Youth duo celebrate first goals for Corinthians, praise Dorival | OneFootball

The Corinthians fielded their reserves but defeated Capivariano 3-0 on Thursday night at the Neo Química Arena, during the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista. Forwards Dieguinho and Kayke, who scored their first goals for the professional team, celebrated their achievements.

“It's a special moment for us. Diego and I had been talking during training that we were the only ones without goals in the professional team. We kept pushing ourselves, but everything happened tonight, it couldn't have been better,” Kayke celebrated in an interview with HBO Max.

“First, I want to thank God for everything He has done in my life. We managed to score on the same night. It couldn't have been better, at home, with this wonderful crowd. I'm sad about Kaio's situation, I hope it's nothing serious with him,” added Dieguinho.

The duo also praised Dorival Júnior. Kayke said the coach instills confidence in the young players from the academy, while Dieguinho stated that the manager “boosts the morale” of the youngsters.

“Since he [Dorival] arrived, he has been very careful with us. He gives us confidence, gave me more opportunities, and I managed to play some games as a starter. This confidence he gives us daily is very important for us to perform our best on the field,” said Kayke.

“Dorival gives us this space, boosts our morale, and lets us play calmly. This is very important for those coming up from the academy,” concluded Dieguinho.
