Deives: Tough week, celebrates qualification, urges fans' support | OneFootball

On an emotional night, Corinthians defeated Magnus in Sorocaba in overtime and secured a spot in the semifinals of the National Futsal League (LNF). One of the highlights was Deives, the team captain and number 10, who was involved in the decisive goal, even during a turbulent week behind the scenes at Parque São Jorge.

“This was a week where I practically didn’t sleep, man. Because, regardless of whether I’m finishing my cycle, I want Corinthians futsal to get better and better, whether I’m on the court or not. I root for the good of the club. And I know, I see it every day, in these 10 years, how much the people who work here respect the club, dedicate themselves to this club,” Deives began in the mixed zone after the qualification.

“People who play injured, people who give their all, always respecting the Corinthians jersey. So, it wasn’t easy, man, it wasn’t easy. But, thank God, we managed to shield our group. And today, our main goal was achieved, which is our qualification. To be among the top four in Brazil”, he added.

The futsal team started living in uncertainty after president Osmar Stabile mentioned in a CORI meeting the possibility of ending the club’s professional futsal activities, keeping only the youth categories. Since the team is in a decisive phase of the season, the news was not well received.

Despite this, the team managed to perform well on the court, even after losing in regular time, which took the match to overtime. Corinthians opened the scoring, conceded the equalizer, but managed to take the lead again at the end and hold the result that secured their spot in the semifinals.

“Now it’s time to focus on Campo Mourão, think about Thursday in the Paulista and Campo Mourão. I also want to take this opportunity to sincerely ask our fans to pack Parque São Jorge in this final stretch, our fans play a huge role in the team’s performance, so we ask Corinthians fans, in our second game against Campo Mourão, to fill our home and support us, help us so we can get this spot in the final”, the captain requested.

Before starting the LNF semifinal, Corinthians will have to face Ferroviária Pinda in the semifinal of the Paulista Championship. The first match takes place this Thursday (13th), at the opponent’s venue. The first leg of the LNF is already on Saturday, at Arena UTFPR, at 4pm (Brasília time).
