Vanderlei Luxemburgo, even with the third consecutive defeat of the season, left “happy” with Corinthians’ posture in the Copa do Brasil
O Corinthians lost once again in the season. Vanderlei Luxemburgo saw his team overcome by America-MG at Brazil’s Cup and, even so, he left Belo Horizonte satisfied with what the alvinegro squad presented last Wednesday night, the 5th. in the tournament, which would be the third in this edition of the championship.
What made Luxembourg happy after Corinthians’ third defeat of the season, his ninth in the 17 games he has led the team so far, was the volume of play. According to the coach, his players had not yet played football with the intensity they showed in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. That’s why he was “happy” in Belo Horizonte.
“The growth is existing, I don’t remember that passage of seeing a volume of game and so much intensity, to make the goalkeeper work. We lost, but I’m happy with the team’s attitude. We played the América team backwards, we opened up and the play flowed. We have been training there. We are evolving, their goalkeeper worked a lot, he is there for that“, he said. Vanderlei Luxemburgo also completed his opinion on the match and warned that he believes in Corinthians’ comeback.
“Due to the volume, it has the possibility of reversing, it’s the Cup. We had volume, intensity, if you believe it, we have a chance to pass. It’s 180 minutes game. It’s taking another 90 forward. It was not to be defeated as it was against Atlético-MG (in the round of 16). Today was a bad result, but it’s the Cup, it’s different from the Brazilian Championship“, finished.
Corinthians will now have about nine days to prepare for the return match of the Copa do Brasil, but they will not be quiet days for Luxembourg. That’s because Timão has an important match for the Brasileirão this Saturday, the 8th, against América-MG and, on Tuesday, the 11th, they will face Universitário for the playoffs of the Sul-Americana.
