Corinthians fans celebrate club anniversary with English ‘brother’ in London | OneFootball

Throughout last Sunday, September 7, Corinthians fans played a friendly match with the legends of Corinthian Casuals, from England, a brother club of the Alvinegro, which is linked to the founding of the Parque São Jorge club on September 1, 1910. The match ended with a victory for the English by 4 x 2.

Three days later, Corinthians released the behind-the-scenes footage of the event on its official YouTube channel – Corinthians TV. The video begins by depicting the Corinthians fans' "warm-up" before the match in various parts of London. Members of Fiel Londres (England), Fiel Dublin (Ireland), and Fiel Kush (Sydney-Australia) attended the match.

After the match ended, the idol Jamie Byatt, a legend of Corinthian Casuals who was present at the friendly against Corinthians in 2015 at Neo Química Arena, spoke about the experience: “It's something special, it's cool, obviously, that they ask me to swap shirts and play for them. And it was the same thing, obviously, in Brazil, the same thing, you know, it's something very special and something I will never forget.”

“I like to watch Corinthians games from time to time, and I think it's nice to give back to the fans and go meet them, sometimes watch Corinthians games and celebrate with them”, he said. The historical connection between the two institutions is depicted in the documentary Brothers in Football – The Story of the Two Corinthians, directed by Chris Watney and produced in partnership with Jay Barrymore.

Chris, in turn, revealed: “I have a video of Sócrates from 1988 and he talks about it being a party, you know, like the two Corinthians together, embraced around the world, two hearts beating as one. This spirit of Corinthians together as brothers around the world, we have to keep it united.”

The video also includes testimonials from several Corinthians fans, including Léo, residing in Oceania, who went to England just to attend the match, and André Biassi, one of the members of Fiel Londres.
