The two security guards who protected the entrance of the press parking lot at CT Joaquim Grava had no way to contain the mass invasion provided by the Corinthians fans to the site on Saturday morning. If at first only ten fans shouted slogans, then two buses arrived at the scene and 100 people, according to the Military Police, began tearing the screens off.
‘It was too fast. As one tore from one side, another tore the screen from another. They didn't even call the hedge, they jumped and jumped. It was only time to call the police,’ said a club employee, who chose not to identify himself.
The fans entered the CT looking for the players, but they had not yet left for the field and remained in a reserved location inside. Meanwhile, chaos was done with the Corinthians employees. According to one of them, three people had their phones stolen and a hotel receptionist would have been assaulted. Doctor Joaquim Grava had a bad sudden.
Press professionals also suffered threats from Corinthians fans, who said they would break cameras if they were filmed. While the Corinthians stretched tracks on the TC playing field, journalists were placed in a glass room so they would not be assaulted. Club officials did the same, awaiting the arrival of the Military Police. The police arrived at the club at approximately 10:30, but only pacified the environment.
Family members of players who attended training showed concern about the danger that their children and brothers were in. According to Sônio, the father of side William Andrade, some players were frightened that they had their cars broken down in the club parking lot. Still according to him, the rearview mirror of Romatinho's car was damaged.
Since they didn't know whose cars they were, the fans didn't do any more damage. The father of the side reserve, curiously, feared that his son's vehicle would be destroyed, since it has the same color as Alexandre Pato, one of the main targets of the crowd.
One of the tracks extended in the CT called ‘R Player Duck$ 40 million, but with 40 cent football’. Other demonstrations were against Emerson Sheik, ‘outside Sheik’, and Douglas, ‘either plays for love or plays for terror’.
According to club staff, glass was broken at Corinthians' gym and fans jumped into the pool. For about half an hour, they occupied the CT, threatened club professionals and only left on their own.
