3
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:38,351
Luan with the ball,
runs past Martinez,

4
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:42,647
passes the ball to Alecsandro,
back to Luan and he loses possession…

5
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:46,192
Salcedo is open,
the veteran Aguillar has the ball,

6
00:00:46,212 --> 00:00:50,113
now Arce, he pumps the ball into the box,

7
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:53,408
a header, an opportunity…

8
00:00:53,428 --> 00:00:55,785
The Mexican player falls down...

9
00:00:55,805 --> 00:00:59,914
The ref calls penalty and books Leo Silva!

10
00:00:59,934 --> 00:01:01,936
Oh my God...

11
00:01:04,773 --> 00:01:10,884
We're at 92" and
Tijuana has a penalty kick!

12
00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:13,740
Ronaldinho can’t believe it.

13
00:01:14,449 --> 00:01:17,223
Tardelli takes his hands to his head,

14
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:21,039
Cuca is devastated,
the fans kneel down.

15
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:27,087
The referee calls a penalty
at the 92nd minute.

16
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:31,237
Look, Oswaldo… it was the right call.

17
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:34,074
This is just terribly unfortunate...

18
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:36,785
Easy there, he still has to take it.
Now it's up to Victor.

19
00:01:36,805 --> 00:01:39,182
The penalty was given,
but he hasn't scored yet.

20
00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:44,584
Victor is a great goalkeeper.

21
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:48,046
He looks up to the sky,
may the Gods bless him.

22
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:51,049
May the big man in the sky bless him.

23
00:01:51,069 --> 00:01:54,010
It's your moment, Victor.
It's your moment.

24
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:57,555
The match is over after
this penalty. 92 minutes…

25
00:01:57,575 --> 00:01:59,557
Riascos has the ball, Oswaldo.

26
00:01:59,577 --> 00:02:02,268
And Pequetito, Atlético
are still unbeatable

27
00:02:02,288 --> 00:02:04,290
in their 34 home games this season.

28
00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:07,315
Riascos with the chance

29
00:02:07,335 --> 00:02:10,880
to seal an unprecedented
qualification for the Mexican club.

30
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:17,137
92 minutes and 50 seconds,
almost 93...

31
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,598
Tijuana has a penalty,
the game is tied at 1-1.

32
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:24,144
Patricio Polic blows the whistle,

33
00:02:24,394 --> 00:02:28,314
Riascos runs, he's
right-footed, he shoots…

34
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:38,376
Saved by Victor!

35
00:02:39,075 --> 00:02:41,786
Saved by Victor!

36
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,123
Saved by Victor!

37
00:02:45,331 --> 00:02:47,542
Saved by Victor!

38
00:02:47,917 --> 00:02:50,712
Saved by Victor!

39
00:02:51,087 --> 00:02:55,113
Goal! Goal!
Galo "Rooster" scores!

40
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:59,367
Victor, Victor, Victor!
It's a goal for Galo!

41
00:02:59,387 --> 00:03:01,035
Victor, Victor!

42
00:03:01,055 --> 00:03:03,454
Galo qualifies for the next round!

43
00:03:03,474 --> 00:03:06,374
Victor saves the penalty!
It's a goal!

44
00:03:06,394 --> 00:03:09,272
Victor scores the winner!

45
00:03:11,274 --> 00:03:13,673
STRIVE STRIVE STRIVE

46
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,051
<i>Strive to win
with all your heart and pride</i>

47
00:03:17,071 --> 00:03:22,869
<i>Clube Atlético Mineiro
Strong and fierce Rooster!</i>

48
00:03:33,546 --> 00:03:36,404
<i>Strive, strive, strive</i>

49
00:03:36,424 --> 00:03:39,866
<i>Strive to win with all
your heart and pride</i>

50
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:42,410
<i>Clube Atlético Mineiro</i>

51
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:45,391
<i>Strong and fierce Rooster!</i>

52
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:51,147
<i>Galo oh oh! Galo oh oh! Galo oh oh!</i>

53
00:03:57,153 --> 00:04:02,742
<i>Galo oh oh! Galo oh oh!</i>

54
00:04:05,203 --> 00:04:06,996
Good evening to all!

55
00:04:07,664 --> 00:04:11,105
We're in Goiânia,
celebrations all around,

56
00:04:11,125 --> 00:04:13,191
and in a few moments,
the decisive match

57
00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:15,735
for the Group 3 of the
Libertadores da América Cup,

58
00:04:15,755 --> 00:04:18,091
between Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro.

59
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:34,128
Atlético to the attack,

60
00:04:34,148 --> 00:04:36,109
a dangerous cross is in, Júnior…

61
00:04:38,027 --> 00:04:40,718
Toninho Cerezo gets the rebound,
hits it from far…

62
00:04:40,738 --> 00:04:43,616
It's the first shot,
the ball went flying over Raul's goal.

63
00:04:45,326 --> 00:04:47,433
Atlético works the ball into the box,

64
00:04:47,453 --> 00:04:49,185
an error, Vaguinho shoots…

65
00:04:49,205 --> 00:04:51,207
It explodes off Flamengo's defender!

66
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:54,899
Another good opportunity
for Atlético Mineiro,

67
00:04:54,919 --> 00:04:57,360
they're very attacking since the get-go.

68
00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:00,550
Flamengo had one good attack so far,
Atlético had three.

69
00:05:02,677 --> 00:05:03,825
Red card!

70
00:05:03,845 --> 00:05:07,140
Reinaldo was sent off
for the tackle on Zico!

71
00:05:08,683 --> 00:05:12,979
Red card, Reinaldo is sent off!

72
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:16,921
Atlético's players are outraged.

73
00:05:16,941 --> 00:05:21,509
If they keep complaining,
soon there'll be more red cards to come.

74
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:22,927
Reinaldo is off the match.

75
00:05:22,947 --> 00:05:26,409
Well, your take on that.
Telê Santana.

76
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:33,146
I find José Roberto
more nervous than the players,

77
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:36,524
when he should be
the calmest man on the pitch.

78
00:05:36,544 --> 00:05:43,676
And we'll see many fouls like this one
during the course of the game.

79
00:05:43,885 --> 00:05:47,201
Both teams will commit fouls like these,

80
00:05:47,221 --> 00:05:49,203
let's see if he upholds his standards.

81
00:05:49,223 --> 00:05:51,414
I believe he made a mistake,

82
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:54,103
and spoiled what has been
a great game so far.

83
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:59,130
Reinaldo doesn't want to talk.
Walked off the pitch in silence.

84
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:01,152
And very angry.

85
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:06,429
Atlético on the offence…
What about you, Gerson?

86
00:06:06,449 --> 00:06:09,057
Reinaldo is still on the pitch,
making gestures...

87
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:11,059
Gerson, your opinion
on the red card.

88
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:12,560
I agree with Telê.

89
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:15,750
I believe Wright jumped the gun there.

90
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,962
Another one!

91
00:06:18,983 --> 00:06:20,922
Another one! Another one!

92
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:23,174
Éder!

93
00:06:24,342 --> 00:06:25,615
Éder is sent off,

94
00:06:25,635 --> 00:06:28,910
and Atlético's coach is asked to
sack the team off the pitch.

95
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:34,060
Some members of Atlético's board
are rushing José Roberto Wright.

96
00:06:35,311 --> 00:06:38,252
Directors of Atlético
Mineiro on the pitch,

97
00:06:38,272 --> 00:06:45,530
all over José Roberto Wright,
at 34 minutes and 30 seconds.

98
00:06:46,697 --> 00:06:49,764
The South American confederation
will have a big problem.

99
00:06:49,784 --> 00:06:53,518
And Luciano, Chicão just informed me
that it was him who was sent off.

100
00:06:53,538 --> 00:06:56,499
And here he is,
clapping towards Flamengo's bench.

