Corinthians is facing a severe crisis, having lost their last six competitive matches. They were recently eliminated from the Copa Libertadores due to a missed penalty by Memphis Depay. The club is now at risk of relegation, being only three points away from the relegation line. However, the players, led by Memphis, have successfully lobbied the board to allow trainer Fernando Diniz to stay. This was achieved through the efforts of Memphis, along with midfielders Rodrigo Garro and defender Gustavo Henrique, who acted as intermediaries between the players and the board. The board ultimately agreed to keep Diniz in charge, understanding the players' arguments.
