In the program "Bate Bom Dia" by ESPN, on the morning of Thursday, 09, commentator Zé Elias criticized the way the Corinthians treated the negotiation with the attacker of the Black Bridge William Pottker. The former Corinthian steering wheel also charged the club's intelligence department.
For Zé Elias, Timão made a serious mistake in the novel Pottker, since the negotiation could have been closed just last year.
"Corinthians made a big mistake, and not only now, he missed already last year. Pottker is new when, in 2017? No, it was new in Paulista (2016) acting for Linense. And then what happens, who's Pottker's manager? Fernando Garcia, how many players does he have in the Corinthians? Did nobody think to talk, show interest? No, they let him go to Black Bridge, and the player blew it. End of year, call Fernando Garcia to talk, close the deal, it's over," said Zé Elias.
The commentator of the ESPN channels also highlighted that the Corinthian board was concerned about the smoke curtain generated around Didier Drogba's possible hiring and forgot the formation of the rest of the cast.
"They waited all this time, had the inability to see that if he (William Pottker) played the Brazilian Cup for the Bridge could not play for the Corinthians, and now, find out at last minute and come with no interest to us anymore. Wrong! [...] And then what happens, to the general astonishment of the Corinthian nation, has plan B? No, where is the Corinthians intelligence department?", he declared.
Finally, Zé Elias spoke about the situation of the Corinthians base players, who could be plan B to the non-contracting of William Pottker.
" The boys at the base play, break in the Copa São Paulo, win titles in the base categories, then go up to the professional to keep training. And the satisfaction they give the player and the cheerleader is that they're integrated into the professional. Integrated just to train? So leave it on junior playing," concluded the commentator.
After announcing the withdrawal from Pottker's contract, Corinthian coach Fabio Carille stated that Timão has no interest in finding another reinforcement for the attack, and that it will give the base chances. The young champion of Copa São Paulo, Carlinhos, starts training with the cast alvinegro on Thursday, next to Pedrinho and Mantuan.