101
00:06:57,834 --> 00:06:59,961
He's laughing at Flamengo.

102
00:07:00,294 --> 00:07:02,213
Man, I hate Flamengo.

103
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:04,006
I hate Flamengo.

104
00:07:04,298 --> 00:07:05,988
It was my first reality check,

105
00:07:06,008 --> 00:07:08,010
as a child, in my life.

106
00:07:08,177 --> 00:07:10,910
It was as if I was informed that

107
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:15,435
men are motherfuckers
and God doesn't exist.

108
00:07:27,655 --> 00:07:31,075
<i>All Atlético Mineiro's subs
are sent off...</i>

109
00:07:31,325 --> 00:07:35,204
He ruined the one game
all Brazil wanted to watch.

110
00:07:35,663 --> 00:07:37,186
It was the great rematch.

111
00:07:37,206 --> 00:07:39,292
Two great teams.

112
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:41,252
Great teams.

113
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:44,839
And he didn't let us watch.

114
00:07:45,089 --> 00:07:46,966
There's no reasoning for it.

115
00:07:48,259 --> 00:07:49,594
No reason.

116
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:54,015
Five Galo players sent off,
in the same event.

117
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:56,058
“Ladies and gentlemen, the shame”.

118
00:07:56,726 --> 00:07:58,769
They were the two best
teams in the world.

119
00:07:58,978 --> 00:08:02,023
Atlético was even superior
to the club from Rio.

120
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:04,672
The core of our national squad
in the 1982 World Cup,

121
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:06,841
the one which all the world
fell in love with,

122
00:08:06,861 --> 00:08:10,198
was made of players from Atlético
and the club from Rio.

123
00:08:10,406 --> 00:08:11,804
Wright did his nasty business,

124
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:15,016
Flamengo went on to win the Libertadores
and the Club World Cup.

125
00:08:15,036 --> 00:08:16,996
We would have been world champions.

126
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:20,062
But by Wright's hands, we weren't.

127
00:08:20,082 --> 00:08:22,773
Reinaldo,
what do you think of all this?

128
00:08:22,793 --> 00:08:27,632
I still don't understand
José Roberto.

129
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:30,781
He's completely unhinged out there,

130
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:33,451
he's making a joke out of this game,

131
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:35,620
a match that could be easily conducted.

132
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,622
Words from Reinaldo.

133
00:08:37,642 --> 00:08:39,957
By the way,
very conscientious and calm words.

134
00:08:39,977 --> 00:08:42,126
Reinaldo walked off the pitch

135
00:08:42,146 --> 00:08:44,857
much more composed
than José Roberto Wright himself.

136
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:47,902
King Reinaldo's closed fist…

137
00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:51,928
This is an icon that represents

138
00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:54,617
what we were, what we are.

139
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:59,143
We may have not won
all the titles we deserved,

140
00:08:59,163 --> 00:09:01,646
many were stolen from our hands.

141
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:06,963
But as this club of resistance,
it's such a beautiful story.

142
00:09:07,129 --> 00:09:09,757
<i>Take the game to them, Rooster!</i>

143
00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:16,138
<i>Take the game to them, Rooster!</i>

144
00:09:19,684 --> 00:09:22,353
<i>Take the game to them, Rooster!</i>

145
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:28,609
<i>Take the game to them, Rooster!</i>

146
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:11,882
Belo Horizonte was only 11 years of age

147
00:10:11,902 --> 00:10:13,195
when Atlético was founded.

148
00:10:14,822 --> 00:10:16,971
The city was a settlement of miners,

149
00:10:16,991 --> 00:10:18,993
coming from all corners of the state.

150
00:10:19,368 --> 00:10:23,205
And Galo helped to sew
this patchwork in our social fabric.

151
00:10:23,998 --> 00:10:25,730
The club for the poor, the rich,

152
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:28,002
for men and women,
of blacks and whites.

153
00:10:29,545 --> 00:10:32,298
Anyone who wanted could be Galo.

154
00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:36,302
This represented much more
than a football club.

155
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:39,472
It was also the utopia
of a better world.

156
00:10:44,352 --> 00:10:50,149
It was an afternoon
of March 25th, 1908.

157
00:10:50,691 --> 00:10:53,277
The dream started then.

158
00:10:57,156 --> 00:11:00,806
A group of boys of
14, 15 years old,

159
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:02,808
started meeting in the park,

160
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:08,814
with the idea of creating a football team.

161
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:13,694
My grandmother, Alice Neves,
decided to support them.

162
00:11:13,714 --> 00:11:18,240
Firstly, she designed
and made their uniforms.

163
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:22,682
Then, a proper training
ground was in order.

164
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:26,332
So they found an abandoned lot,

165
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:30,419
cleared and weeded it themselves,

166
00:11:30,439 --> 00:11:33,150
with such an enthusiasm and joy, a dream!

167
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:37,988
My grandmother visited each boy

168
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,869
to ask for their authorization
so girls could form a fan club.

169
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:47,248
Fifty girls joined.

170
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:52,858
She had so much love
for all that she planted…

171
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:56,841
She was the one who started it all,
her and the kids...

172
00:12:01,637 --> 00:12:04,453
We are where everything began.

173
00:12:04,473 --> 00:12:06,372
The Municipal Park, to this date,

174
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:10,855
is still a pleasant place,
frequented especially by the poor.

175
00:12:11,355 --> 00:12:13,691
Atlético was founded 1908.

176
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:19,739
América some years later,
their centenary year must be near.

177
00:12:20,281 --> 00:12:23,784
And Cruzeiro was founded
in the early 1920s.

178
00:12:24,285 --> 00:12:29,854
So Atlético was
the city's football club,

179
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:32,189
one who didn't leave any supporter out.

180
00:12:32,209 --> 00:12:34,191
It wasn't neither
the team of the elites,

181
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:37,862
like América claimed to be,

182
00:12:37,882 --> 00:12:40,656
nor the immigrants club
like Palestra, Cruzeiro's original name.

183
00:12:40,676 --> 00:12:41,761
It was the city's club.

184
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:56,650
My grandpa
was a Cruzeiro supporter.

185
00:12:57,902 --> 00:12:59,633
Never stepped in a football stadium.

186
00:12:59,653 --> 00:13:01,197
Mr. Moisés Kalil.

187
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:05,556
They were neighbors
with a family of black people.

188
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:08,913
Both marginalized groups,
Arabs and blacks.

189
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:12,041
So a great friendship flourished

190
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:14,919
between my grandfather
and the Fileto family.

191
00:13:17,004 --> 00:13:18,589
And they were Atleticanos.

192
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,968
My grandfather
didn't care much for football,

193
00:13:23,177 --> 00:13:24,220
and my father was a kid.

194
00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:28,140
And this Fileto,
an older black guy,

195
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:30,206
asked my grandfather

196
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:33,959
if he could take Elias,
my father, to the stadium.

197
00:13:33,979 --> 00:13:36,857
But he only attended Atlético games,

198
00:13:37,525 --> 00:13:41,612
so he was the reason
my father became an Atleticano.

199
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:50,204
It was a Cruzeiro-Atletico
derby in a final.

200
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:52,373
Grandpa told me.

201
00:13:53,374 --> 00:13:56,106
“I'll take you, and I won't
force anything on you.

202
00:13:56,126 --> 00:13:58,587
You'll pick the one you want to support.”

203
00:13:59,004 --> 00:14:00,569
He spoiled me so much.

204
00:14:00,589 --> 00:14:02,800
So to the game we went.
By train.

205
00:14:03,467 --> 00:14:05,533
It was at the Independência Stadium,

206
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:07,555
we were seated on this sector here.

207
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:11,539
Grandpa told me
to pay attention to the teams' entrance.

