Corinthians only drew today (3) without goals with Red Bull Bragantino, at the Nabi Abi Chedid stadium, in Bragança Paulista, for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The result increases Alvinegro’s crisis, which is closer to the relegation zone. Timão remains two points from the relegation zone but could lose more positions in the round as opponents battling the stick still play Sunday.
Corinthians repeated the result of the last game, against Atlético-GO, in addition to football itself, with an excess of individual and collective errors.
In the next round, Corinthians will play the classic against Santos, on Wednesday (7), at 7 pm (Brasilia time), at Neo Química Arena, for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. Red Bull Bragantino hosts Internacional next Thursday.
Who did it well: Arthur, the one who ran the most
The technical quality of the game was well below expectations. Arthur was the most efficient player of the match, dribbling and speeding. However, he again sinned too much in the introductions.
Who was wrong: Jô removed and replaced
Forward Jô was inoperative on the field. The 77 shirt shows it without the rhythm of the game. He was substituted 20 minutes into the second half in the afternoon by Boselli.
Mantuan entered well
Young midfielder Gustavo Mantuan entered the team well in the second half. In addition to skill, he gave the team movement and speed. With the poor phase of Timão’s leading players in 2020, Mantuan may have more opportunities. Corinthians closed the match with the offensive quartet formed by Mosquito, Cazares, Mantuan and Boselli.
Gabriel back and lost
Midfielder Gabriel was the only surprise in Dyego Coelho’s lineup. The number 5 shirt was lost in the marking and went wrong with Lucas Evangelista, Artur and company. the midfielder received a yellow card in the first half. It is worth mentioning that he lost the starting position with Coelho after serving the sanction.
Game timeline
Corinthians played much of the game in the 4-4-2 scheme, with two lines of four. Cantillo and Gabriel inside, with Otero and Léo Natel at the sides. In front, Luan and Jô. It should be noted that the number 7 fit in again in midfield and form a “line of three” behind Jô. However, Corinthians exposes imbalance, failed ball exit, with several passing errors and no speed on the edges. The first dangerous shot comes at the end of the first half, when Léo Natel risked a shot from outside the area. Red Bull Bragantino runs a lot, unlike Corinthians, it shows more sympathy, but touches more ball before attempting submissions and, when it finished, it did not hit or stop at Cássio. In the second half, Corinthians was faster with substitutions and, mainly, with the new offensive quartet, made up of Mosquito, Cazares, Mantuan and Boselli, but they sinned in the “last pass” and in the submissions.
Fagner returns from suspension and already takes a card
Fagner returned to the team after serving the automatic suspension. The number 23 kept the “standard” and already received a yellow card, today in the first half. The winger missed many passes and barely supported the attack.
