this Wednesday, at Vila Belmiro, 2-1, and started the Brazilian Championship with a defeat. Midfielder Raniele lamented the result and shifted the team's focus to the Supercopa do Brasil, which will be decided this Sunday against Flamengo.

“Of course we didn’t want this result, especially playing as the home team. Today our home was different, but with our fans, we always feel at home. We had chances to finish it, to make it 2 or 3-0, but we didn’t. That’s the Brazilian Championship, you play against high-level teams and if you don’t kill the game, you end up being punished. That’s what happened,” said the player in an interview with Premiere.

“Now it’s time to rest and switch focus to Sunday. We fought hard to reach the finals last year, and now we have the chance to be champions playing just one game. We have to focus on that so that on Sunday we can come out as winners,” he concluded.

Standing in the table

With this result, Corinthians suffers its second defeat of the season and starts the Brasileirão in 16th place on the table, with zero points.
