Coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo expressed his concern during this Wednesday’s press conference regarding Corinthians’ trip to Peru. After all, the team has a ticket booked for Lima next Tuesday, and the country recently declared a health emergency due to an outbreak of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
“I want to get away from the subject a little and say that there was no concern. Peru is a brother. I’ve been there several times, very nice. But regardless of the country, an outbreak is an outbreak. Any country with that, if there is a decree, it has to be respected. We are not guinea pigs. They canceled the trip of the press professionals. Who is responsible for us traveling there and becoming contaminated? Who allowed the game? There is a federal decree from the Ministry of Health and this needs to be respected. It’s a very serious problem”, said the commander of Timão.
Luxemburgo, expressing his dissatisfaction with the lack of accountability, underscored the imminent danger that players and coaching staff will face when traveling to Peru. Faced with the outbreak and the declaration of a health emergency, the coach suggested that the possibility of changing the country that will host the decisive game be considered.
“We don’t want to stop playing, but we need to be responsible so as not to put our health at risk. The press will not be. Why not change country? It’s no joke. Why does football always need something serious to take more responsibility for decisions? If I don’t take care of my health, I will be criticized. Do I have to expose myself and the team? They need responsibility. It takes coherence and balance. They are human beings. Nice if my wife becomes a widow. Who will be responsible? Here, it has nothing to do with the country”, he concluded.
The game between Corinthians and Universitário, valid for the Copa Sudamericana playoff, is scheduled to take place next Tuesday, July 11, in Lima, Peru. The Corinthian team enters this match with a 1-0 advantage on the scoreboard, having the advantage of a draw in the second match.
What is Guillain-Barré syndrome?
Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare neurological disease of autoimmune origin that affects the peripheral nerves of the nervous system. It occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy nerves, resulting in inflammation and damage to those nerves.
Initial symptoms can include muscle weakness, tingling, numbness and, in some cases, severe pain. As the disease progresses, muscle weakness can get worse and affect voluntary movements, which can lead to temporary or permanent paralysis.
