Giuliano has mentioned more than once having chosen the Corinthians by a personal will, without necessarily thinking about other issues. The year 2023 has shown that the number 20, in fact, seems to be in the right place for his career. Currently, he is one of the main players in the squad.
The midfielder was the first reinforcement of the presidential era of Duilio Monteiro Alves, in 2021, and arrived as a starter. Status that he came to sustain for some time, but since then, he lived almost everything at the club until he reached the present, having become a key player in the current tactical scheme.
Willing to “embrace” the Corinthians as a whole, Giuliano knows that the Corinthians universe is bigger than just football played on the pitch. below the ge shows three attitudes of the midfielder that prove how he became a real fan.
The “father” of the boys
Giuliano has acted as a “coach” to some of the younger cast members. For midfielder Roni, with whom he has formed a partnership in the midfield sector, he is almost like a second father: he points the way, gives advice, shares everyday life, offering time, experience and wisdom.
“I told him to kick ass. Did you see the carts he gave away? I keep saying that he is learning. He’s a sensational guy, the one I’ll take most for life. It’s like he was a father to me. Good guy, sensational – praised Roni.
Roni and Giuliano consolidate themselves as the defensive midfielder duo of Corinthians
– He’s a mentor, he’s been through everything I’m going through. He shows me ways. There is no shortcut. I will take it for life – he added.
On social networks, he usually encourages boys in the comments of photos. It also values them in interviews. Other experienced players, such as Cássio and Renato Augusto, do the same.
The club’s “promoter”
Also on social media, Giuliano shows that he doesn’t just care about the men’s team, which he defends on the field. The midfielder is a great supporter of women’s football and also demonstrates his knowledge of the club’s history, by reposting content that mentions, for example, the idol Sócrates.
When the women play, Giuliano usually gives pitacos and vibrates with the goals.
And, like all the fans of the Corinthianscelebrates the many titles of the Brabas in the modality.
no vanity
Giuliano is not seen as a “complaining” athlete, he knows how to wait for his space without stopping working, according to reports from people around the CT Joaquim Grava to the ge. An impression that is shared by a good part of the fans: Giuliano is a team player.
He proved this, for example, by giving away the number 11 shirt, delivered upon his arrival in 2021, to the Paraguayan Romero. He gave up the number and adopted the number 20 to make the newcomer to Alvinegro happy to find the shirt with which he had already won titles at Timão.
He also proved it when he agreed to change his position and ended up gaining a place in the starting lineup: from an advanced midfielder, he became a second midfielder in Fernando Lázaro’s tactical scheme and only gained space in the final rounds of the group stage of the Campeonato Paulista .
With the injury of Renato Augusto, he became a key player in the tactical scheme for this possibility both of playing a little more advanced, and with the chance to remain as a second defensive midfielder for the team. Changing his positioning can determine who will be the substitute for the number 8 shirt.
Renato is dealing with a strain on his right knee and is unable to play in the Paulistão quarterfinals this Sunday, against Ituano, at 4 pm, at the Neo Química Arena. Midfielder Paulinho is the favorite to take over the vacancy, forming the midfielder with Giuliano.
