Corinthians boss Diniz on ex-Flamengo quality: “Better than people think” | OneFootball

What did Fernando Diniz say about Hugo Souza?

Corinthians introduced coach Fernando Diniz this Tuesday (07), after Dorival Júnior was dismissed. The manager also took the opportunity to praise goalkeeper Hugo Souza’s quality with his feet.

— In my opinion, Hugo is a player whose footwork is better than people think, said Fernando Diniz this Tuesday (07), during his introductory press conference at Corinthians’ training center.

Does Hugo Souza have a good track record with his feet?

Hugo Souza, however, does not have a good track record when playing out from the back with his feet. During his time at Flamengo, the goalkeeper tried to dribble past Brenner in a match against São Paulo and lost the ball. The striker then scored and turned the arqueiro against the red-and-black fans.

In addition, Hugo Souza also recently made a mistake in a match against Flamengo. The goalkeeper tried a pass through midfield, and Jorginho regained possession for the Rubro-Negro. Right after that, the Most Beloved found the net through Paquetá at Neo Química Arena, in the eighth round of the Brasileirão.

And Flamengo?

Currently, Flamengo have Rossi as their starting goalkeeper. The Argentine will play this Wednesday (08) against Cusco (PER) in Peru, in Flamengo’s Copa Libertadores opener. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
