Rodrigo Garro has once again become Corinthiansâ main reference point in midfield.
With the arrival of coach Fernando Diniz, the Argentine playmaker has regained his starting spot and top form, matching last yearâs numbers in considerably less time.
The âDiniz effectâ in numbers
Under the new coaching staff, the No. 8âs performances have been impressive.
In just five matches under Diniz (he was rested only for the clash against Barra-SC), Garro has already provided four assists.
That means, on average, one key pass every 103 minutes on the pitch.
The latest proof of this fine form came last Sunday in the Brazilian Championship.
In the win over Vasco at Neo QuĂmica Arena, the Argentine caught the opposing defense off guard with a brilliant backheel pass to Matheus Bidu, who controlled it, turned, and scored the decisive goal.
Improvement and resilience this season
Since the start of 2026, Garro has already recorded seven assists and one goal in 23 matches.
These numbers show a remarkable recovery compared to 2025, a year marked by knee injuries, personal problems, and inconsistent performances.
To put the improvement into perspective, the midfielder has already matched his total number of assists from all of last season, but needed 15 fewer matches to reach that mark.
His current form is very close to his best spell at the club, in 2024, when he was essential in steering TimĂŁo away from relegation and securing a Libertadores spot.
