After time out, Tamires starts again and earns a run at Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians’ 1-0 win over Flamengo last Monday (3), in the 14th round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship, not only marked the Brabas’ return to the top of the table. The match also symbolized Tamires’ return to the starting lineup after a period of absence that sparked discussion among fans and the coaching staff.

The left-back spent more than 40 days away from in-person activities with Corinthians after being released by the club to take part in TV Globo’s Central da Copa program during the men’s World Cup. The decision raised questions, mainly because it coincided with the midseason break and an important stretch of matches for Emily Lima’s team.

When she returned to CT Dr. Joaquim Grava in July, Tamires began a reintegration process with the squad. Although she was already taking part in activities, the coaching staff acted cautiously before putting her back on the field.

After the schedule resumed on July 17, Corinthians played five matches before the clash against Flamengo. Tamires was left out of the squad lists for the two games against Ferroviária, in the Paulista Championship and the Copa do Brasil, as well as the win over Vitória in the Brasileirão.

The first appearance by the No. 37 came only in the derby against Palmeiras in the Paulista Championship. On that occasion, Tamires started on the bench and came on at the beginning of the second half, replacing Juliete, and stayed on the field for the entire final period.

Against Flamengo, meanwhile, Emily Lima restored the experienced full-back to the starting lineup. Tamires played the full 90 minutes at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro and took part in the 1-0 win, a result that moved Corinthians to 34 points and put the Brabas back on top of the Brazilian Women’s Championship.

During her absence, Juliete took over at left-back as the coaching staff’s main option and even started several matches in a row. In some games, Emily Lima also had to use players out of position there due to the lack of specific alternatives for the role.

The Brabas’ next match will be on Sunday (9), at 4 p.m. Brasília time, against Santos in the sixth round of the Paulista Women’s Championship. The match will be played at Estádio do Canindé.
