As a Corinthians supporter I only have to say: “Thanks for all! Thanks for the titles, thanks for the goals you scored, all of them, but mainly those scored agains Santos, São Paulo, Palmeiras and Fluminense. Those were the most beautiful, the most important. Thanks! You´ll be always in our hearts!”
