Vanderlei Luxemburgo premiered at Corinthians last Tuesday night, the 2nd, but saw his team defeated by Independiente del Valle in Libertadores. Timão had opportunities, created chances, but didn’t know how to take advantage of them and lost to the Ecuadorians by 2-1 in Neo Quimica Arena. After the game, the new coach of the alvinegra team promised changes and responded to the fans’ boos.
According to Luxemburgo, at a press conference, Corinthians will make changes over the next few days. However, the coach made a point of not exposing what they would be and took the opportunity to preserve his players from possible public attacks. According to the alvinegro commander, everything will be done in the best way and with the players that are at his disposal.
“Man, something has to happen. If not, I wouldn’t be here. I’m going to discuss this internally. What I’m going to do, it’s going to happen. You’ll see, you’ll see what happens. I won’t go into detail. I was hired to do something within the squad we have. There is no way to change the squad. We will work on it, seeking growth. We will work with the squad, seeking to improve overall“, he stated.

The public that was present at the Neo Química Arena did not hide their dissatisfaction with the negative result, and the new coach gave reason for the protests.
“If we left applauded, there was something wrong, for the moment. It’s not new from the experience in football, leaving here booed, complaints come, demands come, we have to close ourselves and work, knowing that in the next game we can change. Football allows that. we have to be calm. Billing will come. The greatness of Corinthians. Corinthians is something that no coach who wants to be working can reject. It’s not a challenge, it’s a great chance to do new great work“, he completed.
