Against Fluminense, Corinthians ended a series of negative marks in the 2023 season, to the relief of Vanderlei Luxemburgo; see details
Against FluminenseO Corinthians could breathe under the command of Vanderlei Luxemburgo. The team hadn’t won for exactly a month and accumulated a series of negative marks in the 2023 season. However, this Sunday, the 28th, everything that was preventing Timão from winning ended up being overcome by the alvinegro squad and the three points in the Brasileirão came.
But the first negative mark that Corinthians closed under the command of Luxemburgo was the sequence of games without a win. The team came from eight matches without being able to overcome the opponents. To get an idea, there were five defeats and three draws and these bad results were left behind in this round of the Brasileirão. Furthermore, after 27 days in charge of Timão, Vanderlei achieved his first victory on his return to the club.
Apart from these two negative marks, Corinthians also ended another one with Roger Guedes’ goals. Timão hasn’t scored since the classic against São Paulo. On that occasion, the number 10 scored a penalty at the end of the first half. Since then, the alvinegra team had still not beaten rival goalkeepers. It was already four and a half matches without being able to celebrate a ball inside the opposing goal.
In addition, the result against Fluminense also took Corinthians out of the Brasileirão relegation zone. The team had not won since the first round of the Brasileirão, when they beat Cruzeiro, still under the command of Fernando Lázaro. As a result, the Alvinegro fans were able to leave this Sunday’s match, the 28th, with the hope that things could improve.

“The victory came, which was very important. I joked with Renato that we would win with his return. I still dyed my hair, played with my son. Just thank God for the moment, now we’re going to try to pick up the win. About my hair, I always use it, I always dye it, I’m bald because of it. We have a strong decision and it will be a very difficult game“, he said before sending a message to Corinthians fans.
I trust my team, I trust the fans, in the crowded Arena for us to score two goals and try to qualify. We were being charged for this, Flu plays beautiful football, now I think it will give the team morale“, finished.
