It is the first step in the relationship between Guarda Desportiva FC and Corinthians. vote of confidence from the entire structure of Corinthians in our club and we hope that, in the future, more clubs will be able to trust our technical teams to train athletes who, sometimes, are not being used or have fewer minutes of game in their clubs and see in Guarda a good prospect”, said Chaves.
The leader also spoke about the issue of buying Heitor Casagrande outright. “It will depend on several factors: on performance, perhaps also on the athlete’s desire to continue in the Guard and financial issues. Soon you will see what can happen. I understand the issue, due to the value, but it is an issue that will be analyzed in due course”, commented.
