Despite Corinthians having started the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship among the top four on the leaderboard, Sylvinho’s work is still widely questioned by Corinthians fans, due to the team’s fluctuations in the tournament.
While at home the team defends an unbeaten run of ten games, with eight wins and two draws, away from home the Parque São Jorge club hasn’t won for eight matches, in which they lost six times and drew twice.
As a source of relief for the Alvinegra fans, Corinthians will face Athletico this Sunday (28) at Neo QuÃmica Arena, in Itaquera, at 4 pm (Globo shows the game).
More than a new positive result as home team, Sylvinho’s team needs to show a convincing presentation, like what happened in their last match at home, when they beat Santos, 2-0, last weekend.
In the final stretch of the Nacional, the team’s goal is to win a direct spot in the 2022 Libertadores. In the case of the coach, in addition to the classification, he seeks to alleviate the criticism he has received, above all, for the lack of results and the team’s performance abroad From home.
Last Thursday (25), the Corinthians team lost from Ceará, by 2-1, at Castelão, in a game in which they even managed to balance their actions, but again suffered with crucial errors.
In this case, a failure by goalkeeper Cássio early in the game made it possible for the home team to open the scoreboard, after 6 minutes, increasing the pressure on the São Paulo team.
Towards the end, Corinthians still drew, with Róger Guedes, but faltered in defense again and conceded the second goal minutes later, when Yony González defined the victory of Ceará.
Assessing his performance ahead of the club alvinegro right after the defeat, Sylvinho said he has done a decent job. “I don’t pretend to analyze it, I know it’s decent, honest, sweaty work.”
He also valued the environment in the CT of the Ecological Park. “Our environment is good, pleasant, and we have a fight for a vacancy for Libertadores,” he said.
After the duel with Athletico, Corinthians will have two more games to confirm their goal of achieving a direct spot in the South American competition. On December 5th, he will receive Grêmio, in Itaquera, and then he will have his last chance to end his fast as a visitor at Nacional, in front of Juventude, on the 9th, in Caxias do Sul.
