O Corinthians entra em campo neste sábado para pôr fim a 76 dias sem vencer no Brasileirão. Às 18h30 de Brasília, o time de Clarence Seedorf visita o Vasco em São Januário, pela 32ª rodada.
São nove rodadas de jejum. O último triunfo saiu em 9 de agosto: 2 a 0 no Red Bull Bragantino, em Bragança Paulista. Depois vieram oito derrotas e um empate, e o Timão chegou à beira da zona de rebaixamento — 33 pontos, um a mais que o Internacional, que abre o Z-4.
No primeiro turno, com Fernando Diniz no comando, a reação nasceu justamente diante do Vasco. Da 13ª rodada, quando enfrentou o time carioca, até a 19ª, diante do Remo, o Corinthians fez 15 pontos e a melhor campanha do trecho, ao lado do Palmeiras. Na sequência, bateu Vasco, São Paulo, Atlético-MG, Grêmio e Remo, e perdeu para Mirassol e Botafogo.
A oscilação fica clara na comparação entre turnos. Nas 12 rodadas iniciais foram 11 pontos e a quinta pior campanha. Da 20ª até a derrota para o Vitória, na última segunda-feira, apenas um ponto: a pior campanha entre os 20 clubes.
Em meio à crise dentro e fora de campo, o Timão precisa de 12 pontos nas últimas sete rodadas para chegar aos 45, marca que costuma garantir a permanência. O caminho: Vasco (fora, 32ª), Mirassol (casa, 33ª), São Paulo (fora, 34ª), Botafogo (casa, 35ª), Atlético-MG (fora, 36ª), Grêmio (casa, 37ª) e Remo (fora, 38ª).
