After another defeat by Corinthians in the Brasileirão, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo took the blame for Timão’s bad phase: “Collectively, things are missing”
The coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo took the blame for the bad phase of the Corinthians in the 2023 season. Timão was surpassed by Bragantino on the morning of this Sunday, the 2nd, and suffered the eighth setback under the command of the coach, who had a 33% success rate with the team. Two months into office, Luxa still has four draws and four wins.
“If you can’t see (it gets better) I can’t do anything. I see it differently. I’ll leave it up to you to analyze. Today it became clear that if you were to play poorly in the first half and then improve in the second half… Even Bragantino’s goal, where there was a messed up defense. We see an aspect of individual growth, but not collective. I have to say obvious things, otherwise they’ll call me crazy. Collectively, things are missing, so the criticism from the fans and you are fair. Because collective evolution is not taking place”said Luxemburgo at a press conference.
“We grew, but as a team we didn’t evolve, so the responsibility is mine, the criticism has to be on top of me. Regarding the fourth, there was a desperation to put only the kids, but I can see the evolution. Today I selected a 17-year-old boy as a midfielder, Gabriel, who came in and played. In my analysis, I see that we have to transform our team into a fair team, and the talent is available to the team”, added.
With this Sunday’s result, Timão parked at 12 points and could end the weekend in the relegation zone. The team is in 15th position, but Luxemburgo doesn’t want to talk about fighting the fall.
“There’s so much game ahead to say that… The year that Flamengo was champion, he started to play a lot in the second round and was winning and winning. The projection to be champion, not only in the Copa do Brasil. But with three or four wins you are fighting for the Libertadores. Today it’s complicated, but tomorrow you can’t tell. You can be sure that if you win three or four games, the score improves a lot.”completed.
Corinthians returns to the pitch next Wednesday, July 5th, to face América-MG, at Arena Independência, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.