208
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,977
So Cruzeiro walked in,

209
00:14:13,185 --> 00:14:17,378
and some chants, a few shouts…

210
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:20,192
They lost every time against Atletico, so…

211
00:14:20,484 --> 00:14:22,550
When Galo walked in
everything went crazy,

212
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:24,385
and I said
“Grandpa, the black and white one!”

213
00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:27,825
He threw me up in the air, hugged me…

214
00:14:35,207 --> 00:14:38,732
<i>Atlético in their valiant battles.</i>

215
00:14:38,752 --> 00:14:42,570
<i>Leave the fields covered in glory...</i>

216
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:47,469
Since its first steps,
Galo's history is of unique beauty.

217
00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:50,452
Our first goal was scored by Pingo,

218
00:14:50,472 --> 00:14:52,454
nickname of Aníbal Machado,

219
00:14:52,474 --> 00:14:54,540
writer from our state
who would later become

220
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,313
one of the greatest authors
of Brazilian literature.

221
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,943
Atlético was the first champion
of Belo Horizonte, in 1914.

222
00:15:03,319 --> 00:15:06,468
First Minas Gerais
State champion, in 1915,

223
00:15:06,488 --> 00:15:08,679
wearing an all-black jersey
in support of a campaign

224
00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:12,369
to send all white fabric
to the First World War medics.

225
00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:17,438
The first known football fan association

226
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:20,691
is the 1920s girls-only fan club,

227
00:15:20,711 --> 00:15:23,005
under the command
of Mrs. Alice Neves,

228
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:27,343
who should be considered,
after all, Atlético's first chairwoman.

229
00:15:38,687 --> 00:15:40,898
Lito and Alvinho
exchange pleasantries.

230
00:15:41,273 --> 00:15:42,880
The match is about to start,

231
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,361
says announcer Paulo Nunes Vieira.

232
00:15:48,030 --> 00:15:51,325
Atlético enthusiastically
organizes its first attack.

233
00:15:56,413 --> 00:15:57,978
The boys in red and white
fight back,

234
00:15:57,998 --> 00:16:00,584
attacking the goal
guarded by Sinval.

235
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:06,654
The reliable goalkeeper
launches the ball back into action.

236
00:16:06,674 --> 00:16:08,572
Atlético presses on,

237
00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:11,450
imposing confusion
on Villa Nova's defenders.

238
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:12,701
A free kick is taken,

239
00:16:12,721 --> 00:16:14,703
putting keeper Arizona
under some duress,

240
00:16:14,723 --> 00:16:16,725
on a blunder
by Villa's own defender.

241
00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:25,067
What a shot by Alvinho.

242
00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:51,093
<i>I like to watch Atlético play.</i>

243
00:16:52,219 --> 00:16:56,974
<i>How they know
to put the ball in the back of the net.</i>

244
00:16:57,641 --> 00:17:01,750
<i>Atlético, you're the best.</i>

245
00:17:01,770 --> 00:17:06,567
<i>You're Minas Gerais most beloved club.</i>

246
00:17:07,651 --> 00:17:09,758
In the first half
of the 20th century,

247
00:17:09,778 --> 00:17:12,302
Atlético saw some
of their greatest idols,

248
00:17:12,322 --> 00:17:15,389
among them Said,
Jairo and Mario de Castro,

249
00:17:15,409 --> 00:17:17,057
known as the Inglorious Three.

250
00:17:17,077 --> 00:17:18,559
They commanded an unforgettable

251
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:21,290
9-2 win against Palestra Itália.

252
00:17:22,499 --> 00:17:24,523
Nationally renowned player,

253
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:27,359
Mario de Castro never played
for the national team,

254
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:30,799
for this would mean wearing
other jersey than Galo's.

255
00:17:32,509 --> 00:17:35,534
Later on, Guará, the “Blond Danger”,
and Kafunga,

256
00:17:35,554 --> 00:17:40,225
winners of the first
National Championship, in 1937.

257
00:17:41,852 --> 00:17:44,293
The title “Champion of Champions”

258
00:17:44,313 --> 00:17:47,232
was forever imprinted
on the club's anthem.

259
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:49,798
In the 1950s,

260
00:17:49,818 --> 00:17:52,509
we won 5 consecutive
State Championships for the first time,

261
00:17:52,529 --> 00:17:54,470
by the feet of other heroes

262
00:17:54,490 --> 00:17:56,263
such as Zé do Monte and Ubaldo,

263
00:17:56,283 --> 00:17:58,474
who claimed to
particularly enjoy beating Cruzeiro

264
00:17:58,494 --> 00:18:00,496
because
“They didn't allow blacks there.”

265
00:18:11,715 --> 00:18:13,530
Mother used to wash
Kafunga's jersey,

266
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:16,804
his shorts were
made of flour sacks.

267
00:18:17,346 --> 00:18:20,746
I was still a girl
when she washed his clothes,

268
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:22,748
we lived in Ceará Street.

269
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:24,750
We came by his place
to get his clothes,

270
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:26,752
mother washed his shirts…

271
00:18:26,772 --> 00:18:30,297
Back then the fabric was thick,

272
00:18:30,317 --> 00:18:34,259
it wasn't nylon or any of
these fancy new ones...

273
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:37,387
The jerseys were rustic,
as people used to say,

274
00:18:37,407 --> 00:18:38,826
“They ate the grass.”

275
00:18:39,201 --> 00:18:42,851
Marriages, birthdays, anything…

276
00:18:42,871 --> 00:18:45,896
If Galo's playing,
you can count me out.

277
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:47,209
I'll be at the stadium.

278
00:18:47,793 --> 00:18:49,733
I just missed a birthday last week…

279
00:18:49,753 --> 00:18:51,401
Baptism, ceremonies…

280
00:18:51,421 --> 00:18:53,195
We leave everything aside.

281
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:55,614
And my girls always gave birth

282
00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:57,407
when the season
had already started.

283
00:18:57,427 --> 00:18:59,409
I used to take them
to the hospital and say.

284
00:18:59,429 --> 00:19:01,620
“When I come back from the game,

285
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,915
you tell me if it's a boy or a girl,
but they'll be Atleticano.

286
00:19:04,935 --> 00:19:06,937
I didn't wait around.

287
00:19:07,271 --> 00:19:08,836
I'm back here.

288
00:19:08,856 --> 00:19:10,440
With Caçapa.

289
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:14,299
Back when we could
pose with the team,

290
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:15,946
now we're not allowed.

291
00:19:16,196 --> 00:19:18,907
Here we're walking on the pitch
with the boys…

292
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:52,441
<i>We're the champions! We're the champions!</i>

293
00:19:56,737 --> 00:19:59,928
<i>In the Mineirão Stadium.</i>

294
00:19:59,948 --> 00:20:03,182
<i>The crowd explodes.</i>

295
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:06,768
<i>All come to see.</i>

296
00:20:06,788 --> 00:20:09,521
<i>The beloved, fierce Rooster...</i>

297
00:20:09,541 --> 00:20:12,482
You know, when Mineirão
was inaugurated in 1965,

298
00:20:12,502 --> 00:20:15,861
they called
an Atlético supporter, "Sempre"...

299
00:20:15,881 --> 00:20:18,614
We always had iconic fans,

300
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:22,075
Vitor Bastos, Sempre,
Mrs. Alice Neves.

301
00:20:22,095 --> 00:20:24,369
And the Mineirão
was built for the Atlético fans.

302
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:27,623
So they called
Sempre and asked him

303
00:20:27,643 --> 00:20:30,375
to pick a sector
for the Atlético supporters.

304
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:32,711
He picked a certain spot,

305
00:20:32,731 --> 00:20:35,547
and by the time the match begun,

306
00:20:35,567 --> 00:20:40,010
that sector was
entirely out in the sun.

307
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:41,845
So people were like,

308
00:20:41,865 --> 00:20:45,933
"You picked that spot and now
the fans will be out in the sun..."

