Corinthians fans protest, demand answers after another Arena loss | OneFootball

Sunday night was not a good one for Corinthians. Timão was beaten 1-0 by Internacional at Neo Química Arena in the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship. Unhappy, the Fiel Torcida once again protested and booed the team.

Part of the crowd began chanting demands as early as halftime, although still timidly. “F***, we miss it when Corinthians used to play with heart,” they sang.

After the final whistle, the fans again voiced their frustration with the squad’s performance, this time more aggressively. The black-and-white side was targeted with chants such as: “Bunch of a******, you’ve got to be a man to play for Coringão,” “Either you play for love or you play through fear,” and “Shame, shameless team.”

Corinthians’ main organized supporters’ group, Gaviões da Fiel, also protested as the team bus left Neo Química Arena.

It is worth remembering that Corinthians fans have been unhappy for quite some time with the team’s performances and the winless streak, which has now stretched to more games. After the loss to Coritiba, the fans had already protested and demanded more fight.

Then, after last week’s 3-1 defeat to Fluminense, the squad, board, and head coach Dorival Júnior were confronted by Gaviões da Fiel, which visited the CT Dr. Joaquim Grava training center last Thursday.

Corinthians now tries to pick up the pieces and returns to the pitch this Thursday, when it opens its Copa Libertadores campaign. Timão visits Platense-ARG at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital.

Standings situation

The result was terrible for Corinthians, which saw its winless streak grow to nine matches, with four losses and five draws in that span. Timão also dropped places in the table and moved closer to the relegation zone. The black-and-white team sits in 16th place with 10 points — two more than Chapecoense, which currently opens the bottom four.
