Corinthians full-back shares hopes ahead of Sunday’s Derby | OneFootball

On the morning of this Saturday, the 30th, Corinthians completed their preparation for the Derby this Sunday against Palmeiras at the Neo Química Arena, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match, which takes place at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), will be the seventh classic played between the teams this season – a sequence that hasn't occurred since the 2000 season.

The squad gathered this Saturday at the Joaquim Grava Training Center and began the session by watching a video with tactical instructions, followed by the traditional activation in the gym, and finally, the warm-up. Then, guided by coach Dorival Júnior, the players participated in tests to define the starting lineup for this Sunday and concluded the training with set-piece plays.

Dorival Júnior will not be able to count on Matheus Bidu for the Derby, as the left-back is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Thus, Angileri is expected to be the starter in the position. The Argentine spoke with Corinthians TV about the possibility, emphasizing the importance of the classic for the group.

“Everyone knows that these are classics, and classics are played differently. It is a special classic that requires a lot of concentration and determination. The history this year has been favorable for us, and this is important. I believe we are well-prepared to play this last classic of the year. God willing, we can bring happiness to our fans, earn the three points at home, and win the classic.”
