8-0 fallout: Vitória ultras storm training, call players cowards

Vitória Training Center Had a ‘Visit’ This Wednesday (27th)

The ruthless thrashing inflicted by Flamengo on Vitória, by 8-0, put a stop to the crisis in the Bahia team, which fired coach Fábio Carille. However, the ‘wounds’ from the match are still open. This Wednesday (27th), two days after the rout at Maracanã, an organized supporters group from the Salvador club invaded the Training Center to protest.

Discurso do presidente de torcida organizada do Vitória para os jogadores no CT após derrota por 8 a 0 para o Flamengo: “Vocês foram frouxos e covardes. Vocês tomaram 8 a 0 e não tiveram coragem nem de dar porrada.” “A partir de hoje não vai ser mais aceito esse tipo de

One of the leaders of the organized group, Rodrigo Chagas, asked to speak and made harsh criticisms of the team. The fan used words like “cowards”, “weaklings” and “didn’t even have the courage to fight back”. Despite the aggressive tone of the speech, there was no violence.

WHAT WAS THE SPEECH OF THE VITÓRIA ORGANIZED SUPPORTERS LEADER?

“I am here on behalf of thousands of fans who are ashamed. On behalf of a century-old institution whose history you have stained. One thing is incompetence, but cowardice is unacceptable. Unlike you, who have a wonderful life here, who earn R$200,000 and R$300,000, always get paid on time, your salaries have never been late here. There are fans out there who go hungry just to be at the stadium.”

“There have been three draws here at Barradão conceding goals in stoppage time. We thought it was incompetence, we were holding on, asking for patience. But after the Flamengo game, it became very clear it’s not incompetence. It’s not even lack of skill, it’s cowardice. You were weak, you’re cowards with us. This is unacceptable. You ruin our lives. You should be ashamed. You took an 8-0 beating and didn’t even have the courage to fight back. Not even in a pickup game would I accept conceding three or four goals to anyone. If I can’t win with skill, I’ll go in hard, but I won’t lose. How can you accept that? In that game, you committed six fouls. What was your interest in winning? You dragged our name through the mud, you’ll go down in history with the biggest defeat in the Championship. Now we have this stain forever, and that’s unacceptable.”

“You were cowards and weaklings, not for lack of talent. You should have fought, like everyone does. You accepted it with your arms crossed. We’ll do our part, but if you want to mess with our lives, we’ll mess with yours too. From today on, this kind of behavior won’t be accepted anymore. Cowardice won’t be tolerated, playing with our feelings won’t be tolerated. I came here to give the message: whether it’s the hard way or the easy way, Vitória will not go down. We’ll do our part, whatever it takes. There’s nothing more to say. I hope you understand what you’ve done and start honoring our jersey. The eliminations were disgraceful, without honor or dignity, always with shame involved.”

HOW WAS THE MATCH?

In short, with just three minutes into the match, Flamengo was already winning 2-0, practically settling the score. Vitória, on the other hand, barely crossed midfield. In the first half, the Red and Black scored a third. However, the show was completed in the second half, when Mengão scored five more goals.

WHAT ARE THE REALITIES FOR FLAMENGO AND VITÓRIA?

In the relegation zone, Vitória will try to recover next Sunday (31st), against Atlético-MG, at Barradão. On the same day, Flamengo seeks another victory at Maracanã, this time against Grêmio, for the 22nd round of the 2025 Brasileirão.
