Cássio responds about the climate in the Corinthians locker room and makes a decision on the matter

O Corinthians has been going through a delicate moment in the season. The lack of results and good performance on the field began to affect the club’s internal climate.
After the draw with Grêmio last Thursday nightgoalkeeper Cássio, team captain, chose not to comment on the behind-the-scenes of the black and white locker room.

“I don’t have to say anything about what happens in the locker room, whether it’s true or not. For my part, as captain, I never and will not. Sometimes I am accused of many things, Cássio this, that. I have nothing to say with all due respect, I respect you a lot, but I’m not going to talk about this type of subject because it’s not my place to talk.. I’m a club employee and I’m there to help and I dedicate myself 100% to helping Corinthians”, said the archer in an interview in the mixed zone.

It all started with friction between Vanderlei Luxemburgo and Bruno Mazziotti, who is head of the Health and Performance Center at Corinthians.
The two professionals do not have a good relationship and recently argued within CT Joaquim Gravawhere the reason was the presence of Renato Augusto in the game against Goiás.

The internal climate started to be affected and then it was the players’ turn to show dissatisfaction.
O My Timon found that some athletes are very uncomfortable with the organization of the teamand that the biggest point is the lack of defensive consistency. Corinthians has suffered several shots and, even against Grêmio, was leaked four times.

The friction behind the scenes comes at a crucial moment for Corinthians in the season. The black and white team is just three points away from the relegation zone of Brazilian championship and shares its attention with the Copa Sudamericana, which is in the semi-finals. Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s atmosphere with the fans is also not pleasant,
since Fiel has been putting a lot of pressure on the coach
.
