New Corinthians head coach Clarence Seedorf has been forced to postpone his touchline bow after encountering bureaucratic hurdles ahead of Monday's domestic clash with Vitoria. The Dutch tactician cannot take his place in the Neo Quimica Arena dugout after club officials missed the registration deadline to clear his paperwork.
Corinthians forward Memphis Depay will miss Clarence Seedorf's managerial debut against Vitoria following a costly booking during Sunday's derby thrashing by Palmeiras. The Dutch talisman picked up his third yellow card of the season, deepening the relegation misery for the Brazilian giants as they fight to retain their top-flight status.
Neymar, who is nursing another injury at present, was brutally trolled by a domestic rival in the Brazilian top-flight while watching Santos suffer a potentially damaging defeat to Vitoria. Matheuzinho registered the only goal of the game in that contest, and took to breaking out Neymar’s iconic goal celebration after hitting the net. Brazil’s all-time leading scorer was left less than impressed in the crowd.