309
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:48,560
And he said one of the
most beautiful things in the world,

310
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:50,312
which I believe represents our spirit:

311
00:20:50,332 --> 00:20:52,981
“Atlético supporters
will be out in the sun,

312
00:20:53,001 --> 00:20:54,733
but are faithful as the shadow.”

313
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:57,110
<i>Triumph, triumph, triumph</i>

314
00:20:57,130 --> 00:21:00,405
<i>This is our ideal</i>

315
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:03,408
<i>Elevating our State's name</i>

316
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:06,306
<i>In the Brazilian sports scenario...</i>

317
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:09,665
<i>Strive, strive, strive</i>

318
00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:13,397
<i>With all your heart and pride...</i>

319
00:21:18,819 --> 00:21:20,342
Atleticanos are funny,

320
00:21:20,362 --> 00:21:22,302
they all say
that they're like this.

321
00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:23,929
That they're different.

322
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:26,556
So they start saying this,
that they're different,

323
00:21:26,576 --> 00:21:30,143
that Atleticanos are different,
they all say that.

324
00:21:30,163 --> 00:21:33,772
And it turns into the truth,
they're all like this, period.

325
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:36,566
They're known for it nowadays,

326
00:21:36,586 --> 00:21:38,568
for never jumping ship,

327
00:21:38,588 --> 00:21:44,344
for being passionate,
for being believers even in defeat...

328
00:22:00,527 --> 00:22:04,594
I still can't believe
I am the Marvelous Dadá, Dario...

329
00:22:04,614 --> 00:22:07,556
I went through some hard times,
an outlaw life.

330
00:22:07,576 --> 00:22:10,495
Skipped school to steal from people,
stabbed people.

331
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:12,769
But I ran like crazy from the cops,

332
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:14,771
my speed was unbelievable.

333
00:22:14,791 --> 00:22:16,773
And my jumping reach was amazing,

334
00:22:16,793 --> 00:22:18,775
when I jumped over walls to rob houses,

335
00:22:18,795 --> 00:22:22,341
to climb on mango trees,
to steal them...

336
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:25,365
It was a tumultuous life.

337
00:22:25,385 --> 00:22:28,201
I was used to being
detained for ten days or so,

338
00:22:28,221 --> 00:22:29,639
they kicked me out, I moved around.

339
00:22:30,015 --> 00:22:34,166
After that, when I was 18,
I went to the army.

340
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:36,188
In there, I started
to play some football.

341
00:22:37,230 --> 00:22:40,650
The first time
I kicked a ball, I was 19.

342
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:45,886
When I first arrived in Atlético,

343
00:22:45,906 --> 00:22:47,471
the crowd
started to chant “Galo!”,

344
00:22:47,491 --> 00:22:49,473
it shook me to the core.

345
00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:51,495
I thought,
"What a crazy mob!"

346
00:22:51,953 --> 00:22:54,853
I wasn't so hot,
people didn't want me there,

347
00:22:54,873 --> 00:22:58,648
other players badmouthed me
to the coach.

348
00:22:58,668 --> 00:23:00,609
"This guy is so bad..."

349
00:23:00,629 --> 00:23:02,361
Coach said:
"You're saying he's bad,

350
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:05,092
but the papers in Rio
say he's a goalscorer."

351
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:09,971
The training started,
Lola passed me the ball,

352
00:23:10,389 --> 00:23:12,599
I scored twice.

353
00:23:12,974 --> 00:23:15,332
But I also booted one so high,
I killed a vulture,

354
00:23:15,352 --> 00:23:16,833
another one hit the corner flag.

355
00:23:16,853 --> 00:23:20,212
So Coach Yustrich
approached me and said,

356
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:21,880
“Boy, you're not that bad.”

357
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:24,216
I said, “Want to see me turn
this thing around?"

358
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:25,550
Put me with the starters."

359
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:28,762
Atlético Mineiro
has the biggest flag in the world

360
00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:31,618
and unstoppable supporters.

361
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,267
Even against the
Brazilian national team,

362
00:23:34,287 --> 00:23:37,646
Galo showed up
like a title was at stake.

363
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:39,648
It was a festive friendly

364
00:23:39,668 --> 00:23:41,650
after the qualification
to the next World Cup,

365
00:23:41,670 --> 00:23:44,089
but the miners
were all about winning.

366
00:23:52,681 --> 00:23:54,996
The national team
attacked a few times,

367
00:23:55,016 --> 00:23:58,311
Atlético persisted
and the first goal came.

368
00:24:10,115 --> 00:24:13,598
“Mr. Saldanha,
Dadá is scoring left and right,

369
00:24:13,618 --> 00:24:14,891
nobody can stop him.

370
00:24:14,911 --> 00:24:16,913
Can the national team stop him?”

371
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:21,440
“Guys, Dadá isn't even
among the top ten

372
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:23,462
best strikers in Brazil.”

373
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,173
So I took it personal.

374
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,991
I said,
"Mr. Saldanha, you may go to hell.

375
00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:33,743
Your shitty national team
is only unbeatable

376
00:24:33,763 --> 00:24:35,437
because they still
have to face Dadá."

377
00:24:35,458 --> 00:24:38,560
But Pelé soon equalized.

378
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:44,296
I know Mineirão's pitch
like the palm of my hand.

379
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:46,756
“You're invincible,
but you're facing Atlético now.

380
00:24:46,776 --> 00:24:50,552
And you will lose.
And I'll break you.”

381
00:24:50,572 --> 00:24:53,472
Atlético is pure enthusiasm.

382
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:55,140
Their sheer willpower makes up

383
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,308
for the lack of talent.

384
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:57,454
And how it did.

385
00:24:58,788 --> 00:25:00,937
It was the second goal
for the miners team,

386
00:25:00,957 --> 00:25:03,251
making their supporters go crazy.

387
00:25:04,961 --> 00:25:07,527
A historic win for Atlético,

388
00:25:07,547 --> 00:25:09,549
2-1 against the national team.

389
00:25:14,804 --> 00:25:18,455
The crowd shouts
“King, king, king!”.

390
00:25:18,475 --> 00:25:21,208
What does this mean
to you, Reinaldo?

391
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:23,210
It's yet another
incentive for me,

392
00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:28,715
the Atlético fans
change a player.

393
00:25:28,735 --> 00:25:33,011
Some of us who were
brought up in this club…

394
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:36,223
We love this club
and we play out of love.

395
00:25:36,243 --> 00:25:39,538
We're the same with
those in the stands.

396
00:25:48,838 --> 00:25:51,571
Barbatana invited me
to come to Belo Horizonte

397
00:25:51,591 --> 00:25:55,575
to test for Atlético's U-18 team.

398
00:25:55,595 --> 00:25:57,285
I was 14.

399
00:25:57,305 --> 00:25:59,955
And they put us
against the first team,

400
00:25:59,975 --> 00:26:02,958
the one which won
the National Championship in 1971.

401
00:26:02,978 --> 00:26:06,461
Naturally, I started as a sub.
It was a try-out.

402
00:26:06,481 --> 00:26:10,799
So they put me in
for the last 20 minutes or so.

403
00:26:10,819 --> 00:26:14,970
So there I was,
playing against Grapete, Vantuir.

404
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:17,973
I dribbled around,

405
00:26:17,993 --> 00:26:21,726
nutmegged them,
even scored a goal.

406
00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:25,105
So I caught the attention of the coaches,

407
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:28,712
in my first day,
in my first 20 minutes.

408
00:26:40,890 --> 00:26:42,956
With Reinaldo,
there was not other way.

409
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:45,417
He was a born goalscorer.
And what a class.

410
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:47,711
He placed the shots where he wanted.

411
00:26:47,731 --> 00:26:51,506
You can't make a player like that,
he's born.

412
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,175
Reinaldo is unsettling.

