Willian Capita, Alessandro Nunes, and now Vilson Menezes . Among the country's most successful clubs, with four Brazilian titles won during this century, Corinthians is betting on former players as football manager board member also responsible for the hiring and negotiation of athletes,

I reproach Vilson for having held a position at Corinthians because for me it is not the case. But I do not judge the guy, I do not even have that right! My Timon recalls the pbadage of Corinthians' player Vilson and explains why, his choice as Alessandro's successor is far from surprising, at least according to who is ahead of the football department of ################################################################################ 39; Alvinegro.

Vilson Xavier de Menezes Júnior was hired in early 2016 after defending Chapecoense. He came to Timão, on loan from SEV Hortolândia, a club from inside São Paulo, linked to businessman Fernando Garcia and who had his economic rights.
Despite the support of Tite, the Corinthian coach of the time, Vilson did and the coaches who went through the technical command of the team during this year. In July, however, the management of Timão decided to acquire the definitive defender, holding 50% of the rights for an amount of R $ 500,000.
Controversy with Marciel
One of the main curiosities regarding the pbadage of the defender for Corinthians was held in October 2016 during a training session in the CT. Vilson took a finish behind the wheel Marciel, did not like and punched the face of the cast member, who squatted with his hands. Shortly after the incident, the two men apologized, which helped to ease the mood during the balloon activity. Vilson was publicly criticized by Fábio Carille, who said the club did not accept such behavior and attitude. Subsequently, the athlete himself posted a video on social networks in which he apologized to Marciel and Corinthians for the attack.
Surgeries and the fight for the return
The long period of absence of lawns began in February 2017, during the friendly meeting with the Railroad which had served as casting. From there until the end of 2018, Vilson would undergo two left knee surgeries and could not return to the field officially, which he missed from the successes of the 2017 Brasileirão and the 2017-2018 national championship.
In total, there were only 23 games played by beque with the alvinegra shirt, with only one goal scored, in the 3-0 win over the valid sport by the 2016 Brazilian Championship. [19659004] Friendship with Cbadio

Even without acting, Vilson played a fundamental role in the return on Cássio, idol and biggest name of the current group of Corinthians players. They approached just as the guardian fell from production and lost the rightholder role to rival Walter.
At the invitation of the defender, Cbadio went to an evangelical church and changed his behavior, which helped him to recover. his position and regain the status of "untouchable" to Timão, as he himself explained in a recent interview granted to the portal GloboEsporte.com :
"Vilson (He helped me a lot.) He and his wife, Fabi, have a very good friendship, we started to talk, I did not have to, he made an invitation, we started to attending (at church) and we felt very happy there … I've already respected Vilson a lot, but I respect him a lot because he was always on my side, a nice guy.The whole group has the greatest respect for him ", he synthesized the jersey 12.
Up to the goal that he won !

In 2018, Vilson was not forgotten by his team mates. The proof is the celebration of Marquinhos Gabriel when he scored the goal on the Chapecoense in the Arena Condá, a duel against Brasileirão. The midfielder rushed to the substitutes' bench and hugged the defender, who returned to concentration after months of absence.
Exemplary Position
Although the episode of aggression against Marciel is obvious, Vilson's posture and dedication on a daily basis in computed tomography, mainly during the months of treatment, was seen as an example by the board of directors and the technical commission. The ex-athlete's relationship with the players also allowed him to receive a chance from Andrés, Duílio and Associate Director, Jorge Kalil, another board member.
A role different from that of Sheik
collectively, Duilio even announced that Vilson and Emerson Sheik would share the tasks previously badigned to Alessandro. It will not be very good: the first is indeed the new football manager; already Sheik who also retired at the end of 2018, badumes the role of coordinator created earlier this year.
