Almost a week after being defeated by 3–2 for the Corinthians, coach Alberto Valentim returned to comment on the classic before the greatest rival. In a press conference at the Palmeirense CT, the coach countered the statements of Fábio Carille, commander of Timão.
For Valentine, there was no marking failure in the Dérbi. The coach recalled that Corinthians' first goal was irregular, and therefore did not characterize a defensive error of his team.
"The game in Salvador (defeat against Victory) was our worst ever. The team had a lot of casualties. Against the Corinthians, we played a great game. The coach who said he won the game on our high line has to remember that he made the first goal with hindrance. So you didn't have that frustration that you didn't win.. It's bitter taste, but we're in the field to win the victory. Ali, we'd forgotten about Corinthians. As I said a few times, we don't have time to celebrate victory and keep our heads down after defeat," he said.
The fact is that Corinthians won Palmeiras 3–2 with a goal prevented, but dominated the confrontation in its entirety. Between opportunities and lost goals, Timão dominated the archrival tactically and deserved victory.