413
00:26:54,195 --> 00:26:57,846
He could feint his way out
of two or three players

414
00:26:57,866 --> 00:27:00,682
if you gave him a square meter
to work with.

415
00:27:00,702 --> 00:27:04,164
After that first dribble,
they went for his knees.

416
00:27:07,584 --> 00:27:11,067
<i>The people won't forget his immortal name</i>

417
00:27:11,087 --> 00:27:13,632
<i>Reinaldo is phenomenal!</i>

418
00:27:14,883 --> 00:27:18,700
Atlético was always the fierce,
tough team.

419
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,411
So Reinaldo came to show that

420
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:23,350
you could be tough,
but also technical.

421
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:27,062
That guts and finesse
could coexist in football.

422
00:27:28,021 --> 00:27:30,670
We talk about Messi, Maradona…

423
00:27:30,690 --> 00:27:33,882
Reinaldo is up there with them.

424
00:27:33,902 --> 00:27:37,469
A classy touch from Reinaldo,
no chance for the keeper!

425
00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:39,929
The black and white supporters' hearts

426
00:27:39,949 --> 00:27:42,702
explode with joy at the sight
of the amazing Reinaldo!

427
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:45,393
In my opinion,

428
00:27:45,413 --> 00:27:48,104
the second best
Brazilian player ever, following Pelé.

429
00:27:48,124 --> 00:27:51,670
It's not Zico or Sócrates,
nobody.

430
00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:54,756
Nobody did what Reinaldo did.

431
00:27:58,551 --> 00:28:01,763
Reinaldo had the genius spark.

432
00:28:02,764 --> 00:28:05,517
And that's why he was
hunted around the pitch.

433
00:28:10,271 --> 00:28:11,648
If you knew him,

434
00:28:11,773 --> 00:28:14,839
you'd know that even walking down
a flight of stairs

435
00:28:14,859 --> 00:28:16,841
a flight of stairs was hard for him.

436
00:28:16,861 --> 00:28:18,371
He didn't look like a pro player.

437
00:28:18,392 --> 00:28:20,929
He went through
several knee procedures

438
00:28:20,949 --> 00:28:22,180
at a young age.

439
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,182
And he still managed
to put on a show

440
00:28:24,202 --> 00:28:26,184
even with all these problems.

441
00:28:26,204 --> 00:28:28,186
He couldn't even train,

442
00:28:28,206 --> 00:28:30,208
he only managed
to play when it counted.

443
00:28:33,665 --> 00:28:34,818
In Belo Horizonte,

444
00:28:34,838 --> 00:28:36,820
Reinaldo was the neighbor of Frei Betto,

445
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,385
who'd spent two years in jail
during the military dictatorship.

446
00:28:42,011 --> 00:28:43,493
Influenced by them,

447
00:28:43,513 --> 00:28:45,495
the King acquired political awareness

448
00:28:45,515 --> 00:28:46,830
and learned how the regime

449
00:28:46,850 --> 00:28:49,207
killed or disappeared
those who opposed them.

450
00:28:49,227 --> 00:28:51,229
So he decided
to fight in his own way.

451
00:28:52,313 --> 00:28:55,130
Starting in the
1977 National Championship,

452
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:58,425
he would celebrate his goals
with a raised closed fist,

453
00:28:58,445 --> 00:29:01,156
a historical symbol
of fight and resistance.

454
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:06,766
By the looks of it,
the generals didn't enjoy that.

455
00:29:06,786 --> 00:29:10,770
It's a socialist gesture,

456
00:29:10,790 --> 00:29:15,650
of revolutionary verve,
of rebellious spirit.

457
00:29:15,670 --> 00:29:18,278
People were getting more
politicized, so the gesture

458
00:29:18,298 --> 00:29:21,990
gained a racial connotation
later on,

459
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:23,616
with the Black Panthers...

460
00:29:23,636 --> 00:29:28,391
It was a way of escaping
the dictatorship's surveillance.

461
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:31,541
When Reinaldo celebrated his goals

462
00:29:31,561 --> 00:29:34,627
using the Black Panther's closed fist,

463
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:37,130
he was saying,
“No, enough!”

464
00:29:37,150 --> 00:29:39,110
To the military dictatorship.

465
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:44,179
And I'll say something,
not as a delusional Atleticano,

466
00:29:44,199 --> 00:29:46,514
it's well known that
there was an organized effort

467
00:29:46,534 --> 00:29:49,392
against Atlético
and Reinaldo that time.

468
00:29:49,412 --> 00:29:53,166
We were kind of a resistant group.

469
00:29:55,251 --> 00:29:57,317
General Ernesto Geisel told me

470
00:29:57,337 --> 00:29:59,319
I should keep
kicking balls around

471
00:29:59,339 --> 00:30:02,489
and leave politics to them.

472
00:30:02,509 --> 00:30:08,807
I was speechless.
What could I say to a General?

473
00:30:10,141 --> 00:30:14,793
The greatest moment
of his career in Atlético

474
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:18,274
was the 1977 National Championship,

475
00:30:20,276 --> 00:30:25,303
when he was playing
uninjured for the first time,

476
00:30:25,323 --> 00:30:27,138
had just started a new treatment,

477
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:29,140
his knees weren't
bothering him anymore.

478
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,455
That was a spectacular year for him.

479
00:30:33,873 --> 00:30:35,396
Soon before the final,

480
00:30:35,416 --> 00:30:37,398
Atlético was still invincible,

481
00:30:37,418 --> 00:30:39,692
with a 10-point lead off São Paulo,

482
00:30:39,712 --> 00:30:41,861
the court tried and
suspended Reinaldo,

483
00:30:41,881 --> 00:30:43,258
so he couldn't play the final.

484
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:45,698
He was sent off
early in the championship,

485
00:30:45,718 --> 00:30:47,283
so they held off on the trial

486
00:30:47,303 --> 00:30:50,849
until the appropriate moment,
to keep him off the pitch.

487
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,562
Serginho was sent off
a week before the match.

488
00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:57,438
I was sent off a year before.

489
00:30:58,648 --> 00:31:00,149
Why didn't they try me?

490
00:31:02,318 --> 00:31:04,530
It was rough,
because Reinaldo...

491
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,199
scored 27 or 28 goals that year.

492
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:13,810
It was a fantastic year for us,

493
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:15,770
we were unbeaten.

494
00:31:15,790 --> 00:31:19,941
And we played the finals against
São Paulo here in Mineirão,

495
00:31:19,961 --> 00:31:21,963
a hundred thousand people
in attendance.

496
00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:05,361
I had...

497
00:32:05,381 --> 00:32:08,426
the match-winning shot.

498
00:32:09,594 --> 00:32:12,660
I did everything right,
it was a nice buildup…

499
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,723
I had everything...

500
00:32:14,307 --> 00:32:15,475
And I shot.

501
00:32:16,809 --> 00:32:22,774
Paulo Isidoro...
Valdir Peres, amazing save!

502
00:32:24,859 --> 00:32:26,152
Right-footed cross…

503
00:32:27,153 --> 00:32:28,655
Serginho on the right flank…

504
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:36,079
Dangerous play,
the Atlético player falls.

505
00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:38,895
It was a foul inside the box,
so it's a penalty.

506
00:32:38,915 --> 00:32:40,897
There were many like this one,

507
00:32:40,917 --> 00:32:42,899
outside the box, given by the ref.

508
00:32:42,919 --> 00:32:44,442
Then there was that moment,

509
00:32:44,462 --> 00:32:50,073
when Chicão cowardly
broke Ângelo's leg.

510
00:32:50,093 --> 00:32:53,618
That shook us up a bit,

511
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:57,183
when a player is carried off
with such an injury.

512
00:32:58,017 --> 00:33:00,500
That was how São Paulo managed

513
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,210
to get the match to a penalty shootout,

514
00:33:02,230 --> 00:33:03,564
which is what they wanted.

