Only from Brazil do stories like this come. Fans of Santos, Vasco da Gama and Bahia, a trio fighting to stay in the final round of the Brasileirão, are trying to buy a lucky charm that will have ‘prevented’ Ponte Preta from being relegated from Serie B. It is true that this story It has unusual contours, but the superstition is easily explained. After a negative series of 10 games that seemed to condemn Ponte Preta to relegation, a fan found, near Moisés Lucarelli, the club’s stadium, a horse shoe with 7 holes and went viral the prophecy that the club would make a point for each hole in the last three rounds and that this way he would be able to save himself, then throwing the object onto a stadium railing. What happened? Exactly. Ponte Preta collected seven points, the result of two wins and a draw, and avoided relegation to Serie C. When the objective was achieved, the superstitious fan returned to the place to save the horseshoe so he could use it on future occasions. Now, in a similar scenario of despair are the fans of the three Brasileirão teams, who have been sending messages on social media to the aforementioned Ponte Preta supporter in an attempt to acquire the lucky horseshoe. “I’m not going to sell or lend it. The clubs will suffer,” said Renato Pacheco, responsible for finding the amulet.
It is in the early hours of Thursday, from 00:30 (mainland Portugal time), that everything will be decided. Bahia remains in the red zone of the table with 41 points, one behind Vasco da Gama and two behind Santos. One of these teams will join Goiás, Coritiba and América MG on the relegation train. The fight for the title also takes place at the same time, with Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras only needing one point to celebrate their second title.
