O Corinthians prioritizes the recovery in the Brazilian Championship in a plan that takes into account the sequence of seven matches that will have to compete until the opening of the transfer window, on July 10. The idea of the Alvinegra direction is to avoid the departure of players from the cast before that period. The only exceptions must be Carlos Miguel, right with the Nottingham Forest, from England, and quarterback Raul Gustavo, in sight of clubs from Hungary and Mexico.
O Corinthians understands that there should be casualties in the next window, as well as the arrival of reinforcements, but prioritizes the recovery in the table. In order to get through these seven games in a comfortable situation and avoid an even greater crisis, the management and the technical committee understand that it is necessary to avoid more embezzlements, even those players who have not acted frequently.
Fausto Vera and Pedro Raul, for example, are players with polls and can leave the club in the middle of the year. Although they have not acted so often, losing them at this moment is seen as a problem to meet possible needs that may arise.
At the moment, the Corinthians it does not have the defender Félix Torres and the striker Romero, both serving the selections of Ecuador and Paraguay, respectively, in the Cup America dispute. Fagner and Pedro Henrique, injured, are other players unavailable.
For the classic against Sao Paulo, Antonio Oliveira will have the embezzlements of Gustavo Henrique and Rodrigo Garro, suspended, besides Fagner and Pedro Henrique, injured, and the summoned Felix Torres and Romero. All in all, it's six players out of the game.
The loss of more players can further hinder the Portuguese coach in the search for points than the Corinthians understands to be crucial to avoid greater pressure for possible bad results. "It is clear that we have suffered many setbacks within what is our cast. So many exits, many injuries. And from this perspective we are increasingly reducing what our options are. There is a clear need for team reinforcement, but now we cannot strengthen. We have to live with these people who have had a great pleasure and pride to work with, up to seven more games. So, from there we see what is going to happen," said Antonio Oliveira, in an interview after the tie with Atlético-GO.
The sequence of games seen as crucial to the Corinthians Here's the thing.

O Corinthians uses creativity to reinforce itself in the middle of the year window. Without financial resources, the management seeks athletes without the need for purchase or investment. Therefore, the club does not rule out involving players in exchanges with other clubs, in addition to giving up athletes who receive high wages to relieve the leaf or make room for the arrival of reinforcements that fit the profile desired by Antonio Oliveira.
The executive Fabinho Soldier has led the negotiations and sought alternatives in the market to strengthen the team, while analyst Thiago Gasparino delivers reports of monitored athletes that may be alternative. Initially, the Corinthians seeks in the market a goalkeeper, a midfielder of marking and creation, and an attacker. Between four and six players can be hired.
In short, the Corinthians is determined to shield his cast and focus on the crucial games of the Brazilian Championship. With a well-defined strategy, the club hopes to overcome the difficult phase and position itself better in the table before opening the transfer window.
