São Paulo fans protest against board and squad after loss to Palmeiras | OneFootball

A group of São Paulo supporters protested in front of Morumbis after the 3-2 defeat to Palmeiras, this Sunday, for the Brazilian Championship. The main targets were the players and also members of the board.

According to Lance!, the fans displayed banners calling for the departure of president Julio Casares and football director Carlos Belmonte. In addition, they called the squad "chokers" and demanded passion on the field.

The Military Police had to be called and set up a barricade with iron bars to prevent São Paulo fans from blocking the exit and entry of cars.

This is the second protest held by São Paulo's fans in the same week. Last Monday, before the match against Ceará, the first after being eliminated by LDU in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, São Paulo fans also criticized the management.

Among the main dissatisfactions of the fans are the assembly of the squad, the sale of players revealed in the youth categories for values below the expected, and the increase in debts, despite the austerity speech preached by Casares and his directors.

Standings situation

With the defeat in the Choque-Rei, São Paulo remains stuck in eighth position, with the same 38 points. Hernán Crespo's team could have entered the G6 in case of victory.
