Palmeiras becomes an increasingly relaxed leader; and the Corinthians, the increasingly endangered vice-leader. This Saturday’s (13/08) clash in Itaquera will be a great chance for Timão to close the gap and also ease the pressure that has gripped the dressing room since Libertadores’ relegation.
The position of coach Vitor Pereira is not easy. On social networks, I read and heard how many Timao fans miss Carill, Mancin and even Silvinho. Everything became very difficult.
As the ball rolled, Fiel Torcida decided to pay “homage” to midfielder Willian, who chose to leave by exiting through the back door. Then the whole stadium shouted at the top of their lungs for several minutes: “Willian, go to f*ck!”
But William has already passed. Corinthians played even better without him. Renato Augusto played the role of “game organizer” well, but it turns out that Palmeiras is a very “dirty” opponent. It is no coincidence that he is among the leaders of the championship.
It so happened that, despite the clear superiority and greater possession of the ball, Corinthians made the mistake of “opening the defense.” It’s like a boxing match: you can’t let your opponent hit you.
At the moment when Corinthians seemed to be more attacking, there was a mistake in the attack, and Verdao went on the counterattack and equalized.
Two defeats in a row at home. This is very serious. Vitor Pereira is now playing for life next Wednesday (17.06) against Atlético-GO. Something tells me that if the team is eliminated, the board will send it back to Portugal.
