00:00The victory is very important for Cruzeiro in a game where Arthur Jorge was crucial.
00:05not only in assembling the team and the strategy for the game against Corinthians,
00:10but also by knowing how to manage your squad.
00:12The coach fielded a mixed team; he doesn't like us talking about starters or reserves.
00:18But today many players who are not used to being in the starting lineup took to the field.
00:23especially in attack, as is the case with Felipe Moraes and João Costa, who were recently signed.
00:28And João Costa, both of them, were involved in the play that led to the first goal.
00:32But it's a fact that Cruzeiro knew how to play today, especially without Matheus Pereira.
00:37In the first half, without Matheus Pereira and Gerson, Cruzeiro struggled to create any plays.
00:45But he managed to deal with it by creating plays under pressure, just like Cruzeiro's first goal.
00:51Lucas Romero is applying pressure in midfield, linking up on the right side.
00:55João Costa's shot ends and Bruno Rodrigues gets the rebound.
01:00Despite that goal, Cruzeiro wasn't necessarily the better team in the first half.
01:04Corinthians had more possession and created more chances.
01:08But it was Cruzeiro who knew how to take advantage of their chances best.
01:10who scored that 1-0 goal by stealing the ball in the opponent's half.
01:14In the second half, when Arthur Jorge made the substitutions,
01:17He put Matheus Pereira, Gerson and Aoiu on the field.
01:19Cruzeiro conceded a goal after a somewhat clumsy clearance by Otávio.
01:24He came out, he was good in the play, he timed the ball well, but ended up making a technical mistake.
01:29He punched the ball up, and it ended up in a goal that we weren't expecting either.
01:32That a defender like Gustavo Henrique could score such a beautiful goal,
01:37But Corinthians tied the game then, and from that moment on the game became very balanced.
01:42When Cruzeiro managed to take the lead, the game became much more in Cruzeiro's favor.
01:46And even before the goal, with Lúcio coming on, he had a good opportunity on a play down the wing.
01:52hit the post and then, a short time later,
01:55He delivered a good cross for Cruzeiro's comeback goal by Wanderson.
02:00Wanderson, who also came off the bench,
02:02Cruzeiro's second goal came from two players who had just come off the bench.
02:08Lúcio's debut, a good debut for Lúcio in the Cruzeiro jersey.
02:11And after that, despite the positive result, Cruzeiro continued to be the team with more possession of the ball.
02:15and got forward more, even conceding some opportunities to Corinthians on counter-attacks,
02:20but also, perhaps due to the fatigue of the player at Corinthians,
02:23Corinthians failed to capitalize on their chances, and Cruzeiro also managed to hold onto the ball somewhat in attack.
02:28We're leaving with this extremely important result.
02:29An important result, three points, Cruzeiro remains in fifth position in the Brazilian Championship.
02:34and arrives with great confidence for the game against Flamengo in the Libertadores Cup.
02:38And more than that, he arrives with confidence and a full tank.
02:41since Arthur Jorge managed, in addition to winning a very difficult away game against Corinthians,
02:46also to manage their squad and ensure the team's key players are rested for the decisive match in Rio de Janeiro.
02:52January.
