The game will be like a kind of test for Mano, who has already revealed that, after facing Timão, he will define for which sectors the Tricolor needs reinforcement. Last Sunday, the team was defeated 1-0 at home by Atlético-GO.
Since taking charge of Bahia, Mano Menezes has had little time to implement his work philosophy and adjust the squad, so he thinks he needs these two games to better evaluate the group that he will lead in Brasileirão. After Corinthians, Tricolor will only return to the field in ten days, to face Atlético-PR.
Right now, Corinthians is a direct opponent of Bahia. Both teams have the same nine points and are struggling to get out of the relegation zone. After the defeat against Fluminense, the athletes from Timão were surrounded and threatened during the landing in São Paulo.
Still getting used to the group of players, Mano made changes to the pieces and the design. In a 4-1-4-1, he promoted the innings of Jadson and Clayson, who were on the bench with both Roger Machado and Claudio Prates.
