Tamires highlights progress as Corinthians host Santos in Brasileirão Feminino | OneFootball

Corinthians host Santos at 16:00 on Sunday at Estádio do Canindé in the 15th round of the Brasileirão Feminino.

They have rebounded from a Copa do Brasil last-16 exit to Ferroviária and a Paulistão defeat to Palmeiras. Last time out they beat Flamengo 1-0 at the Estádio Luso-Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro, playing much of the second half with 10 after Dayana Rodríguez was sent off.

“It has been a week of training, a short one but very productive. We worked on the things we need to improve. We are clicking again and training with great focus and intensity. We know the league is very competitive, so keeping hold of top spot will be very important for us.” She told Corinthians TV.

“My expectation for this match with Santos is the best possible. The important thing is that we are very strong physically, tactically and mentally. It will be a difficult match, decided in the details, and our collective has to be very strong for us to come away with another victory.”

Already assured of a quarter-final place, Corinthians can confirm a top-four finish with a win or draw against Santos. That would secure home advantage in the first knockout round and keep them top on 34 points.

Tamires has had a stop-start season, alternating the left-back role with Juliete. The Flamengo match was her first start in more than two months, after the World Cup pause, permission to work as a pundit on TV Globo’s Central da Copa and a suspension for yellow cards.
