Corinthians hold tactical session ahead of Libertadores opener | OneFootball

On Wednesday, the Corinthians squad returned to CT Dr. Joaquim Grava to wrap up preparations for the clash against Platense-ARG in the opening round of the Copa Libertadores. The two teams take the field this Thursday at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Ciudad de Vicente López, in Buenos Aires.

How did training go?

First, the coaching staff showed the players a video with instructions for the match. Then, the players did physical activation work in the gym and went out onto the pitch for the warm-up.

Next, Fernando Diniz led a tactical session focused on Platense. The match marks the coach’s debut in charge of Corinthians.

Now, the Corinthians delegation is preparing to travel to Argentina on Wednesday afternoon. The team has four absences: left-back Hugo and forwards Memphis Depay, Gui Negão and Kaio César.

Thus, a likely Corinthians lineup is: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, André Luiz, André Carrillo (Allan) and Breno Bidon; Vitinho and Yuri Alberto.

The black-and-white side takes the field under pressure after a run of nine matches without a win. In recent days, players were confronted by organized supporters outside the training center.
