Dorival Júnior, em treino no CT Joaquim Grava (Rodrigo Coca/Agência Corinthians)
Zé Elias concorda com Dorival Júnior sobre a necessidade do Corinthians “buscar opções no mercado”. Embora os onze titulares tenham um patamar elevado, o restante do plantel, segundo o ex-jogador, não possui o mesmo nível. Por conta disso, nas ausências de Depay, Garro, Yuri Alberto e outros principais atletas, existe um maior risco de derrotas e, consequentemente, a zona de rebaixamento do Brasileirão pode ficar mais próxima.
“A realidade que precisa ser colocada na mesa é que o time tem limitações. Os onze titulares são bons jogadores, é um time competitivo, mas não tem um elenco para disputar o Brasileiro. Se você puxar as escalações (contra o Red Bull Bragantino), o Corinthians não tinha banco. Eram só meninos das categorias de base.”, disse Zé Elias, no “Equipe F”, da ESPN.
“Se não contratar jogadores que coloquem a camisa, entrem em campo e resolvam determinados problemas, o Corinthians vai passar sérios problemas no Brasileiro. ‘Ah, mas teve boas oportunidades e o goleiro fez grandes defesas’. Qual foi o resultado final? Derrota. Vai jogar contra o Ceará sem os principais jogadores e com dificuldades enormes para jogar.”, acrescentou.
Cobranças da torcida
Ciente da exigência para jogar no Corinthians, Zé Elias considera que os protestos pacíficos da torcida podem causar um impacto positivo. Levando em conta a intolerância para qualquer tipo de acomodação em campo, o comentarista vê margem para a pressão motivar um ímpeto maior dos jogadores.
“O time do Corinthians tem limitações. A cobrança vai mudar alguma coisa? Acredito que vai porque tem a responsabilidade, você está vendo os torcedores ali. Se entende que tem uma responsabilidade de vestir essa camisa e precisa de um determinado tipo de comportamento, que é o que a torcida mais exige. Dentro de campo, muda o foco e o sentido de uma derrota, que ganha um peso maior.”, afirmou.
Zinho faz ressalva após discurso de Zé Elias
Participando do debate, Zinho manifestou um sentimento de confiança em relação ao elenco do Corinthians. Ainda que reforços de peso não sejam contratados, o tetracampeão acredita que o atual grupo dirigido por Dorival Júnior é capaz de evitar qualquer tipo de sufoco ao longo do Brasileirão.
“É um momento difícil do Corinthians, mas esse elenco que está aí ganhou o Paulista e fez uma campanha muito boa no ano passado que levou o Corinthians para a Libertadores. Não houve manutenção porque os problemas extracampo refletiram no campo, tanto que saiu o treinador. Eu não acho que esse elenco é para ser campeão brasileiro, mas não é para brigar contra o rebaixamento.”, opinou.

Aaron Rodgers shares his one regret during time with Packers as Steelers QB prepares to face former team
While Aaron Rodgers took extra delight in beating the Jets back in Week 1, the Steelers quarterback has made it clear that the same energy doesn't apply to Sunday's game against the Packers, his other former team that he enjoyed a tremendous amount of success with during their 18-year partnership. "I don't have any animosity toward the organization," Rodgers said. "Obviously, I wish that things have been better in our last year there, but I have a great relationship with a lot of people still in that organization, and this is not a revenge game for me. I'm just excited to see some of those guys and be on 'Sunday Night Football.'" Rodgers has a profound appreciation for his time in Green Bay and the things he and the Packers were able to accomplish. He does, however, wish that their time together had ended […]
Could Cowboys’ DeMarvion Overshown have Micah Parsons-like impact upon Week 11 return?
FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys explosive linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is back... at practice. The 25-year-old, who tore his ACL in the 2023 preseason as a rookie and then his ACL again, MCL and PCL on Thanksgiving last year, returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity. Overshown went through individual position drills and then more conditioning with him treating the practices right now as his version of training camp. "Ain't God good man. He is. He is. It's a blessing just to be out there. Been watching for 300-plus days now. So when you [are] a guy like me that football is more than just a game to you, it's a way of life, you play with a passion and that energy. When you're able to do it again, you never take it for granted," Overshown said.He plans to […]

How Jude Bellingham goal saw Real Madrid edge past Juventus 1-0 in hard-fought contest
He has been speaking to Movistar TV:💬 “Very happy with the victory, it was a very tough, hard win. We had to sweat a lot, but it's a very important win, against another top team. “We have nine points from nine, next we are going to Anfield. And we'll see what happens there. But we've started well, and will keep working hard.“This is Juve, not a small team, and when they defend like that, very deep, and want to hit on the break, it is not easy. We needed more rhythm, to move the ball more from side to side, which is what the manager told us at the break, for the wingers to stay wide. “We caused more danger with Vini Jr. In the first half they caused us a few problems, which is something we'll have to look […]
