Milly Lacombe: Corinthians women are 'immune to the crisis' and teach the men a lesson

Uma vaga na final da Libertadores feminina, garantida com a vitória por 2 a 1 sobre o Independiente Santa Fe na altitude, virou ponto de partida para a coluna de Milly Lacombe no Fim de Papo: na visão dela, as Brabas são imunes à crise que cerca o clube e dão aula ao time masculino.

O desgaste foi visível. No apito final da semifinal, as jogadoras desabaram no gramado.

"Quando o jogo acabou, todo mundo desabou em campo. Então você sabe que elas estavam dando tudo o que elas tinham", disse a colunista.

"Essas mulheres corintianas parecem ser imunes à crise. Elas continuam fazendo o que parecia impossível. O time feminino do Corinthians não fez um grande ano e, ainda assim, está na final da Libertadores."

Segundo Milly, o contraste com o ambiente vivido no futebol masculino deveria empurrar o clube para outra rota, porque repetir as mesmas práticas só afunda mais o buraco.

"Não é possível que os homens continuem tentando usar os mesmos que criaram a crise para sair da crise", afirmou.

Ela também pôs na conta a diferença de dinheiro entre os elencos. "O salário desse time feminino não é igual ao do Memphis, que ganha mais do que essa equipe feminina inteira, ninguém duvida disso. E, ainda assim, essas mulheres vão lá e honram a camisa, não desistem de honrá-la."
