The coach was caught insulting the fans at the end of the match.
Summary
Dorival Júnior spoke about the argument with a supporter after the draw against Vasco in the final of the Brazilian Cup, justifying that he was reacting to recurring provocations and emphasizing that “no one has the blood of a cockroach”.
Dorival Júnior spoke about his argument with a Corinthians fan after the goalless draw against Vasco da Gama in the first match of the Brazilian Cup final, Wednesday evening 17, at the Neo Química Arena. On the way to the locker room, the coach was filmed by the broadcast camera insulting a person who was in the stadium stands.
In a press conference after the match, Commander Timão explained that this attitude was a response to a problem that had existed for some time. According to the coach, the boy in question usually exaggerates when he criticizes the players and the committee.
“It’s very simple. I have the greatest respect for the fans and I understand all the reactions, at all times and in all circumstances. Now this boy often does the same thing, both with the players and with the coaches,” said the coach.
Although he didn’t mention what was said by the fan, Dorival pointed out the difficulty of ignoring the situation.
“Today he needed to hear an answer from someone, that’s all. But he is the same as always, who has been working in this sector for a long time. He has the right to say what he wants. Now, by saying the things he said, by offending, by being offensive as he was, he will listen, because no one has the blood of a cockroach,” he added.
In addition to Dorival’s argument with the fan, Timão’s match was marked by other tense moments. The main confusion concerned Yuri Alberto and Matheuzinho, who had to be separated by Hugo Souza. Memphis Depay also had a moment of revolt during his replacement.
From now on, Timão will have four days to regain his senses and aim for his fourth title in the Brazilian Cup. The return match of the final is scheduled for next Sunday, the 21st, at 6 p.m., at the Maracanã.