515
00:33:10,279 --> 00:33:11,761
If you think about this,

516
00:33:11,781 --> 00:33:16,494
a team losing the title
on a penalty shootout,

517
00:33:17,870 --> 00:33:19,310
in a single elimination match,

518
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:21,312
playing without their best player,

519
00:33:21,332 --> 00:33:28,027
who couldn't be there
because of shady court string-pulling,

520
00:33:28,047 --> 00:33:31,843
with an 11-point lead
off the team that beat them…

521
00:33:32,468 --> 00:33:33,574
It's appalling.

522
00:33:33,594 --> 00:33:35,930
Football lost that day.

523
00:33:36,431 --> 00:33:38,538
The supporters
who lived through it all,

524
00:33:38,558 --> 00:33:42,208
they knew in their hearts
they had the best squad.

525
00:33:42,228 --> 00:33:44,230
But not the champion squad.

526
00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:55,450
It was a violent trauma for us
and for all the supporters.

527
00:33:55,867 --> 00:33:56,951
That hurt.

528
00:33:57,660 --> 00:33:58,953
Still hurts to this day.

529
00:34:00,830 --> 00:34:02,353
Walking out the stadium,

530
00:34:02,373 --> 00:34:04,355
we saw scenes...

531
00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:06,816
such as abandoned men
on the sidewalk,

532
00:34:06,836 --> 00:34:08,484
just sitting there, crying,

533
00:34:08,504 --> 00:34:11,904
crying their hearts out with their flags…

534
00:34:11,924 --> 00:34:13,926
And a silence.

535
00:34:14,802 --> 00:34:19,182
It was a rainy, gloomy day.

536
00:34:20,975 --> 00:34:23,644
Belo Horizonte had never seen
a sadder day.

537
00:34:43,456 --> 00:34:46,022
Belo Horizonte's hectic development

538
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:48,608
created an accelerated pace
of expansion,

539
00:34:48,628 --> 00:34:52,236
reflected on the great quantity
of building sites

540
00:34:52,256 --> 00:34:55,782
aiming to meet
the ever-growing needs of commerce,

541
00:34:55,802 --> 00:34:58,638
industry and liberal professionals.

542
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:05,416
Counting with around 70 sports venues,

543
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:09,816
Belo Horizonte chose football
as its favorite pastime.

544
00:35:11,526 --> 00:35:13,257
<i>Strive, strive, strive</i>

545
00:35:13,277 --> 00:35:16,489
<i>To win around the globe</i>

546
00:35:17,698 --> 00:35:20,014
<i>Clube Atlético Mineiro</i>

547
00:35:20,034 --> 00:35:23,871
<i>Now and until I die</i>

548
00:35:24,831 --> 00:35:27,939
<i>We are Champions of the Ice</i>

549
00:35:27,959 --> 00:35:31,212
<i>Our squad is immortal</i>

550
00:35:32,213 --> 00:35:35,299
<i>We are Champions of Champions…</i>

551
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,662
Brazil hosted the 1950 World Cup.

552
00:35:42,682 --> 00:35:47,250
It was the year of a
fantastic Atlético tour.

553
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:51,504
Germans who were here for the World Cup

554
00:35:51,524 --> 00:35:55,675
had a project of inviting
football clubs overseas,

555
00:35:55,695 --> 00:35:59,637
in order to improve
Europe's football technique,

556
00:35:59,657 --> 00:36:01,639
particularly that of Germany.

557
00:36:01,659 --> 00:36:08,479
For Atlético, this was memorable.
It will be forever in our history.

558
00:36:08,499 --> 00:36:12,795
We were the first
Brazilian club to tour like that.

559
00:36:13,546 --> 00:36:16,966
We opened the doors
for the rest of Brazilian football.

560
00:36:19,677 --> 00:36:21,492
The last match we played in Paris,

561
00:36:21,512 --> 00:36:23,494
it was twelve below zero.

562
00:36:23,514 --> 00:36:28,749
Some players in our squad
passed out after the final whistle

563
00:36:28,769 --> 00:36:33,774
and had to be put in a hot bath
to recover their senses.

564
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,646
Some Brazilian sailors

565
00:36:50,666 --> 00:36:55,610
were stationed there
on a Brazilian Navy ship,

566
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:59,238
so they attended that match.

567
00:36:59,258 --> 00:37:01,574
There were around
15 Brazilians there.

568
00:37:01,594 --> 00:37:05,494
They made more noise

569
00:37:05,514 --> 00:37:10,708
than the 40 thousand
Germans in the stadium.

570
00:37:10,728 --> 00:37:14,503
And in the next day's paper
the headlines were:

571
00:37:14,523 --> 00:37:19,362
“Atlético Mineiro came
to teach football to the German”.

572
00:37:54,730 --> 00:37:58,067
I was around 5 or 6 when they left,

573
00:37:58,651 --> 00:38:02,134
and my mother took
me and my siblings

574
00:38:02,154 --> 00:38:05,616
to the airport
to welcome my father back.

575
00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:10,601
It was packed with people.

576
00:38:10,621 --> 00:38:16,877
The main avenue
was taken on both sides.

577
00:38:17,545 --> 00:38:19,964
It was madness.

578
00:38:20,256 --> 00:38:22,613
<i>Triumph, triumph, triumph.</i>

579
00:38:22,633 --> 00:38:25,553
<i>This is our ideal.</i>

580
00:38:25,845 --> 00:38:29,412
<i>Honoring our State's name.</i>

581
00:38:29,432 --> 00:38:32,643
<i>In the world's sports scenario.</i>

582
00:38:33,227 --> 00:38:36,480
<i>Strive, strive, strive…</i>

583
00:38:48,075 --> 00:38:51,309
<i>I say it loud and clear
My challenge to you.</i>

584
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:53,060
<i>When I step on the Moon</i>

585
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,979
<i>I want to hear a goal by Dario.</i>

586
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:56,814
<i>And when Dario celebrates.</i>

587
00:38:56,834 --> 00:38:58,816
<i>In his amazing fashion</i>

588
00:38:58,836 --> 00:39:02,965
<i>I will plant an Atlético flag
on the Moon.</i>

589
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:06,574
<i>When I leave for the Moon</i>

590
00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:10,453
<i>I'll take my TV with me.</i>

591
00:39:10,473 --> 00:39:13,456
<i>So that when I'm planting the flag</i>

592
00:39:13,476 --> 00:39:16,854
<i>I'll be able to see Dario
Shaking Mineirão.</i>

593
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:20,379
The 1971 squad was
a team of workhorses.

594
00:39:20,399 --> 00:39:21,442
Me included.

595
00:39:21,942 --> 00:39:23,632
But we had three great players:

596
00:39:23,652 --> 00:39:29,909
Odair, the extraordinary Lola,
and Humberto Ramos.

597
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:33,059
We were underdogs in the early stages,

598
00:39:33,079 --> 00:39:35,394
we had only been 3rd place
in the State Championship,

599
00:39:35,414 --> 00:39:37,355
people didn't expect
anything from us.

600
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:40,961
People were bashing me
on the radio everyday.

601
00:39:42,004 --> 00:39:45,049
They didn't even let me speak.

602
00:39:45,466 --> 00:39:47,114
So I told them:

603
00:39:47,134 --> 00:39:49,909
“When I said I'd be the top goalscorer,

604
00:39:49,929 --> 00:39:51,931
there's more to it.

605
00:39:52,348 --> 00:39:53,599
I'll be the top goalscorer.

606
00:39:54,683 --> 00:39:56,435
Atlético will also be champions.

607
00:39:57,770 --> 00:40:00,252
And I'll score the title-winning goal.
Now I'm done.”

608
00:40:00,272 --> 00:40:02,254
Who was the best?

609
00:40:02,274 --> 00:40:05,653
Atlético, Botafogo or São Paulo?

