Part 6/7:
Corinthians' ability to 'create a thick shell,' as it were, highlights their commitment to cultivate resilience throughout the season. The encounter at Allianz Park added another layer of toughness to a team that is still seeking to find its footing early in the tournament. While there were notable improvements in their performance, especially in the second half, the defensive weaknesses that emerged, particularly in the first half, are still a significant concern for manager Ramon.
Looking Ahead
As the tournament progresses, it is essential for Ramon to address these defensive frailties. The early stages of the season allow for adjustments, but as the stakes rise, so too will the need for a solidified backline.
