Dorival wants to improve Tite and explains why he exchanged rest for discomfort at Corinthians

He heard proposals from many clubs, including Santos, since he was fired from the Brazilian team. He did not accept any, because he wanted more time to rest and put his head in place, but an offer, the only one of the great Paulistas who never trained, changed his plans. Presented at CT Joaquim records on Tuesday (29), the coach is willing to live the pressure of the alvinegro club, which undergoes a political crisis, but made a reflection on how much the soccer environment affects the mental health of the middle professionals. “The level of collection and concerns of a football professional is very high. People sometimes have no idea what it represents and what it causes throughout the family and people’s context,” said the new Corinthian coach.

Taking care of the mind was the reason that made the Corinthian idol not to be in the place that is now occupied by Dorival. The world champion and the Copa Libertadores even had an agreement to take over the club, but suffered an anxiety crisis on the eve of the hit and decided that it was not yet time to go back to work. ”I imagine what Tite should have passed, naturally passing, that there is a quick recovery. Very high. “It is attention that we should give in a slightly different way and prepare a little more athletes and professional, so that they could understand and endure, because the load is very heavy. I would like one day you could follow the daily life of a coach, a coaching staff, to understand what is after a match. This is dull,” he concluded.

Despite friendship with Tite, Dorival did not look for the gaucho to talk about the trip to Corinthians, even because of his health moment. “I didn’t talk to him, even respecting the situation. What I see is that we have to worry about Tite’s recovery than with another situation.” Unlike Tite, the new Corinthians commander felt he was ready to work again, even after the recent frustration in the Brazilian team. “I would only come to a club when I was recovered from this moment that was striking and registered in my depth. I would not come if I was not recovered.” The 63 -year -old coach is aware that he arrives in an uncomfortable environment. On Monday night, a few hours before the presentation, President Augusto Melo’s first year of management were failed by the Deliberative Council, which, according to the club’s statute, allows a new request for impeachment from Melo.

“My concern is sporty, technique, on the pitch. I will never go into another area that is not responsible. I will try to deliver my best and look for the best possible results,” he just said when asked about the effervescence in São Jorge Park. Dorival cheered up with the conversations he had with the football manager Fabinho Soldado, so he accepted the invitation, despite the delay of a few days to finally say the “yes”. Before, he had not accepted to talk to the other teams that sought him out. “I thank all the teams that contacted. I needed a necessary stop. It was striking, even because of the feeling of coming and the results would not come out the way I would.

In conversations with the soldier, he did not hear great promises of reinforcements and guarantees that this was not his concern right now. “I never arrived at a club that made advance requests to the board. We much more provoke sales than acquisitions. I don’t get concerned with possible and new signings.” Another element that seduced Dorival was the Corinthian fans, which he himself had already praised on other occasions when he faced the team. “It was missing in my resume, you can be sure that I will do everything within my reach,” he said. “For me, (the fans) has always been a differential. I have no doubt that it will flow in a very positive way. He never left the team to the Leu. It’s a crowd that defines championship.”
