Acting away from home, Corinthians overcame Atlético-MG in the round of the Brasileirão, but Luxemburgo was quite irritated with the crowd
On the night of last Saturday, 08, the Corinthians entered the field and faced the Atlético-MG acting outside the home. And despite the complicated phase on the field, the team from São Paulo won with a goal from Roger Guedes and won by 1 to 0. The triumph placed Timão with 15 points in the table and a little further from the relegation zone, in 14th place.
Despite the victory, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo vented about recent fan protests. This week, the defender Gil he was even insulted and charged at the hotel where the team was staying. Not accepting the episode, Luxa shot at the crowd and lamented the bad weather experienced by the players on a daily basis.
“It’s really bad to be in a hotel concentration and feel like you’re under house arrest. You can’t go down to the hall, take an elevator, you go to reception and are verbally attacked. You arrive in Santos and cannot enter the hotel. Where are we going to stop? If the authorities don’t make a decision to stop this, when someone dies, when something happens, they will talk’ snapped Lux.
“I think the Public Ministry, the Federal Government, CBF, the federations have to take a stand. I cannot feel my players without being able to move around the hotel, without being able to take a lift, without being able to meet the fans who want to take a picture with us. This is crossing the line. The fans have every right to protest, but that’s our place of concentration, for us to prepare“.
Someone needs to take a strong stand, I didn’t commit any crimes, they’re just football players. This happens not only at Corinthians, but in Brazilian football“, completed the Corinthians coach.
“That’s how it is in Brazilian football and it’s no different for me. I’ve only been here for two months doing a renewal process. We are changing the tire while the car is moving. (…) What bothers me is this house arrest and not being able to walk in the hotel. This is what we have today as long as the authorities do not take action.“, concluded Luxemburgo in a press conference.
