Tiago Nunes is walking a tightrope at Corinthians and I’ll tell you why



[ad_1]

Speech by President Andrés Sánchez in an interview with the portal GloboEsporte.com Last Tuesday when asked about the permanence or not of coach Tiago Nunes, he had a trap:

He began with: “I am not going to take Tiago at this moment because he is not to blame … he is not the only one to blame …”.

But few paid attention to the end of the president’s speech: “when he has a problem with the cast, when he loses the group, then I shoot. As long as he has the group respecting him and he respecting the group, he continues to be the Corinthians coach ”.

Well, for those who had doubts, this Thursday’s game against Palmeiras showed that the coach does not have total control over the group of players.

Of course, there are dissatisfied people on all football teams. Generally those who play are happy and those who do not play get angry. Normal.

But depending on the way the coach takes things, it can get worse in such a way that it becomes unsustainable.

I’m going to start with Danilo Avelar, who was sent off as a child at the end of the game.

I was struck by a response from Tiago Nunes after the game against Botafogo: “Nothing better than time to understand which players are in a position to make this change we want and how much Corinthians will have to invest in the future market to bring players with this profile “.

This statement came after a clear failure by Danilo Avelar in Botafogo’s second goal.

Let’s go to Gabriel and Camacho.

Gabriel was “cold” after the return of football. Corinthians desperately needed results to qualify for the final stage of the Paulista Championship. He was almost eliminated and still had a chance of relegation.

Not only did he qualify, he was almost a champion. The midfielder? Gabriel. Here comes the Brazilian and the owner becomes Camacho.

The same goes for Mateus Vital. Holder in the campaign of the final section of Paulista, he lost his position to Gustavo Mosquito. And then to Otero.

Sidcley and Piton. One hour plays one, another hour plays another, without further explanation.

In this current Corinthians squad there are four players with leadership skills: Cássio, Fagner, Gil and Jô.

Gil has been technically very bad since the beginning of the year. It may be the worst year of your career.

Fagner has not played well in some games, leaving aside what he did this Thursday, which deserves no comment.

Cássio continues to perform miracles in goal, but if we notice his expressions during matches, he seems impatient with the team and its mistakes.

And Jô is more nervous than ever. Spend the entire game trying to dig penalties where there are none.

I cite practical examples of not talking about the traditional “hit the coach for the results …”.

I have nothing against coach Tiago Nunes, I should have spoken with him only three or four times, I cannot say that I know him well enough to appreciate his personality.

But I know you don’t like being questioned. People who work within the club often mention the difficulty of upsetting the boss.

Was Andres’s message just a preparation for what’s next? After the match against Palmeiras, I did not speak to the president, but speaking to other people within the club, the general perception is that the manager cannot bear another defeat.

If he loses to Fluminense on Sunday, Tiago could lose the position he assumed in December 2019.

Not because of his tactical predilections, but because of his clumsiness in dealing with the team’s stars.

With all the respect in the world, Corinthians is not Athlético Paranaense. You have to be very careful when dealing with players with the many resumes that are in Timão. Earn their respect.

Finally, another clear example: the provocation of Jadson. After the match, the former Corinthians player posted a photo of the Corinthians coach and #GuardiolaBrasileiro on a social network.

A clear provocation by the fact that he was dismissed by the coach in early 2020.

For those of you who don’t know, Jadson was one of the most beloved players in the group. He was the type of jokes, nicknames, games. Even when he wasn’t playing, he was important to the players. Just as Ralf was respected by all. Doesn’t Jadson’s anger resonate within the current locker room?

Before you ask me: I think Coelho.
