Corinthians women's coach eyes Paulista title, takes a dig at Vasco | OneFootball

The coach of the Corinthians women's team, Lucas Piccinato, mocked Vasco during a press conference on Friday morning at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center.

When asked about the Libertadores title, recently won by the Brabas, Piccinato already shifted focus to the next competition the team will compete in: the Paulista Championship. He, who has four state runner-up titles, aims for the trophy and jokes: “Otherwise, I'll become Vasco da Gama.”

“A unique feeling [for the Libertadores title], wonderful, but in football, things move quickly. We are already thinking about the Paulista, focused on the next game. That's the mentality. Very happy with what we've achieved, but we're knocking on the door of the Paulista Championship. I have four Paulista runner-ups. If I get another runner-up, I'll become Vasco da Gama (laughs). I'm joking. The idea is to go for this title,” he stated.

Doubt for the classic

The Corinthians women's team is preparing for the classic against São Paulo, scheduled for this Saturday, for the 11th round of the Paulistão. The press followed the final part of the Brabas' last training session ahead of the match.

Piccinato might have a headache for the Majestic. A standout of the team, forward Vic Albuquerque suffered a hard tackle from Thaís Regina and left the activity crying, struggling to walk. During the press conference, the coach said he still has no real sense of the severity of the collision.

Integration with the men's team

After the training session, Corinthians also promoted an integration between the men's and women's groups. The squads took a photo together and had a moment of relaxation.
