CHAMPION OF THE CENTENARIES

Corinthians was always a club marked by great conquests, mainly in soccer. So, even today, the club is respected and accepted by its opponents as the Champion of Centenaries, a honor conquered by merit and not for favor. In 1922, Centenary of the Brazil's Independence, the club won the São Paulo Championship defeating 2-0 Paulistano in the final game. América, that won the Rio de Janeiro Championship in the same year, also wanted the honor to be called the Champion of the Centenary and proposed a duel to Corinthians. Result: Corinthians, the champion of the champions of the centenary, 2-0 América.

The glory became stronger 32 years later, when Corinthians, proving its vocation to big deeds, conquered also the São Paulo Championship in 1954, year of the fourth centenary of the foundation of São Paulo city. (...)1 x I against Palmeiras, with Luizinho and Nei goals. The team entered in history with this line-up: Gilmar, Homero and Alan; Idário, Goiano and Roberto; Cláudio, Luizinho, Baltazar, Rafael and Simão. The coach was the ever remembered Osvaldo Brandão, who later led the club to another historical conquest (the São Paulo Championship in 1977).
