Corinthians’ lineup has not yet been defined, but Vanderlei Luxemburgo will make some changes to the team that will start the decisive game in the Libertadores
O Corinthians will have a decision ahead of America’s Liberators. This Tuesday, the 2nd, Timão will receive the Independiente del Valle at Neo Química Arena and will need the three points to leave the match in a slightly more pleasant situation. The ball will roll for both teams from 9 pm (Brasília time), and the coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo will promote changes to the lineup that was previously considered the starter.
That’s because the new Corinthians coach will have Fagner return. The full-back was not a starter against Palmeiras, but he is physically better and will remain an important part of the alvinegra team. In addition, Fausto Vera, who left the classic in the last round in pain, did not have a more serious problem and will also remain among the starting 11 to the relief of Vanderlei Luxemburgo.
The Corinthians coach should change the lineup of the last matches and Roni could lose his place to Maycon. The number 7 shirt is not going through his best moment at Parque São Jorge, but he has the trust of Luxemburgo and therefore has a chance of being used in the starting lineup. Another who should return to midfield is Giuliano. The midfielder was a substitute against Palmeiras, but will have another opportunity with Vanderlei.
The defense also has some doubts, but the tendency is for the coach to keep the defender duo with Gil and Murillo. Bruno Méndez has chances to start the match in the starting 11, but the young base has been pleasing in recent weeks. Matheus Bidu is another who disputes position with Fábio Santos and can start the confrontation against Independiente del Valle in the main team.
Therefore, for the decisive game this Tuesday, 2nd, the tendency is for Vanderlei Luxemburgo to enter the field with the following lineup: Cassius; Fagner, Gil, Murillo (Méndez) and Fábio Santos (Matheus Bidu); Maycon (Roni), Fausto Vera, Giuliano and Adson; Roger Guedes and Yuri Alberto.
