Maycon slams Corinthians’ lapses, looks ahead to Flamengo clash | OneFootball

This Sunday, in a match valid for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians visited Sport at Ilha do Retiro, was defeated 1-0, and had its unbeaten streak ended. After the final whistle, Maycon summed up Timão's campaign as “lapses in attention” and looked ahead to the match against Flamengo.

“Our team competed well. In the first half, we knew the initial pressure they would have. Then we controlled the game, had some opportunities. In a lapse of attention at the start of the second half, we conceded the goal. These small lapses in attention that our team has been having summarize the championship you mentioned (Corinthians' campaign),” he stated to Premiere.

With the result, the Alvinegro remained with 29 points, in 10th place on the table. Additionally, they lost their unbeaten streak, which had reached five games (four wins and one draw).

If they had won, they would have achieved the longest unbeaten run since coach Dorival Júnior's arrival.

“It was a game we came to win the three points. We tried to play, even with a very challenging pitch. We had some opportunities, but unfortunately, we couldn't achieve the result we worked hard for. Now we need to prepare again because at the weekend we have another very strong battle, and we have to come out with the victory,” he added.

Corinthians returns to the field next Sunday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), when they host Flamengo at the Neo Química Arena for the 25th round.
