“Let me make an observation. My activity as a coach, I know it is quite exposed, and I have to put up with all the possible offenses that come from outside. And it’s not from the Palmeiras fans. They are from some people who maybe don’t have the condition to know that there are a lot of kids that can be educated. The insults are part of the game, but spitting is really ugly, man. Having to clean my head and my clothes is ugly, man”, he said.
Tite still recalled his time at Palmeiras, when he helped the club escape relegation in the 2006 Brasileirão, and also assistant César Sampaio, who made history. He highlighted that the message is not for all Palmeiras fans.
“It’s just for these people, it’s not for the Palmeiras fans. I was here at Palmeiras and I have a stage that I’m very proud of. So I have respect for the stages. But these people are not worthy of being representatives of a series of boys. We were very well received, a lot of kids who look up to César. He’s an idol here at Palmeiras, he’s a monster, but if not, we think that anything goes in football. It’s not like that”, he added.
After a goalless draw with Palmeiras, in the Brasileirão, Flamengo returns to the field on Wednesday (24), for the Libertadores. Rubro-Negro faces BolÃvar at the altitude of La Paz, at 9:30 pm (BrasÃlia time).
