After training-ground talks, ultras leader reveals demands at São Paulo | OneFootball

Monday (20) at São Paulo was eventful, with a visit from a small group of members of Torcida Independente, the club’s main organized supporters’ group, in the morning at the Barra Funda training center.

The supporters first stopped president Harry Massis in his car at the entrance and especially demanded the departure of executive Rui Costa. Then, with Rafinha’s authorization, they spoke with him and all the first-team players inside the training center in Barra Funda.

The conversation lasted about 40 minutes, and the sides made a ‘pact’ for greater commitment from the players and improved performances from the team on the pitch. The tone of the conversation was the same as the one used with president Massis, in a way absolving coach Roger of blame and reinforcing the demand for executive Rui Costa to leave the club.

Later in the afternoon, Henrique Gomes, known as Baby, the main leader of Independente, confirmed the pact that had been made and the focus of the supporters’ demands in a post on his social media.

Read it in full:

“LAST CALL: Pact agreed until the World Cup break! It is essential that we remain in all three competitions and fighting for something more!

The work has to be done during this one month to recover players and seek targeted signings so that we can finish 2026 with dignity! The supporter will always be right! And when there is pressure from the supporters, it is because they believe and trust that together we can change history.

Before asking for the dismissal of the coach, Roger Machado, we have to go after the real culprits!!! Every year it’s the same story, the coach-grinding machine shields unqualified directors who stain our history!!! Out, Rui Costa – you are the real culprit!!!

We hope Massis takes action and shows that he has also chosen to save the club from the hands of these draculas who have sucked our club dry. Tomorrow, once again, we will do our part, and we hope that you in the numbered seats, the terraces, the reserved seats, and the boxes do yours as well.
