00:00Hey everyone, how's it going? Just dropping by to talk a little about Corinthians' 3-1 victory over there.
00:09at the Grêmio Arena.
00:10An important victory, and we can even see it as a victory in which Corinthians managed to dominate the action in relation to...
00:18Grêmio's team.
00:19Well, before we talk about the match itself, coach Fernando Diniz made two substitutions.
00:25One of his choices was to bring André back into midfield, and then he took Alan out.
00:31And in the other match, without Memphis and without Lingard, Corinthians, coach Fernando Diniz decided to field Caio César.
00:38And we can say that Fernando Diniz did indeed make a precise choice, because he was perfect in those two substitutions and
00:46The result is on the field.
00:48Both André and Caio César scored the goals in Corinthians' 3-1 victory.
00:53And they were the main protagonists of the match.
00:57Well, Grêmio opened the scoring with Gabriel Mec early in the first half.
01:01But that was the only time Grêmio really scared Corinthians.
01:05After that, the Corinthians team dominated the match, dominating all the action.
01:10It took a while for him to score his first goal.
01:12Based on how Corinthians had been playing, they had already deserved the first goal before the end of the first half.
01:19Because it came right at the end, in the 43rd minute, Corinthians scored their first equalizing goal and naturally
01:27Corinthians' first goal of the game.
01:30But he had already deserved it before.
01:31At 20 or 30 minutes, Corinthians was already suffocating Grêmio, having more possession of the ball and creating more chances to...
01:38danger.
01:39He managed to score the equalizing goal with André.
01:42Upon returning for the second half, the scenario was the same.
01:45The Corinthians team dominated the game and created the main scoring opportunities.
01:51And then André's star appeared, shining again.
01:55Not only from André, I'm here with our account of the play from the game.
02:00But not only with André, but also with Yuri Alberto.
02:03Because Yuri Alberto provided two assists.
02:06He provided the first assist for André to score in the 19th minute of the second half.
02:11And then Caio César scored in the 22nd minute of the second half.
02:18So there were two quick goals and two goals with Yuri Alberto involved.
02:22Yuri Alberto didn't score any goals, but he contributed with assists.
02:27So, the Corinthians team dominated today's match and built up the result.
02:32He remained calm and patient, because Grêmio opened the scoring very early.
02:37Grêmio is the home team in the game, with the fans cheering them on.
02:40And then Corinthians showed patience, knew how to handle the situation, and managed to turn the game around.
02:45And to have these individual highlights.
02:48As I mentioned, André, Caio César, and Yuri Alberto.
02:51These are the three players I would cite as the main standouts.
02:54But there was a play, here in the play we put the famous one in the spotlight.
03:03And I put "trending," but not "trending," sorry.
03:07The key play, I included the one where Hugo Souza scored in the second half, when the game was still 1-1.
03:14Hugo Souza made two great saves.
03:18A shot from Bright White, then the play continued.
03:21And then, in another shot by Gabriel Mech, Hugo Souza made another save.
03:26So, that crucial moment in the game was important to me because Corinthians was playing better.
03:34Grêmio hadn't been getting many opportunities.
03:37In that play, which was Grêmio's best chance in the second half, if Grêmio had scored to make it 2-1,
03:43Aware that they were struggling in the match, Grêmio naturally planned to hold back a bit more.
03:48I was going to try to keep possession of the ball.
03:52And then Corinthians would obviously have more difficulty making it 2-2.
03:57It's even more difficult to turn.
03:59So, today was an important match for Hugo Souza as well.
04:05Because he made a decisive contribution to the match.
04:09I believe those two saves secured the victory for Corinthians today.
04:15So, in addition to the three I mentioned, André, Caio César, and Yuri Alberto,
04:19I'll mention this play by Hugo Souza, which was very important in the victory.
04:23But we also have to highlight Fernando Diniz, who is making a good start to his tenure.
04:28So, it's a cycle that has now come to an end, right?
