Dorival rages at Corinthians fan after draw, Memphis storms off | OneFootball

Coach Dorival Júnior had a disagreement with a Corinthians fan after the first game of the Copa do Brasil final against Vasco. The match at Neo Química Arena ended in a 0-0 draw.

Right after the final whistle, the coach headed towards the tunnel leading to the locker rooms and was caught on camera insulting a Corinthians fan. He explained the incident in a press conference.

“I have the utmost respect for the fans. I understand any reaction. This guy does the same thing frequently, both with players and the coaching staff. Today he needed to hear it. He can say whatever he wants, but being offensive as he was, he will hear it. No one has ice in their veins,” said the coach.

Later, the number 10 was seen looking downcast on the bench.
