The fans are mocking Corinthians’ elimination in the Libertadores and fearing relegation.  Victory over Liverpool General does not deceive Luxa – Prisma


São Paulo, Brazil


“Player for sale. Value: 1 Coca-Cola 2 Coxinhas.”


Corinthians, players back off.


“Is he old, injured or bad with the ball? Play here.”


“Millionaire, Incompetent, and Amateur Players”.


Attention management, Fiel is not for sale.


“A missing, corrupt and criminal painting”.


“Give Corinthians to the people.”


“Businessmen are the Corinthian cancer.”


Duiliu is incompetent.


“Regeneration of Chaba and Transparency Cancer Corinthians”.

These were the paths that the organizers took to Neo Química Arena.

Plus the countless clown noses.

No cheers for the team.

Fans sit in silence.

The protest was for the troubling early elimination of the Libertadores.

At risk of landing in the Brazilian.

For the very low sales of promising players like Pedro.


In this awkward climate, a Corinthians side full of boys easily beat a very weak Uruguayan Liverpool, 3-0, and secured themselves the Copa Sudamericana. Goals from Mateus Araujo, Edson and Felipe Augusto.

Vanderlei Luxemburgo was not enthusiastic about the press conference. Quite the opposite. He, who saved several debutants yesterday, because he feared relegation to the Brazilian national team, tried to warn that he would not wear out athletes with Sol Americana.

Since taking charge of Corinthians, president Duilio Monteiro has warned Alves that the team is unable to compete in three competitions: Libertadores, Brasileiro and Copa do Brasil at the same time.

It also eliminated hope for Libertadores.

I wanted to keep the boys in the game against Argentinos Juniors, with three rounds left to finish the group stage. It was the captains of the team, Wagner, Fabio Santos, Gil and Paulinho who asked to play in Argentina. By the coach, the boys would get in and the important players would be saved.


Luxemburgo knew he had to pay a lot for elimination.

And in the tenth edition of the Copa Libertadores he played in his career and ended up disqualified in the group stage.

He confirmed that it was the athletes who asked to play against Argentinos Juniors, contrary to what he had planned. And when he took over, he saw that Corinthians did not have a squad to compete in the Libertadores.

“When I said I don’t have a team to compete with, Libertadores is a completely different competition than Sudamericana.”

That is, he knew that the competition was too strong for the current Corinthians.

Luxemburg convinced the leadership of the Corinthians that the leadership of South America was not interesting. It would even put the boys through the knockout stage. Priority to avoid relegation in the Brazilian. He’s using a “vacancy in Libertadores” as an excuse. But, as the blog says since the start of the national championship, the priority is to try to avoid further relegation of the club to Série B.

In addition to making Corinthians a “sniper” in the Brazilian Cup.

“I’ve already spoken to Duilio, Alessandro (technical director), because we have the Copa Brasil, a six-game competition to win, and in Brazil he’s looking for Libertadores so we can go.”

“There is no doubt that between Sudamericana and Copa do Brasil, Brasileiro and Copa do Brasil and Brasileiro will be the priorities.


On the controversial opinion that Corinthians did not have a team to even qualify for the group stage of the Libertadores, it was quite clear.

“It was the players who wanted to play against Argentinos and then we didn’t perform well against Del Valle and we were eliminated.”

Luxembourg knows how vulnerable Liverpool are. And that the 3-0 win should not be deceiving. And that the impressive performance of the boys he chose has a large part to explain Uruguay’s fragility.

The coach was trapped. He had to talk about Pedro’s strange negotiation. A 17-year-old player who was considered a “phenomenon” at the base. He can be compared to Indrik. Only competitor Palmeiras sold his player for 400 million Brazilian riyals. And Corinthians received 46 million Brazilian reals, in a deal in which Zenit acquired 50% of the rights to the striker.

Luxemburgo continues his incomprehensible comparisons: he compared the athlete’s departure to pasta.

“(The sale) is on toward a solution. I can’t say it’s been decided…

“My idea: Football is like pasta, if you eat it hot, if it’s cold it’s too bad. Don’t go to an Italian cafeteria and eat cold pasta.

“From what I’ve been talking about, the rule is an asset of the club. If a good possibility of negotiation arises, I don’t see why you don’t do it. Let it go, it’s moving towards promoting a sale. We’ve come to a consensus that if it’s confirmed, I see it as a ball deal.” Made, at market prices, and I feel part of it.

“It’s a kid there and he has an opportunity to sell. It’s a business, you need to do business. The club’s assets are basically there. Today these kids are valuable, after the game, they get noticed, they’re an asset to the club. They’re important assets,” explained the technician, Who knows about the huge debt of Corinthians.

Luxembourg’s ability to forget the names of boys at the base is historic.

But it must adapt to the changing times.

The warning came from backup goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, who wanted nothing to do with journalists or anyone calling young players “boys”.

“For boys, they are no longer boys for me. What they did today showed everyone: before calling them children, call them by name.

“They are all adults today, they played like giants.”

They will have to prove that they are adults after the Copa Sudamericana.

Beating a very weak Liverpool overall, Uruguay is no mean feat.

far from it…
