“I think Corinthians could have killed even in the first half, we had volume. We came back better in the second half. The 1 to 0 gives the rival chances, in any ball in the area, even more so in rain, heavy field. Our second goal came late, we could have controlled more with the second goal, since at the beginning of the second half we had opportunities. These adjustments will be made throughout the season, the year ends, but the season is different, we will go until February. I agree, I think we can get there faster, sometimes we need to … but also because we have an option, the one who comes to finish has two or three together, and that also shows evolution in the offensive part “, analyzed the coach at a press conference. granted after departure.

Players donating, making the most of it, believing in the past. Before we could have killed the game, many opportunities without being taken advantage of, but arriving and creating is also satisfactory, it makes us understand that we are evolving and we can improve ”, analyzed the coach.
Now, Corinthians return to São Paulo with plenty of time to train before returning to the field: Timão’s next appointment will only be on January 13, against Fluminense. With that, Mancini projected the next days of the Alvinegro cast.
“We will only play in 17 days, time off is necessary to recover from the streak, the third consecutive victory, six unbeaten matches, it is important.
