Corinthians fans rally to support squad before Cruzeiro clash | OneFootball

The main organized supporters group of Corinthians, Gaviões da Fiel, has called on all fans to gather at the gates of CT Dr. Joaquim Grava next Tuesday, the day before the first leg against Cruzeiro in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. The aim of the supporters is to organize a beautiful celebration as an act of support for the squad before the decisive match.

On Tuesday, Corinthians will hold their final training session before the first match against Cruzeiro. The idea is for the fans to support and encourage the team as they leave on the bus heading to the airport, where the delegation will depart for Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.

“[The idea] is to put on that huge show of support for all the players, so they go in at 220 and understand the importance of this game for us in 2025,” said Alê Oz, president of Gaviões, in a video posted on the organized group’s social media.

The Corinthians supporters have already staged a similar event this season. Before the first leg of the Campeonato Paulista final, the Fiel held a party at the gates of the CT and followed the team bus on its way to Allianz Parque. The same scene was repeated before the first Derby in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

“They have to understand that this is the game of our lives. They have to go in with a lot of passion, with a lot of grit. So, we’ll do everything necessary to make them understand the importance of this match for all of us,” said the president of Gaviões.

“You can be sure, if we make that same connection between the players and the Fiel Torcida, no one can stop us. That’s the truth. That embarrassment that happened at Mineirão, I’m sure it won’t happen next time,” concluded Alê, referring to Corinthians’ 3-0 defeat to Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão.

The first leg of the Copa do Brasil is scheduled for this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mineirão. Corinthians released details about the ticket sales earlier this Saturday, and the Fiel Torcida should have access to around 3,200 tickets.
