Dream of every Corinthian, the Arena under construction in the district of Itaquera may suffer a severe blow in the coming days. Without the funding promised by BNDES and the region's improvement package, Corinthians can paralyze the site's works. The possibility was raised by Andrés Sanchez, during the Round Table program, of TV Gazeta.
‘Everyone knows that Corinthians depended on BNDES funding and on the guarantee of improvement investments for the east. If they don't leave in the next few weeks, we'll stop the construction. Neither the funding nor the package came out. If he does not leave in a month, the work stops’, revealed the former president of Timão.
Without the funding of the BNDES, the Alvinegro do Parque São Jorge seeks other means to proceed with the work. ‘If it weren’t for FIFA measures, the Corinthians Stadium would already be ready with the money that has been invested so far. The Corinthians spent 30 million, Odebrecht is making loans and the Corinthians is responsible for the interest," Andrés explained.
In relation to the future of the stadium, Andrés also revealed that he fights against other leaders because of bars that must be placed between the stands and the lawn. ‘In the stadium of the Corinthians, they are wanting to put grid and I am not saying. The player must know that he cannot enter the field, he must be aware of it. If I put grill, the guy will force to push and take’, warned.
