There are absurdities that we sometimes think are over in football, but in the end, they are there, to our disappointment. In this sense, Coach Titereported that he was hit by spit from Palmeiras fans. After the game against Alviverde for the Brasileirão, the coach took advantage of the press conference space to vent about what had happened.

After questions from journalists, Tite asked to remain in the press room and criticized the stance of some Palmeiras fans. The coach even reported that at one point he had to clean his head due to spit hitting him.

“I know my activity as a coach is quite exposed. I have to put up with all the insults that come from outside and it's not from Palmeiras fans, they come from some people”, began the coach.

“The insults are from the game, but spitting is very ugly. Having to stop and clear my head is really ugly. I was here, I have a very beautiful stage and I am proud here. Our work here was worthy, it saved Palmeiras from relegation at that stage. I know that, I have it engraved in my memory”, continued the red-black commander.

“But this person, they are not worthy to be representatives of a series of boys who were there next door. A lot of people think that anything goes in football, but that's not the case”, he concluded.
