Multi-champion for Corinthians, former fullback Fábio Santos commented on the club's situation this season. In an interview with the portal Meu Timão, the current ESPN channels commentator analyzed the difficulties faced by the team, especially in continental competitions, and highlighted the need for internal reorganization.

"I think it has become increasingly evident in recent years that organization makes all the difference. It's worth us emphasizing, but until we organize externally, things really won't happen on the field. Corinthians has a good team, a high payroll, has fans, has everything for things to happen. But, unfortunately, in recent years this has not happened." he said during a Conmebol event at Eldorado Shopping, in São Paulo

"I think the club needs to take a few steps back to reorganize and thus compete in the Libertadores, because that's what the Corinthians, the club and the institution deserve. Every year to be in the Libertadores, one after the other, only then will it win more than one", he continued.

Despite winning the state championship earlier this year, Corinthians suffered early eliminations in the Libertadores and the South American Cup. The imbalance remained in the other competitions: the team reached the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup, but is only in 14th place in the Brazilian Championship, three points above the relegation zone.

In addition to the sporting problems, Corinthians also faces strong political instability. Next Monday, the 25th, there will be indirect elections for the club's presidency, after the definitive impeachment of Augusto Melo, on the 9th. The current interim president Osmar Stabile, Antonio Roque Citadini and André Castro are running for the position. Fábio Santos regretted the scenario and hopes that the club will reorganize broadly.

"I see it with great sadness, actually. We know the power that Corinthians has as a club. It only hasn't gone under yet because of its fans, who are what move everything and deserve better: a better team, better management and more organization. I think every Corinthians fan needs to unite at this moment, demanding those who need to be demanded.", said the former player.

"We hope that capable people will take over Corinthians and get the club out of this sequence of bad news, of headlines involving problems off the field. The ideal is that we only talk about football, because Corinthians has a huge greatness and enough fans for this to happen. From my side now, as a commentator, I just hope that prepared people can reorganize everything and make the club shine again", Fábio concluded.
