Corinthians maestro Garro aims to end goal drought under Dorival | OneFootball

Despite being fundamental to the tactical scheme of Corinthians, Rodrigo Garros is experiencing a goal drought this season. The Argentine, who wears the number eight jersey for Timão, hasn't found the net under Dorival's management, having last scored in the Paulistão semifinal against Santos on March 9, at Neo Química Arena.

On that occasion, the midfielder started as a starter and scored a stunning goal in the final stage that sealed the 2-1 victory over Peixe and secured Timão's spot in the State Championship final. In the final, Corinthians defeated Palmeiras and became champions.

Since then, Rodrigo Garro has played in 17 matches without scoring a single goal. During this period, however, the midfielder provided three assists against: Barcelona de Guayaquil, Palmeiras, and Vasco.

In total, Garro's numbers this season consist of just one goal and four assists in 25 matches played.

In comparison, last season, the Argentine participated in 62 games, scoring 13 times and providing 16 assists, totaling 29 goal contributions.

The next commitment for Corinthians and Garro is the return leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals against Athletico-PR. The match kicks off next Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena. In the first leg, the Alvinegro Paulista, with a goal from Gui Negão, defeated Furacão at Ligga Arena, 1-0.
