After a new setback by Corinthians in the Libertadores, Marcelinho Carioca cited frustration with Vanderlei Luxemburgo in charge of the team
Marcelinho Carioca rated the draw Corinthians as Argentine Juniorsfor Libertadores, and criticized the performance of the team commanded by coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo. The team from São Paulo was tied 0-0, for the fourth round of Group E.
Timão’s idol compared the team’s performance to the previous game, against Flamengo, in Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship. For Marcelinho, the alvinegro team did not show aggression, even with one more player in the final stretch of the match in Argentina.
Corinthians was under pressure at all times, it was different from Sunday at Maracanã, when they attacked, defended, positioned themselves, imposed themselves. Now, we see a neglected and apathetic team again”, said in a video posted on social media.
“With the loss of Paulinho [substituído no 1º tempo], the team is totally unbalanced. Roni comes in and doesn’t follow up. What most caught my attention is that Vanderlei [Luxemburgo] he was silent and not daring as he always was, a multi-champion coach”completed Marcelinho.
For Marcelinho, Luxa’s choices proved the coach’s mistakes. Vanderlei has been in charge of the São Paulo team for seven games and has yet to win. In the period, there were only three goals scored.
“Inadmissible what he did against Argentinos Jrs, a team without possession of the ball, in desperation. If you put youth, you would have the escape valve. Yuri Alberto was supposed to be removed, he didn’t. It’s easy to take Adson off every time. Every fan was disappointed with you, Vanderlei”followed.
“You are not being that old coach, daring to do everything. You asked for 10 games and look what Corinthians is showing. Corinthians gets complicated once again in Libertadores”, completed.
With the 0-0 tie, Timão reached four points and remained outside the classification zone for the round of 16 of the Libertadores, in third place. Now, the team will have the challenges against the Del Valle (outside) and Liverpool-URU (home) to try to qualify for the round of 16. Argentinos continued at the top of the group, with eight points added.
