Corinthians take the field this Sunday (12) for an important test before returning to official competition. At Arnaldo Busato Municipal Stadium, at 4 p.m., in Cascavel, Paraná, Timão face Cascavel in a friendly as preparation for the second half of the season. The match will be broadcast on SporTV and Xsports.

The team led by head coach Fernando Diniz trained on Saturday morning (11) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. The day began with a tactical instruction video in the Flexform briefing room. After strength work in the gym and a warm-up on the pitch, the squad took part in a possession drill. After that, Fernando Diniz ran a ten-versus-ten tactical exercise. Set-piece plays were also worked on.

The Alvinegro will face Remo (Neo Química Arena), Bahia (Arena Fonte Nova), and Athletico (Neo Química Arena) on the 23rd, 26th, and 30th of this month in the Brazilian Championship. In August, Timão also have major challenges in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and the CONMEBOL Libertadores against Internacional and Rosario Central, respectively.

Ready to face Cascavel-PR, full-back Matheus Bidu highlighted the importance of this friendly before returning to competition.

“They were very intense days. I believe this game will be very important for the rest of the season. We know it’s a game to build match fitness. Regardless of it being a friendly, it will be important for our run of games. Competing is always good,” shared Matheus Bidu.
