No tactical analysis or comment on Corinthians' debut at the Libertadors Cup of America on Wednesday night. The subject that took care of the locker rooms of the stadium Jesús Bermudez was the death of a San José fan of just 14 years, victim of an injury caused by a flare, who would have been shot by Timão fans after the goal scored by Guerrero at the beginning of the game.
Present at the scene, Corinthians football manager witnessed the incident and gave details of the tragic event in the city of Oruro. The leader revealed that the revolt that took over the fans after the confusion made it impossible for the delegation to continue in the stadium to follow the second half of the game.
– It went right in front of us, I don't know what you call it, and it fell within 50 feet of us. I couldn't visualize what happened, but I saw people's despair. I saw people pressing us right away. I couldn't see the game and I had to leave, not just me and the athletes too – I said.
Very excited during the press conference as well as technical Tite, who even declared that he would exchange his world title for the life of the dead boy on Wednesday, Edu did not contain the tears.

– We can no longer talk about football today after such a tragedy – the manager of Timão summed up.
– I have an eight-year-old son who goes to the games at Pacaembu, sits with me next to the rival crowd. This could have happened to any other boy. I see the very sad players, the Tite unable to speak, and try to express myself in the best possible way on behalf of the Corinthians – completed.
