Paulista, a lifelong fan of Corinthians, signed with the club in January this year. He has been vocal about the difficulties faced by young players due to delayed salary payments. "I can take care of myself for a while, but there are players who can't," he said. "I earned very little when I started. If I were in that situation, my family might go hungry." Paulista has offered to help players in need of financial assistance.
The situation has left Paulista emotional, with him breaking down in tears during the interview. "I'm really suffering under this," he said. "It's not about the money, it's about my love for Corinthians. I try my best on the pitch, but sometimes it's not enough." Paulista has called for action from the club's leadership, demanding that salaries be paid and workers be compensated.
