Defender Jermeson will debut with the Corinthians shirt this Sunday against Botafogo, in Engenhão, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. He will take the place of Bruno Méndez, suspended after taking the third yellow in the match against Goiás, this will be the seventh double for the black team of the season.
Throughout the year, the only certainty in the central region of the Corinthian defensive system was Gil. The veteran played 18 games with Danilo Avelar, 13 with Pedro Henrique, 9 with Marllon and 6 with Bruno Méndez. This Sunday, he finally goes to the field with Jemerson. Méndez has also taken to the field with Pedro Henrique and Avelar.
Hired in November, he should have played his first game with Gil against Grêmio on the 22nd of that month. However, two days before the ball rolled, he was diagnosed with covid-19. After Jemerson completed a two-week quarantine period, the technical committee decided to postpone his debut.
Since December 7, the defender has been training the physical side. With the suspension of Bruno Méndez, he had the approval of the trainers to go out on the field. Together with Gil, he formed the best double defense of the 2015 Brazilian Championship. In a fictional setting, of course. At the time, Jemerson was playing for Atlético-MG, while Gil was wearing the Corinthians tunic.
If before the fight it was to distance itself from the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians now dreams of winning a place in the next edition of the Copa Libertadores de América. Packed with a sequence of five unbeaten matches, with three wins and two draws, the team has a chance to score three important points against Botafogo, who are struggling to get out of the relegation zone.
