The number 22 still overcame scares and had the “champion’s luck”. He saw the team from Rio Grande do Norte hit the post twice, once from close range, and conceded a second goal in the final stage that was disallowed by VAR for offside at the edge of the line.
Carlos Miguel reached his tenth victory in 14 games as a starter at Alvinegro in São Paulo — recording a success rate of 71.4%. With him in the starting eleven, the Parque São Jorge club was only defeated once in three seasons — by Ponte Preta, this year.
The archer assumed the position in the previous game, in the triumph against Fluminensehas been responding on the field and helped Corinthians win two consecutive matches for the second time in 2024.
After scoring the goal, he said that he looks up to Cássio, discussed having overtaken him and thanked him. Carlos Miguel recognized the size of his idol and highlighted, both in the post-game interview and in the mixed zone, that he still has a lot to learn from him. The number 12 went to the bench after his strong outburst, which gave the then immediate reserve an opportunity.
I’m very grateful to Cássio, if I’m here it’s because he helped me a lot. I learned a lot and I will still learn a lot. I just thank you for the support. He worked a lot, it’s no wonder he’s been at the club for 12 years, he’s the biggest idol. Being able to play is happiness, thanks to the work of our goalkeepers and trainers. Carlos Miguel, on the field exit
I look up to Cássio a lot. Overthrowing is not a very nice word to use with a goalkeeper the size of Cássio. I chose to be here, I could have gone to other clubs at the beginning, I didn’t come for the money, I knew the work, the guy I would have with me, which is Cássio. I managed to develop myself even more. I’m happy to be doing everything I dreamed of and fought for. Carlos Miguel, in the mixed zone
