This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
Players need protection, they need the salaries of all employees to be paid, because this affects people.
I can support myself even with my salary delayed. But there are players coming up from the youth team who are struggling, families who are struggling. I have lived through this.
At every club I have been at in this situation [fighting against relegation], the leadership always protected the players, gave everything to protect us. Here at Corinthians I don’t see any protection.
Our group is very good and we will get the results. We will unite and if we have to die together, we will all die together, but that won’t happen.
