What works for and against Antonio Oliveira’s work under pressure at Corinthians | Corinth

Without winning six matches and in the relegation zone in the Brazilian championship Corinth He evaluates the work of coach Antonio Oliveira, who is approaching the completion of five months.

Since taking command CorinthAntonio Oliveira played 24 matches, in which he achieved 12 wins, six draws, and six defeats. Usage rate is 58%.

The match against Atletico PR on Sunday, at the Liga Arena, is crucial to determining whether the Portuguese will continue his work at the club or not. After the match against Foracao, the Corinth He will face Cuiabá (home) and Palmeiras (away).

Hey ge I found that Antonio Oliveira’s work is evaluated in two ways internally. One group believes that the coach is not responsible for the team’s current situation, while another group believes that the performance could be better.

Which weighs in Antonio’s favor

President Augusto Melo himself says that Antonio Oliveira needs reinforcements to be more demanding of his performance. The departures of Cassio and Paulinho, as well as the near losses of Carlos Miguel, Raul Gustavo and Fausto Vera, are used as examples of the unexpected problems the coach faced in a short space of time.

The call-ups of Felix Torres and Romero have also been factored into the balance of obstacles facing Antonio Oliveira. Therefore, the coach can survive at least until the transfer window.

The Black and White Department also sees Antonio as having the ability to work with young people in youth groups. For example, Breno Bidón gained space with the Portuguese. In recent matches, 15 players out of 24 who were called up for matches trained at the club.

Internally, Antonio is a good team manager. The coach recovered some athletes, such as Yuri Alberto, and was able to work in the locker room amid the political crisis that has afflicted the club in recent months. Antonio has dealt well with the loss of a major sponsor and the departure of leaders and idols behind the scenes.

Another point taken into consideration is the technician’s desire to complete the work. Antonio had proposals to leave the team Corinth In recent weeks, but he chose to stay.

What weighs against Antonio

The most sensitive point that generates noise in the relationship between Antonio and Corinth It is the team’s performance, especially in the Brazilian championship. The six matches without a win and relegation to the relegation zone caused internal upset.

The absence of development prospects is another issue that raises doubts about the possibility of the coach’s work bearing fruit in the future. Therefore, one winger believes that the delay in determining whether Antonio will stay or not could be decisive for the club to understand which battle will be in the competition: against relegation, mid-table, or the first team.

One of the reasons for the internal discomfort is Antonio’s exhaustion regarding the problems the club is facing off the field. The coach spoke in several interviews about “obtaining peace” so that he could develop his work, in a clear message about how the political crisis interferes in his daily life.

In recent weeks, Antonio has raised a tone about the need for reinforcements and how the coach has publicly called on the management for the players’ arrival. The Portuguese wants more options and at least six signings in the window that opens on July 10.

These factors could shorten Antonio’s path at the helm of the team Corinth.
