Angileri: Tough game v Juventude, Corinthians must stay focused | OneFootball

The Corinthians wraps up its campaign in the Brazilian Championship this Sunday, when they face Juventude at 4 PM (Brasília time) at the Neo Química Arena, for the 38th round. Despite the opponent already being relegated, left-back Angileri anticipates a tough game for Timão.

Possibly starting on the left wing in place of Matheus Bidu, Angileri urged Corinthians to stay focused, especially since it's a home game. The Alvinegro is in tenth place with 46 points and aims to finish the competition in the best position possible.

“Playing as hosts, we know how to play well. We need to be very focused and highly motivated for the match. The goal is to finish in the best position possible, and we have the chance to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. I believe it will be a very difficult game and, as I said earlier, we need to stay calm and do things well on the field,” projected Angileri in an interview with Corinthians TV.

Corinthians is not in a good moment and needs to respond to the Faithful Fans before the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. Therefore, the game against Juventude is an opportunity to return to winning after three rounds.

Timão is expected to field a mixed or entirely reserve team for the match against Juventude. Coach Dorival Júnior has already made it clear, after the game against Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão, that he wants the entire squad in peak physical condition for the Copa do Brasil clashes.

The first leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final takes place this Wednesday at Mineirão, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time). The second and decisive match is scheduled for this Sunday at 6 PM at the Neo Química Arena.
