The goalkeeper Matheus Donelli, starting in the defeat of Corinthians 2 to 0 for Palm trees, shared his impressions about the hiring of Hugo Souza, who is enough to be his competitor in Timão's goal. Donelli also highlighted the leadership spirit that some cast youths are demonstrating, especially at a time of reformulation of the squad.
Hugo Souza, 25 years old, who played for Chaves last season, came to Sao Paulo to sign a loan contract by the end of the year. The hiring is seen as an important option for a sector that has faced difficulties since the exits of Cássio and Carlos Miguel.
"Everyone that's enough, enough to add, help. I haven't talked to him because I don't know him and I haven't seen him at CT yet. But every athlete who comes, we'll welcome him with open arms. He will be very welcome to help the cast," commented Donelli, who recently picked up a four-game sequence as a starter in Corinthians.
Youth Leadership
After the Derby defeat, only Donelli and Leo Mana spoke to reporters in the mixed zone. Asked whether this indicates the emergence of new leaders in the cast, Donelli stated that situations like this help in the formation of athletes with leadership profile.
"It is in these situations that leaders are formed, references within the club and a cast. We know our responsibility, regardless of age. We will do our best to get out of this situation," said Donelli, who, like Mana, expressed confidence in the work that has been carried out by coach António and his commission.
Performance in the Brazilian Championship
With the defeat in the classic for the Palm trees, Corinthians finished the round in the penultimate position of the Brazilian Championship, with only nine points won. Timão is seven games away without winning in the season, a worrying fast that puts even more pressure on the cast and the technical committee.
The team returns to the field on Thursday night, against the Victory, at Neo Química Arena, desperately seeking a victory to try to get out of the relegation zone and regain the confidence of the fans.
Conclusion
The arrival of Hugo Souza and the emergence of new young leaders like Donelli are elements that can help the Corinthians to overcome the difficult phase you are going through. The confidence and determination of the young players, combined with the reinforcement in the goal, are crucial so that Timão can rise again in the Brazilian Championship.
