With the tie, the Corinthians lost the Brasileirão lead to their opponents Palmeiras, who defeated Santos 1-0.
The Corinthians ’equalizer was scored in the 38th minute of the second period, and it was clear from the Premiere broadcast that the fans present at the Neo Quimica Arena were excited and“ raised their voices ”at the stadium. From there came Casagrande’s statement that angered many Corinthians:
“The goal is to please the Corinthian fans who have hitherto been quiet, asleep.”
Via twitter, many fans criticized Casagrande’s statement, with saying they could no longer accept the former striker commenting on club games:
. The Corinthians want to have Casagrande in our team’s games. The world gets better when he just comments on open TV games.
. The Corinthians want to have Casagrande in our team’s games. The world gets better when he just comments on open TV games.
