President Duilio Monteiro Alves spoke at the event, once again congratulating Corinthians and thanking idols, athletes from the current squad and fans.

“First place, it’s a pleasure to be here. I’d like to start by congratulating Corinthians, the people’s club, which was built by the people. A beautiful story, very proud of those present here, of the athletes who are now part of the squad and those who are will come,” he commented.

“Corinthians thanks their idols, today with Wladimir, Basilio and Ronaldo, with the presence of athletes who passed by and wore our shirt. Thanks mainly to the faithful fans, for what they represent, for everything they do for this club, for the effort that it does to accompany ours”, he added.

Among those honored, 11 were chosen by virtual crowd vote, one for each position in the field. The remaining 100 were under the responsibility of a jury made up of journalists, historians and Corinthians experts.
