Slegers, who closely watched the “Brabas” triumph in the semifinal, described Corinthians as a “passionate, strong, disciplined, and technically gifted” team. For the coach, facing the Libertadores champions requires meticulous preparation, regardless of the home advantage.
“It won't be an easy game. They did everything for the victory and showed impressive organization,” noted the Gunners' coach.
Mariona Caldentey echoed the respect for the Brazilian style. The forward emphasized that Corinthians is an “uncomfortable” opponent to face due to the combination of physical imposition and ball refinement.
“We know what to expect: a lot of individual talent and absolute commitment. It's a single-game final, and we need to be mentally ready to handle this pressure,” stated the Spanish player.
This Sunday's match at Arsenal Stadium brings together two continental powerhouses in pursuit of global dominance. While the English team bets on the brilliant form of their attack, Corinthians relies on their strength in finals.
