Rains of Coins, Disputes and Roads: The Luxembourgian Classics by Corinthians | Corinthians

Vanderlei will drive Luxemburgo CorinthiansThis Sunday, in his first classic since returning to the club after two decades. At 4 p.m., Timão will face Sao Paulo in a bid to preserve the taboo at the New Quimeca Arena and ensure victory for the first coach, who has so far suffered two defeats and a draw.

In his other two passes through CorinthiansLuxembourg has accumulated several stories over its 21 matches against opponents. There were strikes, the removal of the team’s star, coin tosses and a lot of controversy.

It was against Santos the best performance, the biggest defeat (5-0, in the first phase of Paulista 2001) as well as some of the most memorable episodes.

One of the most important events occurred in the 2001 Paulistão semi-finals, when goalkeeper Mauricio and midfielder Ricardinho played with an electronic point in their ears, which allowed them to receive instructions in real time from the coach.

Luxa had a relationship with Santos, after he managed the team in 1997, and was greeted with hostility when he captained the team. Corinthians At Vila Belmiro.

In both 1998 and 2001 he was heard shouting “mercenaries” and was the target of coins thrown from the stands by Santos.

Facing Sunday’s opponent, Sao Paulo, Luxemburgo put in a reasonable performance and lost the 1998 Paulistao final.

He was one of the most prominent coaches in the Brazilian league that year, winning 2 to 1, but for a reason that had nothing to do with what happened on the field. Hours before the derby, he removed Marcelino Carioca, the team’s top scorer. Pé de Anjo would return to the group after almost three weeks and play an important role in winning the national title.

Already in the derbies, Luxemburgo did better when he was in Alviverde’s team, including being champions of São Paulo in 1993 and 2020 and the Brazilian in 1994. Corinthians.

However, he keeps good memories of classic defender Timão. The last derby match he played ended in a 4-2 win, on Wednesday afternoon, at Morumbi Stadium.

Luxembourg is still looking for its first victory in this comeback Corinthians. So far, there have been two defeats and a draw. Sunday’s classic is still worth keeping taboo in Itaquera, where Sao Paulo has never won. There have been 16 majestos in the circuit, with 10 wins for Timao and six draws.
