Two situations arouse the curiosity of the Corinthians fan to continue the duel with Flamengo this Sunday, at 4:00 pm, in Neo Química Arena, for the 17th day of the Brazilian Championship.
The first, how could it be otherwise, is whether Vagner Mancini will choose Cássio or Walter in the white goal. The second, perhaps less debated among Corinthians, is about Timão’s position on the pitch.
Ok let’s go! In my sight Cássio is Corinthians’ best player in 2020 and it should stay among the headlines. The number 12 jersey made some mistakes in the season, it is true, but it also saved the team from many (!) Losses and draws.
I respect Walter’s spectacular performance at the Arena da Baixada last Wednesday, but I don’t think Cássio is the main culprit in the team stage. Punctuation.
And the identity of the group?
Yes, I would also like to take advantage of this space to delve into the tactical issue of Corinthians.
Vagner Mancini arrived changing pieces and also the tactical design of the team in the victory over Athletico-PR. The traditional 4-2-3-1 gave way to a 4-1-4-1, which in some moments without the ball also became a 4-5-1.
So, I think that, despite possible changes, the scheme will remain in front of Flamengo and we will see some more characteristics of Mancini, despite the short time of work.
Watching this Friday’s training video posted by Corinthians TV, I noticed that the coach intends to put more Corinthians in the rival area, something that had rarely happened at the club.
In the images below, for example, we noticed that the activity had one athlete advancing from the side and at least four attackers or socks reaching the large area to receive the pass and finish.

It may seem normal, but this situation has hardly happened in the last matches of Corinthians. When the team attacked from the sides of the field, usually with the boy Lucas Piton, only Jô was placed in the middle of the area to attempt the goal.
This made the team very predictable and also made it easier to mark the opposing defense.
Due to Flamengo’s style of play, I don’t know if we will see him this Sunday. However, we will soon repair plays like these, we must remember that Atlético-GO de Mancini had exactly that characteristic in the attack field.
Anyway, it’s good to see new ideas in CT Joaquim Grava and to expect a good performance from Corinthians. The opponent is difficult, but facing Timão in the Neo Química Arena should be even more difficult.
I confess that I am excited and eager to follow this classic.
