Palmeiras apologizes to Tite after being spat on by rival fan

Last Sunday (21) the third round of the Brazilian Championship took place between Palmeiras and Flamengo. It was a very competitive and difficult game for the two considered the best teams in Brazil today. What was supposed to be a spectacle ended up being an unpleasant situation for coach Tite, who was the target of spit from the Palmeiras fans.

The action

In an interview given by coach Tite, he claims to have been spat on, and claimed complete embarrassment when he had to clean himself up and asked for a legal response from the rival team, incompatible with the values ​​of the current management, which values ​​respect for its opponents so much. “My activity as a coach, I know is quite exposed and I have to put up with all the insults that come from outside. And it's not from Palmeiras fans. It belongs to some people who may not be in a position to know that there are a lot of children to educate. Offenses are part of the game, but spitting is very ugly. Having to clean my head and my clothes is ugly. I was here at Palmeiras and it's a stage that I'm very proud of. Our work saved Palmeiras from relegation. I have this engraved in my memory. I respect the steps. People think that anything goes in football. It's not like this.”. He said after suffering disrespect from fans.
