Before ‘final’ at Libertadores, Luxembourg warns Corinthians

Vanderlei Luxemburgo Arrived to Corinthians before a big ‘final’ in the liberators for the alvinegra team. After winning the first Liverpool-URU and lose to Argentine Jrs at home, Timão’s situation could get complicated in case of a stumbling block this Tuesday, the 2nd, at 9 pm (Brasília time), in Neo Quimica Arena. It is with this atmosphere of tension that the coach will debut in his second passage through the São Paulo team.

I will be at the bank. Can’t wait. I want to be suffering or being happy together with the players. A new stage in my professional life begins. I’m very happy, Corinthians is very big and any coach wants to work for Corinthians“, he stated.

Vanderlei Luxemburgo also took the opportunity to comment on Corinthians’ DNA. The team, since the fall of Fernando Lázaro, has been questioned by the fans about the lack of delivery on the field. The alvinegro coach made a point of warning that this is going to change and that the players need to have a “champion” mindset. In addition, he took the opportunity to call the crowd to support him during this time of crisis.

“Tell the fans about the pleasure of being in charge of Corinthians and the pleasure of being able to participate in this group that has the DNA of champions. What we’re going to do is they can get all of that out there. Corinthians is very big, it is always a potential candidate for something in the competition. I already told them that. The fan is our striker, who helps to put the ball inside. Playing in the Corinthians arena is very strong. The opponent has to know that he is playing at our house“, he explained.

Luxemburgo also took the opportunity to say what he expects from his players for the sequel to the 2023 season: “It’s fantastic (the CT), it gives every condition for the player to play at a high level. We will demand excellence from the players, without exception, understand what is happening at the moment and play with the intensity that has to be applied at that moment. What Corinthians fans want to see is the player giving himself up for victory. If it’s an apathetic, passive team, the fans won’t want“.

Vanderlei Luxemburgo also told how his arrival at Corinthians was!

It was a summons from Corinthians. It’s not a call to be technical. It is a great satisfaction for me to be back at the club that gave me so many opportunities in my life.“, recalled the coach in an interview with the club’s official channel.

“I’m happy to be back at the club that made me so famous, took me to the Brazilian national team. It was a projection that I made at that time of coming to Corinthians and being able to fight for a place in the Brazilian national team.“, he concluded. It is worth noting that Timão will enter the field against Independiente del Valle this Tuesday, 2nd, at 9 pm (Brasília time), for the third round of the Libertadores group stage.
