The Carnival of the Corinthians began on Saturday night, after the game against São Caetano, by the Paulista Championship (see next door). This time, however, players who want to fall into the revelry will have extra concern, as competition for a place on the team has increased and a possible exaggeration at parties can cost the disadvantage over a better prepared companion. It's this competition that makes the technical committee believe that no one's going out of line on holiday.
The Corinthians get Sunday off and have a whole week of training until the classic Palmeiras, the 17th, at Pacaembu. Soon after, it premiered in the Libertadores Cup against San José, Bolivia, on the 20th. Two decisive games for anyone who wants to stand among the holders. Anyone who abuses parties will lose space in such a competitive work environment.
The physiotherapist Bruno Mazziotti did not pass special recommendations to the athletes, but stressed that the psychological part may weigh at the time of the party.
– They play on a big team, the level of competition is huge. If you exaggerate, you tend to go out in an important week. What decides their selection is the week with Tite, and I think that should go through the head of every professional who works with this technical commission – said Mazziotti.
According to the professional, slack is needed for players to rest a little after the preseason race and the interspersed games between half and weekend. The break is considered essential for Tite to be able to have a full team against Palmeiras and the Liberators premiere.
– This time off is important in any programming. I was already in the planning, because we knew there wouldn't be a round in the middle of the week. They came out of preseason, heavy training, so we need to respect this rest condition. So far, everyone has achieved their goals – Bruno Mazziotti said.
With the planning done, Corinthians should only not have a player in the match against San José: the Chicão quarterback, who underwent arthroscopy on his left knee and should not return until the end of February.
