After ten consecutive victories, Corinthians left Morumbis with a 3-1 defeat. In addition to the rain, which delayed the game by an hour, defensive failures cost Timão dearly.
During the press conference, Ramón Díaz and his assistant, Emiliano, regretted the result.
“The classics are completely different. I think the condition of the field didn’t allow us to do so well, just as it didn’t allow them to do so well. It became difficult to maintain the combinations. The defeat hurts a lot, because it’s been a while since we lost. It really hurts us, but we will keep working. Let’s fix it. Today, it cost us some things. We had some specific errors that cost us the defeat, a difficult game.”
The commander also spoke about the set piece, which led to São Paulo’s first goal. According to Ramón, the black and white team trained the play all week, but, in the game,
“These are very specific situations and plays. The match was balanced. They didn’t have a chance in the first half, we had a good header and other chances. He jumped very well in the first goal, we had worked a lot on set pieces during the week”
“It’s these types of moves that decide the classics. We have to keep working, there are few situations we have had. It was one of the few matches where we didn’t have so many chances. We have to work, be more creative and improve quickly” – said the Corinthians coach.