610
00:40:06,153 --> 00:40:08,864
These were the three finalists.

611
00:40:09,865 --> 00:40:13,119
Odair is there,
also Tião and Wanderley.

612
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:14,912
The wall is formed.

613
00:40:15,663 --> 00:40:18,707
Sergio stays to his
left side under the goal.

614
00:40:19,959 --> 00:40:23,546
Tião plays the dummy,
it's Odair, he shoots…

615
00:40:23,879 --> 00:40:29,260
It's a goal, Odair taking a free kick!

616
00:40:30,010 --> 00:40:33,722
Atlético 1, São Paulo 0…

617
00:40:35,474 --> 00:40:39,792
The Atlético supporters
got the Federal Traffic Police

618
00:40:39,812 --> 00:40:42,461
to turn the highway to Rio
into a one-way road.

619
00:40:42,481 --> 00:40:48,487
So that the buses,
cars and trucks... You name it.

620
00:40:48,737 --> 00:40:52,096
So that everything
was Rio-bound.

621
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:56,287
There were more Atlético fans
than Botafogo's in Maracanã.

622
00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:01,021
We were playing
a ping-pong tournament

623
00:41:01,041 --> 00:41:03,441
and in the end it was
me against Telê, our coach.

624
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:04,733
He was very good.

625
00:41:04,753 --> 00:41:06,735
During a point,
he faked me to one side,

626
00:41:06,755 --> 00:41:08,404
I tried to rotate back,

627
00:41:08,424 --> 00:41:12,344
my back twisted
and I fell on the floor, crying.

628
00:41:12,761 --> 00:41:15,286
Telê said:
“I injured my striker!”

629
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,329
I said:
“Telê, I'll play.”

630
00:41:17,349 --> 00:41:19,351
On the first half,
I was terrible.

631
00:41:19,768 --> 00:41:21,333
I was walking out there.

632
00:41:21,353 --> 00:41:24,628
In halftime Telê told me
he was subbing me out,

633
00:41:24,648 --> 00:41:25,963
"You're in no condition."

634
00:41:25,983 --> 00:41:28,444
So I said:
“Telê, I'll just ask you this.

635
00:41:29,403 --> 00:41:31,135
Give me 20 minutes
before taking me out,

636
00:41:31,155 --> 00:41:33,137
I'll have scored by then.”

637
00:41:33,157 --> 00:41:37,057
At 18 minutes of the second half,

638
00:41:37,077 --> 00:41:43,209
there he was, Dario!
The "Iron Chest"!

639
00:41:44,668 --> 00:41:46,817
Humberto Ramos drives past
to the end line,

640
00:41:46,837 --> 00:41:48,839
manages to cross,
Dario with a header!

641
00:41:49,298 --> 00:41:50,549
Goal!

642
00:42:11,987 --> 00:42:15,471
In the 90th minute!

643
00:42:15,491 --> 00:42:19,225
My face is filled with tears!

644
00:42:19,245 --> 00:42:23,771
Joy invades me and
all the people from Minas Gerais!

645
00:42:23,791 --> 00:42:27,525
Atlético are Brazilian Champions!

646
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:30,069
Telê Santana is being carried
on their shoulders!

647
00:42:30,089 --> 00:42:33,239
“We're the first and true
Brazilian Champions!

648
00:42:33,259 --> 00:42:35,616
We didn't collect
one single red card,

649
00:42:35,636 --> 00:42:38,806
so we're champions of
technique and discipline.”

650
00:42:42,810 --> 00:42:45,292
So we're taking the train back,

651
00:42:45,312 --> 00:42:48,837
and all that amazing fuss,
people shouting,

652
00:42:48,857 --> 00:42:51,110
people waiting for us
at the station.

653
00:42:51,318 --> 00:42:52,736
It felt so good.

654
00:42:53,237 --> 00:42:55,594
Nobody believed in us,

655
00:42:55,614 --> 00:42:57,241
people only had eyes for Botafogo.

656
00:42:58,784 --> 00:43:00,494
And then Dario scores…

657
00:43:09,169 --> 00:43:10,776
Clube Atlético Mineiro,

658
00:43:10,796 --> 00:43:14,071
Champions of the
3-times World Champion nation!

659
00:43:14,091 --> 00:43:16,156
Clube Atlético Mineiro,

660
00:43:16,176 --> 00:43:18,867
the champions of all races,

661
00:43:18,887 --> 00:43:21,495
champions of all champions,

662
00:43:21,515 --> 00:43:27,543
champions of hard work,
of endurance, of love!

663
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:30,921
Champions of Brazil!

664
00:43:30,941 --> 00:43:33,716
Atlético gave us this joy…

665
00:43:33,736 --> 00:43:35,237
"Iron Chest" Dario.

666
00:43:35,696 --> 00:43:37,678
When we arrived
at the main avenue,

667
00:43:37,698 --> 00:43:41,702
all the buses,
the party, the fireworks...

668
00:43:42,786 --> 00:43:45,289
I lived this, I did.

669
00:43:48,792 --> 00:43:51,670
But I'll live a bit more,
to see more.

670
00:44:14,610 --> 00:44:16,675
After the shady deals of 1977,

671
00:44:16,695 --> 00:44:19,740
the behind-the-scenes
manipulations kept happening.

672
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:24,058
In 1979,
when the championship rules

673
00:44:24,078 --> 00:44:25,726
were changed
during the semifinals,

674
00:44:25,746 --> 00:44:29,416
Atlético decided to leave
the National Championship.

675
00:44:32,503 --> 00:44:36,173
In 1980, Atlético
had its Golden Generation.

676
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:38,155
But, in the finals, faced

677
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:39,740
media-sponsored Flamengo,

678
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:45,015
and its squad built
by legendary TV mogul Walter Clark.

679
00:44:48,894 --> 00:44:50,959
To the dictatorship,
on its last breaths,

680
00:44:50,979 --> 00:44:54,046
the first national title
to the country's most popular team

681
00:44:54,066 --> 00:44:56,568
was music to military ears.

682
00:44:57,695 --> 00:45:00,135
Even more so
if the contender was Reinaldo

683
00:45:00,155 --> 00:45:03,367
and his defiant closed fist
in the generals' faces.

684
00:45:05,411 --> 00:45:07,101
We have the presence
of His Excellency,

685
00:45:07,121 --> 00:45:09,103
President
João Batista Figueredo,

686
00:45:09,123 --> 00:45:10,437
in the stands of Maracanã…

687
00:45:10,457 --> 00:45:11,542
“President,

688
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:14,503
which side are you on?”

689
00:45:14,753 --> 00:45:16,088
He answered like this:

690
00:45:16,505 --> 00:45:20,676
"Between the nation and a state,
I'm with the nation.”

691
00:45:22,094 --> 00:45:23,094
Meaning...

692
00:45:23,637 --> 00:45:27,391
Flamengo was ahead
from the start.

693
00:45:28,058 --> 00:45:31,478
And we kind of knew
where this was headed.

694
00:45:35,607 --> 00:45:37,609
We brought Osmar Guarnelli,

695
00:45:38,485 --> 00:45:40,237
Rômulo was a first-team
choice of mine,

696
00:45:40,529 --> 00:45:42,636
Jorge Valença came from América,

697
00:45:42,656 --> 00:45:45,889
Luizinho, an amazing
up-and-coming player,

698
00:45:45,909 --> 00:45:47,516
João as goalkeeper,

699
00:45:47,536 --> 00:45:49,538
Chicão, Cerezo,

700
00:45:50,247 --> 00:45:52,833
Palhinha and Éder...

701
00:45:53,459 --> 00:45:56,275
Reinaldo returned
during my tenure.

702
00:45:56,295 --> 00:46:00,549
This was when Dario,
always very intelligent,

703
00:46:00,883 --> 00:46:04,283
told me there couldn't be
two kings in the same squad.

