The president of Corinthians, Roberto de Andrade, showed irritation when being questioned if the club could punish Emerson Sheik for the expulsion in defeat by 2 to 0 for São Paulo, on Wednesday, for Copa Libertadores. T-shirt 11 took a red card at 18 minutes of the first half while wearing quarterback Rafael Tolói.
- Punishment? Punishment for what? He was working – he shouted the Alvinegro agent on the way out of the locker room.
Then Andrade was asked again what he would do with Sheik because of the episode on Majestic.
– From the exit of the locker room to the bus, several have asked me if I'm going to punish Sheik, send Sheik away, if I'm not going to renew with him more because of it, if I'm going to do anything... There's nothing to do. It was a game move – he stressed, saying he considered Sandro Meira Ricci's arbitration "normal".
Technician Tite, in a press conference, stated that the issue is internal and would not expose what he thinks about the player's attitude.
– There are other aspects to consider and you (journalists) will not take things from me of an internal nature, for the experience I have, for the respect I have. Twister, know you have responsibility, but locker room problems are solved inside the locker room – said Coach Alvinegro.
This season, Sheik arrived late for a workout and delayed his recovery from injury to the right knee, which caused him to be taken from the game against San Lorenzo (ARG), by Liberadores, in Buenos Aires. Then, he was again criticized by taking a yellow card before the Black Bridge in the quarterfinals of Paulistan, and being suspended for the classic against Palmeiras by the semifinals. Now, this Wednesday, he was expelled and will be embezzled in the duel before Guarani (PAR), by the final eighties of the Liberators.
– I've got plenty of time, enough credibility with the Corinthian fan, to say no one gets their hands on anyone. But I'm not putting stuff out of the locker room. There was no simulation of him in the bid (against the Black Bridge). It's my interpretation. That other fact, of course we don't want to have expelled players, just like I did when we won on other occasions. I have enough luggage not to put out my problems, but discipline I value too much. The team makes mistakes, is here to resume, correct, but I will not expose in public. I'm not going to put "Oh, we lost because of that"... I won't! – concluded the Corinthian.