04:31This cycle of Fernando Diniz's first months at Corinthians,
04:34Because now there's this break for the World Cup.
04:37And Corinthians came from a defeat against Platense,
04:39for Platense at Neoquímica Arena.
04:42The team received several, some players.
04:44So, Corinthians needed to give an answer today.
04:47An immediate response.
04:48And not just because of the score.
04:49That's what's important to highlight.
04:51Corinthians didn't just respond based on the score.
04:53He responded by pointing to the team's attitude.
05:00Because they had an offensive team, a team that sought to play the game,
05:03A team that pressed more than Grêmio throughout the entire game.
05:07Corinthians sought victory much more than Grêmio did.
05:09even when playing away from home.
05:11So, a very important match for Corinthians.
05:14A very important victory.
05:15So, with this result, Corinthians now has 24 points.
05:226 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in ninth place.
05:27For the time being, the championship and the round are still unfolding.
05:33But, provisionally, Corinthians remains in the top half of the table.
05:39Let me grab this for you, so we can talk about how Corinthians does it.
05:44to finish this first phase in the first part.
05:48In the G10, in the G8, in the G9.
05:51Corinthians is currently in the top 9.
05:53It's in 9th place.
05:54Cruzeiro still has a game to play.
05:56Botafogo played and lost to Bahia.
06:00So, if Botafogo were to win, Corinthians would be dropping a bit.
06:04Vitória will play against Santos shortly.
06:08And then there's Atlético Mineiro, who, if they win, will overtake Corinthians.
06:12So, there are still some results that could affect Corinthians' position in the Brasileirão standings.
06:16But it's important to highlight that the result itself goes beyond...
06:22The match itself goes beyond the result.
06:24It depends on posture and everything else.
06:25Even if Corinthians drops out of the top 8, the top 9, or even the first half of the Brasileirão table.
06:33The team concludes this cycle during the World Cup break.
06:36With more reasons to celebrate than to lament.
06:39With many reasons to celebrate.
06:41Fernando Diniz's work is clicking.
06:43Diniz is doing well at Corinthians.
06:45The team had a good first phase in the Libertadores.
06:49They advanced to the next round in the Copa do Brasil.
06:53He managed to recover in the Brasileirão after a difficult start under Dorival.
06:57Now he's even managed to get into the top half of the table.
07:01So, there are far more reasons to celebrate than to lament.
07:06Now, pause.
07:07Corinthians should hold their pre-season training here in São Paulo.
07:12According to Marcelo Paz.
07:13You shouldn't have any trips scheduled for the off-season.
07:17Corinthians is still evaluating some friendly matches.
07:20There's a friendly match scheduled against Cascavel.
07:23There might be other friendly matches.
07:27But basically, that's the situation Corinthians is in right now.
07:30Corinthians' next Brasileirão match will be against Remo at Neokimica Arena.
07:34Remo is having a bad championship.
07:37We know.
07:38But in this important match, Corinthians can climb even higher in the Brasileirão standings.
07:42And then, fight for the top spots.
07:45In the Copa Libertadores, the team faces Rosario Central in the round of 16.
07:50And in the Copa do Brasil, the team faces Internacional from Porto Alegre.
07:55The two games, both against Internacional and against Rosario Central,
07:59Corinthians will decide the match at Neokimica Arena.
08:01So, some people prefer to descend from the outside.
08:04Others are at home.
08:05Marcelo Paz says he prefers to decide things internally.
08:09I'm with Marcelo Paz.
08:10I think that's a slight advantage.
08:13Although we know that this doesn't guarantee anything.
08:16But it's a small advantage.
08:18Right?
08:18Well, that's it then.
08:19Corinthians is taking a break now.
08:21For this Brazilian championship.
08:22With this important victory against Grêmio.
08:25There at the Grêmio Arena.
08:27With a good performance.
08:28And good individual performances from the players.
08:31Right?
08:31And that.
08:32Thank you all very much.
08:33Until next time.
