Editorial | Seven years of Central do Timão | OneFootball

When Central do Timão came to life, no one was thinking about where we would be seven years later.

In truth, as happens with most projects born out of passion, the concern was much simpler: to follow Corinthians, seek out information, tell stories, and deliver work to the fans that was done with seriousness.

Back then, there was no big structure. There was determination. There was the desire to be wherever the news was and to represent a fanbase that had always wanted to be treated with respect.

Over these seven years, Corinthians has taken us to many places. We have been at airports, training centers, stadiums, arenas, and press conferences. We have crossed Brazil countless times, followed competitions across South America, and lived experiences that seemed impossible when it all began.

Those who only follow the finished content can hardly imagine what goes on behind each piece of coverage. There are hours on the road, sleepless nights, the rush to confirm information, last-minute changes of plans, and a dedication that rarely appears on screen. Some of the toughest battles happened far from the cameras and social media. In many moments, the challenge was simply to keep going.

But that has always been Central do Timão’s commitment.

To do the job as responsibly as possible and to respect the intelligence of those on the other side.

Along this journey, we have had the privilege of following moments that marked the club’s recent history, but also of being part of many people’s paths. Professionals came through Central, developed their talents, built their careers, and moved on to new paths. Seeing that growth happen is also part of what we celebrate today.

Time has brought experience, maturity, and ever greater responsibility. The audience has grown, the structure has evolved, and the reach of our work has expanded far beyond what we imagined at the beginning. Even so, some things remain exactly as they were back then.

We still believe that the fans deserve serious information.

We still defend the freedom to praise Corinthians when the club gets it right and to criticize when it gets it wrong.

We still understand that the club is bigger than any executive, political group, or passing moment.

Perhaps that is precisely what has allowed Central to make it this far.

There has never been any magic formula. What there has been is daily work, consistency, and a genuine connection with a fanbase that lives Corinthians intensely every single day.

That is why this anniversary is not ours alone.

It also belongs to those who visit the website, watch the shows, share the content, send messages, offer criticism, suggest story ideas, and follow Central from the beginning or just since yesterday.

No media outlet grows on its own.

Every story built around Corinthians depends on the people who choose to dedicate part of their time to following this work.

Today we celebrate seven years with pride in the path we have taken, but also with the awareness that there is still a lot of history left to tell.

Thank you to everyone who has been and continues to be part of this journey.

We move forward, following Corinthians wherever it may be, with the same passion that brought us here and with the responsibility that the Fiel deserves.

May many more chapters of this story come, always alongside the Fiel and Coringão.
