Corinthians vice-president calls fan a "mug" after criticism | OneFootball

The vice-president of Corinthians, Armando Mendonça, argued with fans on social media this Christmas Thursday. In one of the messages, the official complained about criticism and even called a user a “fool”.

The argument took place in the comments of a post where the vice-president was celebrating the Copa do Brasil title. In the text, Armando stated that he is the target of a “massacre” that “arose from a fragile, unfair, and convenient assumption that harsh words said in a broader context were directed at him.”

The vice-president's statement refers to a speech by Memphis Depay in the Maracanã locker room after the final against Vasco. The Dutch player criticized the leak of details of his contract with Corinthians. Some people believe that the statement was directed at Armando.

In a comment, a fan asked the vice-president to leave the club. He retorted: “Why? I removed the president who was stealing, gave you a Copa do Brasil and you still complain?“.
