He made comparative remarks involving the rival club Corinthians and the neighborhoods of Itaquera and Paraisópolis, suggesting that a lack of glamour would lead him to support Corinthians and reside in Itaquera.

Sadi also faced criticism for comments regarding the club's political structure, specifically referencing people from Paraisópolis. Following a backlash on social media, Sadi released a video apology, denying that he is elitist or intended to disparage others, describing himself instead as a 'simple worker'.
