After another defeat, Corinthians ultras at CT: “You sacked the boss” | OneFootball

Members of Gaviões da Fiel, the main organized supporters’ group of Corinthians, confronted players from the black-and-white squad as they were leaving CT Dr. Joaquim Grava this Monday. The fans are unhappy with the team’s poor results, which is now enduring a nine-game winless streak.

In footage captured by Central do Timão, fans were seen insulting and demanding answers from some players who were leaving the training center after Monday’s session. Raniele, Vitinho, Kaio César and Charles were among the players who stopped their cars and listened to the supporters’ complaints.

“You guys got the coach fired, man. What coach do you want, brother?” asked Alê Oz, president of Gaviões da Fiel, referring to the dismissal of Dorival Júnior, who was fired last Sunday.

Last Sunday, the Fiel Torcida had already organized a strong protest in the stands at Neo Química Arena after the defeat to Internacional. The black-and-white team was targeted with chants such as: “Bunch of cu***, you have to be a man to play for Coringão,” “either you play for love or you play in fear,” and “shame, shameless team.”

As Corinthians’ main organized supporters’ group, Gaviões da Fiel also protested as the team bus left Neo Química Arena. The uniformed group’s main target was the players, not coach Dorival Júnior, who left the club after the match.

“We spoke to the players once, twice, three, four times. Clearly these guys got the coach fired. To us, their lack of effort is out in the open. Whoever wants to leave can leave, no problem at all. Let it be just the fans and those who want to represent the badge. We’re not going to accept it anymore. We’ve run out of patience. Nobody wants to take a hard look at themselves, they’re mocking the Fiel Torcida. We’re paying a lot for tickets. We’re done talking, for real,” Alê said last Sunday in an interview with Rádio Energia 97.

Gaviões was also at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava last Thursday, right after the 3-1 loss to Fluminense at the Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship. The organized supporters spoke with now former coach Dorival Júnior and every player in the squad, as well as president Osmar Stabile and director Marcelo Paz.

Fans demand answers at Parque São Jorge

Part of the fan base also confronted the board led by Osmar Stabile at Parque São Jorge. Two supporters held a banner in front of the gates of the club’s social headquarters that read: “The club bleeds because of ‘its’ directors: Osmar, a new Dualib era.”

The banner refers to the administration of former president Alberto Dualib, who led the club from 1993 to 2007, the year of relegation. That same year, he resigned during an impeachment process in the club’s Deliberative Council. Investigated and charged by the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office, he also had his name removed from the list of club members.

The former president, who died in 2021, faced accusations of money laundering, criminal conspiracy, fraud and issuing fake invoices. In 2013, he was convicted for diverting R$ 1.4 million from Corinthians’ funds.
