Coelho sees the dominance of Corinthians after the rival’s goal and is not afraid of leaving: “I’m working well” | corinthians

Santos opened the scoring with just 11 minutes, on a goal from Madson. Timão managed to tie in the final minutes of the first stage, with Danilo Avelar.

– In the first ten minutes, until we took the goal, we were really bad in the game. After taking the goal, we take control of the game. We changed five minutes later to a 4-3-3, I brought Mantuan to play as a midfielder with Roni and Gabriel between the lines. I put Luan on the left, Léo Natel on the right and center Jô. Santos couldn’t play anymore, he couldn’t play as he was at 4-4-2. What I told the players is that we have to get into the games better so that we are not suffering for 10 or 15 minutes. After Santos’s goal, we took over the game.

– The score is not fair for what we present, we should have won today, this is my way of seeing the game. With much more volume, with much more aggressiveness. I don’t care, Santos was there, a difficult classic and we played better than Santos.

During the press conference, the technician regretted several times that the team entered so careless. He agreed that his team has been playing better in the seconds than in the first days.

– We have to make things work better, which is to score goals, connect more to avoid scares and play a better game at the beginning.

– They (the players) have an understanding of work, so much so that they improve in the second half (…) It’s getting the ball in. Volume of play and opportunities we had. Confidence, it seemed that we had not scored, we went to Santos. The goal came and we continued playing. It doesn’t matter that so and so did not come, it was Santos, a great team. A classic and we gave it volume, we kicked at goal, we were aggressive. That’s what we have to keep doing – he said.

Timão left the field with 65% possession and 12 submissions, against only six for Santos. There were 501 completions against 268 by Peixe. The coach did not agree with an analysis carried out by one of the journalists who pointed out a negative performance in the classic.

– He saw another game, he didn’t see the game we saw. It can only. Hasn’t it evolved? I do not understand. What we did today, the volume of play we put in. The first 15 minutes were bad and then we managed, it evolved. Sides inside, freeing the ends to receive the ball more comfortably, the defense is not suffering as much. I do not agree with the analysis.

The result, however, was a third consecutive draw. In six games, Coelho’s team beat only Bahia. Asked about his future and if he is concerned about the arrival of a new technician, he denied:

– I work, they (the journalists) are the ones who bother with the coach, not me. I’m working well, the guys are working well, let’s do it – he guaranteed.

Corinthians reaches 15 points in the table and remains close to the relegation zone. In the next round, visit Ceará, on Sunday, in Castelão.
