‘The numbers count. Every time I started out, I scored. I just let the numbers speak.’
The phrase is by Alexandre Pato, on the field exit of the Arena Fountain Luminosa on Sunday, after converting penalty that gave the victory by the minimum score to Corinthians over the Fluminense. Second worst attack of the Brazilian Championship, only behind the nautical lantern, the Corinthian sector is better with Duck in the field. Much better. At least in numbers.
The team's goalkeeper at the Brazilian Championship, Alexandre Pato won 14 of the 33 competition matches and scored eight goals. In these matches, Corinthians reached an average of 1.14 goals per game, well above its score.
With Duck in the reserve, as against Fluminense, Corinthians had 12 matches and scored eight goals, an index of 0.66. In these games, the attacker scored only once, exactly penalty on the night of last Sunday.
There were still seven matches in which Alexandre Pato did not play – six in service of the team, one injured – and in those games the Corinthians, coincidentally or not, had their worst offensive moments. Only two goals were scored, and the index fell to 0.28 goals scored.
Of course, more goals are made, the Corinthians also earn more points when they have Alexandre Duck in the field as holder. Seven of the ten victories in the Brazilian Championship took place in these matches: 59% of use, which falls to 36% when it is reserved and 33% in the games in which it was embezzled.
