Opinion – Juca Kfouri: Corinthians benefits from the return of Fiel and is taken by her to Libertadores

Corinthians has been happy at home, just look at the trajectory of their last eight games.

Lost to São Paulo, in Morumbi; brought a draw between Beira-Rio and Inter; then it won, in Itaquera, in the end, both the relegated Chapecoense and the desfalcated Fortaleza; took a shameful trauma from Atlético Mineiro, in Mineirão; he won, again in his stadium, against the daring Cuiabá; he took, with fear, a vario from Flamengo reserves, in Maracanã and, finally, again in front of Fiel, surpassed, to enter the G4, the still threatened Santos.

Of the four games he has to play, he will face Ceará in the next round and Juventude in the last one, in addition to receiving Athletico Paranaense, the great champion of the Copa Sudamericana, and Grêmio, against whom he can return the final blow of the relegation suffered in 2007.

Even without Giuliano, against Santos without Marinho, Corinthians played an excellent first-half, as if doped by Fiel, when he scored three times and ended up in the hands of João Paulo.

Only in the second half did the team turn the abysmal superiority into goals, with Jô, at the beginning, and Gabriel, at the end.

In short, Corinthians played a part in the signings made, recklessly, to escape the fall and reach the Libertadores.
