Corinthians ultras visit training ground to demand more from the squad | OneFootball

Early Friday afternoon (13th), leaders of the main Corinthians organized supporter groups visited the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center to demand accountability from the squad for the string of negative results and the recent poor performance of the team led by Dorival Jr.

The group of about 15 fans was allowed to enter the training center after the team’s practice, as they prepare for the derby against Santos, away from home, for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship. The demands had already started at the Neo Química Arena, after the 2-0 defeat to Coritiba last Wednesday (11th), when chants of “honor the shirt, Corinthians doesn’t need slackers” and “either play for love or play out of fear” echoed through the People’s House.

Last Thursday (12th), president Osmar Stabile had already met at Parque São Jorge with leaders of the club’s main organized supporter groups, alongside members of the Financial Restructuring Committee, with the aim of presenting the club’s economic restructuring plan, as well as the budget forecast for the 2026 season.

This type of demand at Timão’s training center hadn’t happened since September 2025, when Corinthians was defeated by Sport, then bottom of the Brazilian Championship. This time, the team’s recent poor performance, marked by elimination from the Paulistão and a home defeat to Coritiba after more than ten days without matches, motivated the fans to demand accountability from the squad before the Alvinegro Derby.

With only seven points, Corinthians has dropped to tenth place in the Brasileirão and hasn’t won in four rounds. Timão returns to the field this Sunday (15th), at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), when they face Santos at Vila Belmiro.
