São Paulo, Brazil – E be like say the atmosphere for Neo Química Arena dey ginger as Corinthians sabi play ball! Last Sunday, dem show better skill when dem beat Grêmio 2-0. Na this match wey hapun for the 31st round of Brasileirão 2025, Timão don dey find their groove back!
As dem win, e mean say Corinthians don climb higher for table, and fans dey shine their eye well-well as dem prepare to face Red Bull Bragantino next. Na wa o! If all dem players fit carry this hotness go Bragantino, e go be another sweet win.
But e no finish for there! Dorival Jr., the coach, don get news wey go sweet him belle – dem go bring back André Luiz to join the squad before year end! This one fit spice things up more, as André dey recover from him ankle injury and don dey do training with ball for CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. E no dey small thing o! (Talk am say injuries no fit hold Corinthians back!)
With this development, e mean say only one player dey for the sickbay, and na Vitinho. Dorival dey fresh as him get almost the full squad available to jampack and fight for dem positions. “Dis one wey I never see since I come join dis team – to get all my players, dem fit ready to play, no be small!” him talk during one press conference.
Now make we check the league table: Corinthians dey sit down for 10th position with 42 points, dem dey six points behind Botafogo wey dey run for 6th spot. Na time to hustle hard so dem fit reach higher level, because if dem slack, dem fit find demself as ‘also-ran’ no be so!
But wait, as things dey hot for the squad, rumors don waka come say Tchoca fit leave the team by the end of this year. E don dey hear beta offers from clubs wey dey outside Brazil. As regular player, tori don rise say him contract dey expire at the end of 2026, and he never gree talk with management about extension. (Omo! Make we hope sey dem no go let am waka!)
Na serious matter be this o, and fans go need to keep their finger crossed. If Tchoca gree waka out, na wah! He dey earn about R$35K per month, and some people no go gree chill when dem dey earn small though dem dey shine for field.
The transfer window don close since September 2, so any changes go fit happen only next year when the new season don start. As October dey approach, e go be like say Timão go get fewer matches to play, so they better use this time to gear up!
So, my people, make we sit down, sip our palm wine, and enjoy how this football season dey unfold. Make we see how dem go perform against Ceará. Dem never reach the end of their season, and e go dey interesting to see how Dem manage players wey dey suspended and sick – it be one kind test for Dorival Jr. and him team. Na wah!
