O Corinthians was deleted from PaulistanIt is Roger Guedes opened the game on the new error of Fagner in penalty kicks. The side missed another penalty in alternating turns and became the target of criticism from the fans. The alvinegro squad, after the ball stopped rolling in the match against Ituanoused the mixed zone to defend the winger, and the number 10 was one of them.

Questioned about Fagner’s mistake, Roger Guedes made it clear that the defender had extreme personality to charge. The attacker revealed that the lateral took responsibility for Pedrinho not to go for the penalty kick. The veteran’s initiative was to shield his teammate, as the young man was only completing his second game as a professional.

“It’s part of it, he’s an experienced guy, unfortunately he’s already missed some penalties here. But he was the man for that… in the sense that we wanted to shield Pedrinho, who is young, we wanted to leave him last, maybe the fans didn’t see that. Imagine if Pedrinho makes a mistake, maybe the pressure wasn’t the same as what’s on Fagner. It’s a kid, what if he breaks down?“, said Roger Guedes about Fagner’s charge.

In addition to the Corinthians number 10, Fagner also received support from Cássio. After the game against Ituano, the goalkeeper came out in defense of the player and also mentioned Pedrinho’s example as one of the reasons that made the lateral miss the penalty. According to the Corinthians archer, the right-back assumed a leader role and avoided something worse.

“Fagner has everyone’s total trust. If you look at it, he beat a 17-year-old boy. I’ve seen a lot of players criticized for letting boys take penalties, and he was very manly. As much as he missed the last penalty he took, he hit today and didn’t put the boy in a pressure situation. Of course, Pedrinho wouldn’t have a problem hitting, but he (Fagner) behaved like a leader”, finished.
