Fabinho Soldado, former Flamengo football manager, was officially presented as executive director of Corinthians this past Saturday morning (10) and cited his time at Mais Querido to detail what he will do at the São Paulo team. Fabinho will have an important role in assembling the cast, unlike Rubro Negro, which already had Bruno Spindel.


“The role is more executive. I come from a place where the director also exists, the relationship needs to be close. I only have 17 days at the club, I'm just getting to know it. There has to be this exchange, the director is also important. The executive is not limited to hiring athletes, we have several departments that we need to think about, the demand is very high. I like being on the field in these most difficult moments, understanding the athlete's feelings. When things get on track, I'll go behind the scenes”, said Fabinho.


Fabinho also expressed concern about the current situation of Itaquera's team. Unlike the time when he was at Flamengo, when he was always fighting for titles, the current executive director is experiencing a crisis at the São Paulo team with the chance of his new club falling to Series B of the state.


PROMISE IN USING THE BASIS FOR THE TEAM'S EVOLUTION

“We are in a complicated moment, we need to take it seriously. This is our reality. We need to do more, it is unacceptable for Corinthians to have five consecutive defeats. But we have to be calm in the midst of these difficulties. We have 70 games a year, for that we need a squad, we need a base”, concluded the executive director.


Fabinho worked at Flamengo alongside Juan, who was technical manager. The former Mais Querido defender also left the club after receiving an invitation from the CBF to work as technical coordinator.

The final stretch of preparation for the World Cup is approaching. With the qualifiers over , the Brazilian national team will now focus solely on friendlies until the final squad is named . Some certainties are already beginning to take shape in Carlo Ancelotti's mind, as he has secured key players for the World Cup.





Ancelotti on Vini Jr's place at the World Cup: "If he's okay, yes"


VINICIUS JR. AND RODRYGO WITH ASSURED SPOT


In an interview with ESPN, the Italian coach didn't hesitate when talking about the Real Madrid duo: "A guaranteed spot? If he's healthy, yes ( Vini will go to the World Cup). He has to be at his best. (Rodrygo) too . If he's at his best, Rodrygo is a very good player. You can't talk to me about Rodrygo and Vini. I won Champions Leagues with them," Ancelotti stated.

STÊVÃO GAINS SPACE

Another name that stands out is Estêvão, formerly of Palmeiras and now at Chelsea. The coach highlighted the young man's personality and his quick adaptation to the Premier League: "I really like Estêvão, he has character, and he's started well. Not only for this World Cup, but he will be very important for the future of the national team, " he assessed.

THE ENDRICK CASE

Endrick, however, is experiencing a different scenario. Ancelotti knows the striker well from his Real Madrid days, but admits that the fierce competition has hindered his development: "Well, Endrick is like Estêvão. He's a great talent. I think Estêvão was lucky. The problem with young players who go to Europe is that they have a leading role here, but not much of a leading role there . I coached Endrick for a year and really liked him as a person, as a professional," he explained.

WHAT'S AHEAD

Until the final call-up, the team will play six friendlies. The first two will be played in October in Asia:

  • South Korea vs. Brazil – October 10, 8 a.m. (Brasília time)
  • Japan vs Brazil – October 14th, at 7:30 am (Brasília time)
