Breaking: São Paulo fans to protest at training ground after derby loss | OneFootball

A group of São Paulo fans, identified as “Brabos,” who do not see themselves as an organized supporters’ group but rather as a collective of tricolor fans, went to the entrance of the Barra Funda training center late Sunday night (10) to protest after the 3-2 loss to Corinthians in a derby played hours earlier in Itaquera, for the Brazilian Championship.

According to what AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR found out, the group, made up of around ten fans, was protesting peacefully when they were approached by the club’s security staff. The tricolor fans eventually dispersed when a Military Police Riot Battalion vehicle arrived at the scene. There is no information on whether they had any contact with players or members of the coaching staff or board. No one was detained.

In short, according to the report, the demand was for the dismissal of directors Rui Costa and Rafinha, as well as head coach Roger Machado.

“We went to protest in a legitimate way, outraged by the team’s cowardly attitude on the field. But when the players were leaving, we were caught off guard by a bunch of security guards trying to stop the demonstration, acting like police and creating an unnecessary atmosphere of tension, even starting a commotion,” the collective posted on its social media pages.

“They want to silence the fans while inside the club no one shows up to take responsibility for the disaster São Paulo has become. The fans are tired of humiliation, of lack of fight, of complacent players, and of negligent directors. The pressure will continue to exist because unlike many people in there, the fans care about the club. And you can be sure: as long as they keep destroying São Paulo, they will have no peace,” the post continues.

There is no information about the participation of São Paulo’s organized supporters’ groups. In fact, none of them made any kind of post after the defeat in the derby. Part of that stance has an explanation: most of the leadership is still traveling back on the roads from the midweek match against O’Higgins in Chile, for the Copa Sudamericana.

Henrique Gomes, known as Baby, the main leader of Independente, the largest of São Paulo’s organized supporters’ groups, who has already publicly spoken in favor of Roger Machado staying on as head coach, posted on Sunday morning that the supporters’ caravan had just passed through Porto Alegre (RS). Their arrival in the São Paulo capital is expected this Monday (11).
