Clarence Seedorf alterou a rotina de treinamentos do Corinthians, e o método vem gerando avaliações divergentes nos bastidores. O técnico holandês passou a parar as atividades com frequência para corrigir posicionamentos e orientar jogador por jogador, na tentativa de melhorar o rendimento no Brasileirão.
As pausas aparecem sobretudo nos trabalhos táticos e nos exercícios em campo reduzido. Sempre que um erro de posicionamento aparece, ou uma movimentação merece elogio, o treino para e ele explica o que quer.
A ideia é corrigir na hora, para que o erro não se repita. Parte do elenco avalia que a interrupção constante atrapalha o ritmo; a comissão técnica sustenta que os ajustes são essenciais para a evolução coletiva.
Somadas às orientações gerais, as conversas individuais ganharam espaço no CT Joaquim Grava. O jovem atacante Gui Negão recebeu cobranças específicas, e Rodrigo Garro foi orientado sobre posicionamento e movimentação.
O trabalho também passou pelo lado psicológico. Uma das medidas foi mudar o que passa nas televisões internas do CT: os aparelhos agora exibem conquistas, gols e momentos marcantes da história alvinegra, com o objetivo de reforçar a confiança do grupo.
Outra novidade é a presença mais ativa da psicóloga Anahy Couto, que passou a acompanhar atividades em campo e a colaborar com avaliações comportamentais no período de pressão.
O objetivo segue o mesmo: encerrar a série sem vitórias e sair da zona de rebaixamento, o grande temor da torcida.
