The main leader of Independente, the largest organized fan group of São Paulo, Henrique Gomes, known as Baby, used his social media to make an appeal to the tricolores who will be at Morumbi on Thursday (15) for the match against São Bernardo, in the Paulista Championship.

According to him, it is not the time to "give up on São Paulo" and therefore it is essential that those who attend the game encourage the players.

"We will do our part on Thursday. We will not give up on SPFC. The strength comes from the stands, together we are stronger. Corruption and a lot of trickery from those we once believed could change history. The protest continues in favor of the removal of president Julio Casares. Let him answer the accusations – without directly interfering on the field. Those who come next Thursday, come to cheer. Support and encourage our athletes. FANS + PLAYERS united," he wrote.

AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR found out that in a meeting with the organized group's leaders, some of the main names of the São Paulo squad managed to reach an agreement where the demands would be focused on Casares and the rest of the board.

The meeting took place outside the club's premises and was conducted in secrecy. On the occasion, the fans expressed their fear of relegation already in the Paulista Championship.

The players reassured the organized group, promised commitment in the State Championship, but emphasized that their image rights and bonuses are overdue.
