– It will be a paradigm. It will change the structure of football with the new name. It will surely be another new monetary boom in football clubs. Not just in Corinthians. We will be examples again.

– We had big problems, difficult sagas, we were 23 years without titles. They made fun that we didn’t have a passport. We won the Libertadores, the World Cup said “it was, it wasn’t” and we won the second World Cup. There was no CT, we did CT. There was no base CT, we are finishing the base CT. Thank God and with the strength of the couple, we have names.

We have had good and bad times. One thing that no one can deny: I always fought and fought for Corinthians and the fans. We are more than 35 million. I want to thank the fans, on their behalf, we are doing something that they were charging us for. Better things will come, playing with dignity and contesting titles – said Andrés.
