“Corinthians don’t have a starting team and a reserve team. We have a squad that works the same way every day, and all the players are capable of being starters. Today was a match decided by details. We created more chances, had more attacking power, but we lacked the finishing touch. São Paulo knew how to take advantage of the chances they had,” she said.

Wearing the No. 37 shirt, she stressed that the team needs to show a more intense attitude to get back to winning ways.

“We have to change our attitude, our mindset, and our ability to turn chances into goals. The Paulista is a very short competition, with only seven matches, and every dropped point weighs heavily. Corinthians need to show more, regardless of who is on the pitch,” she stated.

Tamires also pointed to anxiety as one of the factors that hurt the team’s finishing.

“The technical quality of our squad is enormous. What’s missing is a little more care and not letting anxiety take over. There is no other way but to keep working so that the ball goes in,” she added.

The experienced full-back also spoke about the development of the younger players in the squad and highlighted the importance of the opportunities they have been given.

“I really encourage the girls. When I started, it wasn’t easy either. The more minutes they get, the more comfortable they will be on the pitch. That’s how they will mature and grow at Corinthians,” she said.

When addressing the competition for her position with Juliete, Tamires emphasized the atmosphere of respect and collaboration between the two players.

“The competition is very healthy. We are both experienced and support each other all the time. As for the criticism, the fans have the right to give their opinion. Our role is to keep working, understand the playing model, and keep improving,” she pointed out.

The captain also praised the use of video review in the Campeonato Paulista Feminino.

“VAR is extremely important. Many times, matches are decided by key moments, and the technology helps make the competition more balanced for all teams,” she commented.

With a packed run of matches this season, Tamires reinforced the need for the entire squad to be ready.

“The squad is big and everyone needs to be hungry. Whoever wears this shirt has to step onto the pitch ready to honor Corinthians in any competition. There will be many matches, and everyone will have their importance,” she said.

Finally, the full-back highlighted the group’s desire to put Corinthians back at the top of the Campeonato Paulista.

“The Paulista is one of the toughest competitions in the country. It hurts to see other teams celebrating this title. We miss winning the state championship and we will do everything to bring this trophy back,” she concluded.

Corinthians will face São Paulo again next Monday (11), at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, once more at Fazendinha, for the 10th round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. The Brabas lead the competition with 22 points, while their rivals are in second place with 20.
