Gaviões hang protest banners at Corinthians training ground | OneFootball

Members of Gaviões da Fiel, the main organized supporters' group of Corinthians, hung protest banners at the CT Dr. Joaquim Grava on Tuesday. The fans are unhappy with the team’s poor results, which has now gone nine games without a win.

“Lazy squad,” “patience is over,” “players are indifferent,” and “play with love or with fear” were the phrases hung on the wall.

Gaviões has been organizing a series of protests in recent days. On Monday, members of the organized group were at the training center and confronted the players.

“You 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 staged a strong protest in the stands at Neo Química Arena after the loss to Internacional. The black-and-white team was targeted with chants such as: “Bunch of a**holes, you have to be a man to play for Coringão,” “either you play with love or you play with fear,” and “shame, shameless team.”

Corinthians’ main organized supporters' group 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.

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 group spoke with now former coach Dorival Júnior and all the squad’s players, as well as president Osmar Stabile and director Marcelo Paz.

Fans pressure the board at Parque São Jorge

Part of the fan base also put pressure on the board led by Osmar Stabile at Parque São Jorge. Two fans held a banner in front of the gates of the club’s social headquarters with the following message: “The club is bleeding because of its ‘own’ 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. In the 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 membership rolls.

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