Sadness, anger and disappointment. This was how it was on Sunday for São Paulo fans, after their team was eliminated from the 2024 Paulista Championship at the hands of Novorizontino, a Brazilian soccer Serie B team.
It was a 1-1 draw and a 3-4 defeat in a penalty shootout. Thus, the fans picked on coach Thiago Carpini, at whom they shouted “donkey.” But they are also disappointed with James Rodríguez.
And the fans got involved with Carpini to ask him to bring James on early in the second half, but the coach made the change late: the Colombian came on in the 79th minute and, although he showed that he is different and took the team on his shoulders, He lacked time to help his team win.
One fan even scolded Carpini at the end of the game: “Make James play! Do you have a personal problem with James? Donkey, donkey, donkey! Donkey a thousand times, really donkey! Losing against Novorizontino with 55 thousand people on MorumBIS. MorumBIS!”

At the end of the match, and with the certainty that everything was decided by penalties, the fans expected the classification to come from the hands of the referents. For example, Lucas Moura took the first charge and got it right; Pablo Maia also did it.
However, James Rodríguez did not appear, did not want to collect or was not on the list. The truth is that there were seven charges by the Tricolor team and the Colombian did not raise his hand to ask for his turn in the definition.
Thus, the fans exploded against James; also partisan media and journalists who are aware of current events in São Paulo.
‘Gestão Tricolor’, for example, ‘fired strong ammunition’ against James: “Did you have little playing time? Yes. But NOTHING justifies that a World Cup player, who was already 10 at Real Madrid, does not have the personality to take a penalty. Making mistakes happens, only those who take risks make mistakes, but not even trying? PITY!”.
Journalist Gabriel Sá also commented on James’ absence in the penalty shootout: “He entered the game late. The team created more with him. In the same coin, I understand the accusation of “lack of confidence”, but for me a guy of James’ caliber needs to take a penalty in a decision. You’ve already made mistakes and he’s part of the game. But I wouldn’t hide James in the collections. Never”.
On social networks, the fans of the São Paulo team showed no mercy towards James:
