[ad_1]

Corinthians had a great first half against Atlético-MG on the 14th, but lost strength in the second stage, took the curve and lost 2-1. A week later, with two expulsions, he drew 0-0 with Grêmio, not winning because of a miraculous defense from Vanderlei.

The good performance was exciting. The little evolution in the table, however, was worrying.

This Wednesday, in Curitiba, Timão did not show himself, but he won 1 to 0 efficiently and almost without suffering, adding three very important points in the fight against the end of the table – with 29 points, he climbed six positions in the standings, sunrise this Thursday in ninth position.

With 13 absences – including Cassio who felt muscle pain in the warm-up and made room for Walter – Coach Vagner Mancini achieved his fourth win in ten games by making line-up changes.

With Marllon, Otero and Cantillo suspended, Bruno Méndez, Roni and Xavier went up. By tactical option, he drew Jonathan Cafu and Davo and placed Lucas Piton and Jô in their places.

He caught the attention of the fans when the squad brought in left-back Lucas Piton as an open forward from the left. With several options in low technique (Cafu, Léo Natel and Everaldo), Mancini got on Piton in a role where the young man played a few minutes against Grêmio.

In a midfield with enough freedom to create and a defense that went up the lines, the strategy was to take the ball to the wings, making it possible to play with Fagner and also with Piton / Fábio Santos. Gabriel, on Cantillo’s night, gave Fagner seven shots, hitting five.

With Jô as a reference, the aerial game was the most sought after option, but it was not very effective. After 1 minute, Roni crossed and the 77 shirt sent him off. Others had similar occasions, such as Fábio Santos and Piton himself, who, after finishing in the area, would hit Maílson’s hand, in a penalty that referee Leandro Pedro Vuaden scored with the help of the VAR.

Uninspired second half

Timão returned the same for the final stage, but created very little. The fatigue of just two days of recovery appeared after playing against Grêmio with two less.

Luan, who was coming off two good games, had some good plays, but was not decisive.

In addition, without being attacked by Coxa, a team of enormous difficulty in the creation and that only arrived in a distant shot, Corinthians was taking the result from 1 to 0 until the final whistle.

Mancini tried to change the game by giving more offense and verticality with Everaldo on the left, but there was not much progress. Cazares, back from injury, was also not noticed. The boy Gabriel Pereira, in turn, made an individual move and kicked the goal, drawing attention.

Coritiba was the first team to lose six points to Corinthians at the Brasileirão. In a recovery championship, Timão sees victories and points as the only objective to obtain relief.

The next appointment is against Fortaleza, in a week, at Castelão, a team against that drew 1-1 in the first round. Timão has not won two in a row in the competition.
