In a terrible phase of the season, Corinthians, despite being alive in all the competitions they compete in, find themselves in a dangerous situation in the Brasileirão. Fans of the São Paulo team are worried because of the match against Flamengo this Sunday (1) in the Brazilian Championship. The commentator and idol of São Paulo, Neto, is one of those who did not spare words and sees a red-and-black victory.
On his program “Os Donos da Bola”, on Band, “Craque” Neto stated that the lineup that is being speculated for Corinthians to face Flamengo is to 'take five', and also points out that there is only one way for coach Ramón Díaz's team to overcome Mengão.
“For me , he has to play 4-4-2, but he (Ramón Díaz) is fearful. I'll give the team: Hugo Souza, Fagner, André Ramalho, Cacá, Matheus Bidu; Ryan, Martínez, Rodrigo Garro, Talles Magno; Yuri Alberto and Giovane. But he doesn't go like that because he's fearful. It will take four, five”, said Neto.
The black and white idol stated that he does not like the selection of Corinthians coach, Ramón Díaz, due to the possibility of Argentinian take to the field against Flamengo with a lineup focused on the defensive system. Timão needs to win the game to get closer to leaving the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship.
With the return of defender Cacá to the starting lineup, the coach must opt for a lineup with three in the role, which has been his favorite, when he has the trio formed by André Ramalho, Félix Torres and Cacá at his disposal. In addition to the three defenders, midfielders Martínez and Raniele should be the starters and, including the full-backs/wingers, complete a team with 7 players focused on the defensive system as starters.
In case of defeat, Corinthians becomes even more complicated and is "sunk" in the relegation zone, the black and white's direct opponents have fewer games than the São Paulo team. Flamengo, having won the three points, provisionally takes third place with 47 points, being just one point behind second-placed Fortaleza and three behind leader Botafogo.

At the time, Flamengospent 4.5 million dollars plus taxes (25%) to make the hiring. This value corresponds to R$25 million, an unrealistic amount for signing athletes in current football, especially when it comes to the current best in the world.
