The quarterfinals of the Campeonato Paulista are decided between Wednesday and Thursday night
With two of the favorites to qualify have to revert less good results suffered in the first leg. This was the case of Corinthians who, in front of Bragantino, ended up suffering three goals and starting at a disadvantage for the second leg.
Fábio Carille’s team can see some surprise at having conceded three goals, compared to eight in the competition so far, but nothing that happened in the first leg can be considered a novelty.
In the three goals conceded, Corinthians revealed the same defensive problems that have been affecting the team in this state, with difficulties to organize the coverage, the space left between blocks and the problems facing teams that explore the depth.
The coach himself is aware of this, in recognition of the little time taken to train a new arrangement of the pieces on the pitch.
Still, the problem in this second-leg encounter is also on the offensive level.
The team need a two-goal lead to qualify, and despite 19 goals scored in the group stage, the squad does not have a real area solution, with the best scorers in this Paulista to be midfielder Balbuena and midfielder Jadson.
Veteran Emerson Sheik has been a starter and may need a solution.
As for Bragantino, who in the group stage of Paulistão also suffered only eight goals, has an unexpected advantage to manage. I do not think the team needs to make a big change in strategic behavior for this game.
They will again initiate their opponents, trying to exploit the moments of transition to score. Every goal scored in this second hand will bring the Bragantino out of a big surprise.
But most likely we will see Corinthians get around, overcoming the difficulties.
