IN ENGLISH, by Gemini AI:

During the series “The Whistle Mafia,” shown on Sportv and available on Globoplay, former referee Edilson Pereira de Carvalho said:

“I refereed in Série A, Libertadores, and Paulista. Why were only the 2005 Série A games annulled? Why not the Paulista? I made a lot more money in the Paulista than in the Brasileiro (…) I changed the 2005 Brazilian champion. If it weren’t for the Whistle Mafia, Inter would certainly have been the champion.”

Given this, Internacional fans are using social media to pressure the “Colorado” board to take legal action, questioning Corinthians’ title and claiming the honor* for the Gauchos.

At the time, the issue of match-fixing caused a lot of controversy. There were matches in which, visibly, nothing was wrong, although there was a question of which ones should or should not be annulled – and whether all of them should be replayed because the doubt about their integrity persisted. But we cannot forget: Zveiter’s decision to annul the matches was live for all of Brazil, when he was questioned to exhaustion by journalist Milton Neves on TV Bandeirantes. The STJD president at the time “beat his chest” and said he would make the decision to invalidate those games.

After 20 years, would anyone stir this “hornet’s nest” again? Would Inter dare to take legal action? Would they succeed or would they be mocked?

We’ll wait and see. In football, anything can happen.

*Note: Colorado is the nickname for the Internacional club and its fans. Gaucho refers to people from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, where the club is based.
