Raniele reveals conversation with Garro before the goal: “He’s crazy”

O Corinthians visited the Palm treesat Arena Barueriin a match valid for the 9th round of the Paulistão. After losing by two goals, Yuri Alberto discounted and, when the lights went out, Rodrigo Garro scored a great goal to leave everything equal. After the game, midfielder Raniele revealed a conversation he had with the Argentine before the free kick.

At a tense moment in the match, Corinthians had only nine players on the field, none of whom was a professional goalkeeper. So, Garro combined a move with the steering wheel, but did something completely different. “He’s crazy, right? This kid is crazy. No wonder it’s his celebration. He said we were going to play the second stick. He ran for the ball and I ran for the second stick, then out of nowhere the ball went straight into the goal.”said Raniele.

Although the combined play did not go as expected, Corinthians’ number 14 believes that the Argentine made the best decision. “I didn’t expect it, but I’m glad he scored, it was a great goal. He has a lot of personality, he doesn’t hide himself. I’m happy that the goal came out and the way it was, I hope it’s the first of many”, he stated.

After Raniele’s revelation, the Argentine midfielder explained the reason for the “lie” with good humor. “If I said I was going to kick, he would say I was crazy. So I preferred to say that I would cross, but I ended up making that decision. I know that the team supports me and I have the confidence to make this decision”, said Rodrigo Garro.

Raniele did not score a goal like Garro, but he was also crucial to Corinthians’ draw, saving a ball on the line, at a time when he was acting as a defender. “I was left to throw the ball and make it hit us. I had that feeling and I hope I don’t have to repeat it. It was a feeling of a goal, it counts as a goal”, declared.
