Piccinato highlights semi-final lead, urges Corinthians to stay calm | OneFootball

Corinthians scored two goals and built a good advantage for the return match of the Women's Brasileirão, against São Paulo. Despite the 2 x 0 score, coach Lucas Piccinato asked for attention in the return match, which will have the Brabas as hosts and the Fiel Torcida by their side.

“I think it's an important advantage, but last year, for example, we went with the same advantage against them in the final, 3×1, two goals difference, and at 40 of the first half there, they scored an offside goal that could change the whole course of the game, and we passed in the first half, at 0x0“, the coach began.

“We have to understand that it is an advantage, we can't neglect the advantage, but we have to go to the second game with the same mindset that we entered here to win the game, an opponent that we hadn't beaten yet in the season was bothering and obviously play a good game there in our return match to come out with the qualification for the final“, he added.

As he mentioned, last year Corinthians faced São Paulo in the final of the Brasileirão and also played the first leg away from home, winning 3 x 1 and having two goals advantage. Despite the pressure on the return, the Brabas were crowned champions.

“I think it represents a good first step, it's important to come out with an advantage to defend at home, as we did in the last knockout stages of Brazilians last year, but a very calm mindset that absolutely nothing is won, São Paulo is a very capable team, and we need to work hard on our mistakes to be able to play a good game in the return match and win again“, said Piccinato.
