Corinthians ramp up training in FIFA break, eye Copa do Brasil clash | OneFootball

Corinthians continues to take advantage of the full week of training during the FIFA break to adjust details before the return match of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. On the morning of this Thursday, 4, at the CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, the squad held the second training of the week, with total focus on the clash against Athletico-PR, scheduled for next Wednesday (10), at the Arena da Baixada.

The activity started with strength work in the gym. Then, the players went to the field and participated in a circuit with passing exchanges, duels with finishes in small goals and offensive transition exercises. The technical commission also led a game in a reduced field with numerical superiority and ended the training with attack constructions and finishes.

After this Thursday's activity, midfielder Maycon, who has been a regular starter since returning from injury, highlighted the importance of preparation before the decisive clash and stressed that the team still needs to improve.

"It's very important. We have many points to correct, to evolve in our team. We have a big challenge ahead in the Copa do Brasil and, then, the continuation of the Brasileiro. We know about the evolution of our team in the last games. We have to evolve to achieve the objectives we have", said the number 7.

The Alvinegro Paulista midfielder also valued the team's good defensive performance, as Corinthians has five consecutive victories without conceding goals in the knockout competition.

"It's a point that we always demand, which is not to concede goals. It's to maintain the focus that we have had. The defensive evolution starts from our forwards and midfielders so that our defense can sustain itself better. It's a very important point for us. We came out with an important victory, but the tie is open. We have to work in the best possible way", Maycon added.

Corinthians will train again on the morning of this Friday, 5, again at the CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, continuing the preparation for the decisive duel against Athletico-PR for the Copa do Brasil.
