Garro slams Arena da Baixada pitch, hails gritty Corinthians in victory | OneFootball

The Corinthians struggled but withstood the pressure and defeated Athletico-PR 1-0 this Thursday in Curitiba, during the second round of the Brazilian Championship. The goal scorer, midfielder Rodrigo Garro, who ended a five-month drought, praised the team's resilience and criticized the synthetic turf at the Arena da Baixada.

“We've been saying, the Brasileirão is no small thing. I'm happy. Unfortunately, we had to play on this turf, which is very difficult for an athlete's body. It's important that the CBF hears this; the turf is harmful to our bodies. I'm happy to help the team with this goal on our journey,” the player told Premiere.

“We are playing together. We had Yuri's absence, but we have a tough team, we've been through difficult things and we endured. This is the importance of a conquest like the Supercup, the Copa do Brasil. The most important thing is the group. Above all, the badge we represent, which is very big,” he concluded.