704
00:46:04,303 --> 00:46:06,889
So he asked for a transfer,
as Reinaldo was coming back.

705
00:46:08,056 --> 00:46:10,601
With these guys,
the 1980 Atlético squad is,

706
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,229
in my humble opinion,

707
00:46:14,730 --> 00:46:17,065
its best team of all time.

708
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:23,510
The Brazilian Football Confederation

709
00:46:23,530 --> 00:46:28,348
used to deliberately
leave a bunch of loopholes,

710
00:46:28,368 --> 00:46:30,788
to be used conveniently.

711
00:46:31,205 --> 00:46:32,770
The first leg of the finals

712
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:34,792
should have been
in Rio de Janeiro.

713
00:46:35,167 --> 00:46:36,815
And the second leg
here in Belo Horizonte.

714
00:46:36,835 --> 00:46:39,880
But by the semifinals stage,

715
00:46:40,297 --> 00:46:42,613
they changed it and said:

716
00:46:42,633 --> 00:46:44,698
“The team with the
least amount of points

717
00:46:44,718 --> 00:46:46,929
will have home advantage
in the first leg.”

718
00:46:47,262 --> 00:46:49,745
In politics
this is called casuistry,

719
00:46:49,765 --> 00:46:52,768
and it's what they
did time and time again.

720
00:46:59,483 --> 00:47:01,485
Toninho Cerezo
setting up a play…

721
00:47:02,027 --> 00:47:03,487
Reinaldo, what a dribble!

722
00:47:05,364 --> 00:47:08,180
And Andrade hits him hard!

723
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,704
An unsettling dribble
by Reinaldo on Marinho.

724
00:47:14,289 --> 00:47:15,874
Off-the-ball foul!

725
00:47:16,208 --> 00:47:18,085
I knew Flamengo well.

726
00:47:18,877 --> 00:47:20,295
I knew their strength:

727
00:47:21,004 --> 00:47:22,089
the off-pitch.

728
00:47:25,050 --> 00:47:26,927
Luizinho, Palhinha…

729
00:47:28,262 --> 00:47:30,222
Another foul by Rondinelli.

730
00:47:33,267 --> 00:47:34,414
He complained to Romualdo,

731
00:47:34,434 --> 00:47:36,478
Romualdo threatened
to send him off.

732
00:47:36,645 --> 00:47:37,876
Romualdo Arpi Filho.

733
00:47:37,896 --> 00:47:40,379
He was a technically sound ref,

734
00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:42,401
but he also had a nickname:

735
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:44,945
"The Tiemaker".

736
00:47:45,237 --> 00:47:47,386
His games were always draws.

737
00:47:47,406 --> 00:47:50,180
In a decisive moment, Reinaldo,

738
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,453
the goalscorer from Minas,
managed to get it in.

739
00:47:54,288 --> 00:47:56,270
Thank God I managed to score one.

740
00:47:56,290 --> 00:47:58,292
They couldn't disallow that one.

741
00:48:07,968 --> 00:48:09,761
A chance for Pedrinho to cross here.

742
00:48:10,304 --> 00:48:11,763
Raul leaves his goal…

743
00:48:12,264 --> 00:48:13,307
The rebound,

744
00:48:13,724 --> 00:48:16,248
the goal is open, Cerezo…

745
00:48:16,268 --> 00:48:18,250
It hits the post!

746
00:48:18,270 --> 00:48:19,793
In the second leg in Rio,

747
00:48:19,813 --> 00:48:22,004
we knew it would be
Aragão refereeing.

748
00:48:22,024 --> 00:48:25,048
A bit of a shady character.

749
00:48:25,068 --> 00:48:27,070
He had his deals.

750
00:48:27,738 --> 00:48:29,907
That's how it goes,
how can you prove anything?

751
00:48:37,164 --> 00:48:39,124
A minute please,
guys, just a minute…

752
00:48:46,715 --> 00:48:48,280
Osmar with a clear space...

753
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:51,658
Atlético being
the aggressive side tonight.

754
00:48:51,678 --> 00:48:53,660
Flamengo gains possession,
now Zico…

755
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,539
Pass to Nunes,
he's got a chance…

756
00:48:57,559 --> 00:49:02,044
Goal! Nunes!

757
00:49:02,064 --> 00:49:04,046
Atlético attacks, Reinaldo…

758
00:49:04,066 --> 00:49:05,756
A good opportunity, left foot…

759
00:49:05,776 --> 00:49:07,778
Goal!

760
00:49:09,196 --> 00:49:11,782
Atlético Mineiro gets there!
Reinaldo!

761
00:49:12,824 --> 00:49:14,056
Reinaldo!

762
00:49:14,076 --> 00:49:16,808
Flamengo were still celebrating...

763
00:49:16,828 --> 00:49:18,894
Always him, tipping the balance!

764
00:49:18,914 --> 00:49:22,105
Inside the box, in the near post!

765
00:49:22,125 --> 00:49:24,127
It's the equalizer
here in Maracanã!

766
00:49:49,861 --> 00:49:51,510
When I had the leg strain,

767
00:49:51,530 --> 00:49:54,596
the Flamengo supporters
cheered as if they had scored.

768
00:49:54,616 --> 00:49:56,890
Reinaldo with his hand
on his right leg…

769
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,579
It looks like a thigh strain...

770
00:50:00,956 --> 00:50:03,397
Then whenever I got the ball,

771
00:50:03,417 --> 00:50:05,399
I couldn't do much,
they took it from me,

772
00:50:05,419 --> 00:50:07,504
and the chants started:
“Rotten, rotten…”.

773
00:50:11,675 --> 00:50:14,324
Nice cross from Éder,
Reinaldo is there…

774
00:50:14,344 --> 00:50:16,346
Goal!

775
00:50:21,018 --> 00:50:23,583
Goal from a one-legged man!

776
00:50:23,603 --> 00:50:26,273
How is it possible, Zé Roberto?

777
00:50:26,857 --> 00:50:29,006
Amazing Reinaldo!

778
00:50:29,026 --> 00:50:32,634
He's giving everything out there!

779
00:50:32,654 --> 00:50:34,594
Soon after I score

780
00:50:34,614 --> 00:50:37,284
what should be
the title-winning goal.

781
00:50:38,076 --> 00:50:40,787
I got rewarded.

782
00:50:45,667 --> 00:50:49,609
A completely wrong
offside is given!

783
00:50:49,629 --> 00:50:50,839
What was that call?

784
00:50:51,381 --> 00:50:53,572
That's an absurd call,

785
00:50:53,592 --> 00:50:56,283
they never should have given it,

786
00:50:56,303 --> 00:50:59,806
ending a promising
play by Atlético...

787
00:51:01,308 --> 00:51:04,666
Red card, Reinaldo!

788
00:51:04,686 --> 00:51:09,066
Reinaldo sent off
for his unsportsmanlike behavior.

789
00:51:12,069 --> 00:51:14,738
Red card to Reinaldo...

790
00:51:14,905 --> 00:51:17,471
At 23 minutes
of the second half,

791
00:51:17,491 --> 00:51:20,390
soon after a
preposterous offside call

792
00:51:20,410 --> 00:51:22,392
by Mr. Carlos Rosa Martins...

793
00:51:22,412 --> 00:51:25,270
Procópio invades the pitch,
he's charging the ref!

794
00:51:25,290 --> 00:51:28,627
The pitch is just
a massive mess right now.

795
00:51:29,294 --> 00:51:32,839
- This is vicious! Vicious!
- You're out of here!

796
00:51:34,841 --> 00:51:37,282
Procópio is sent off by Aragão,

797
00:51:37,302 --> 00:51:39,054
along with Reinaldo.

798
00:51:46,728 --> 00:51:49,898
What was done
to Reinaldo is a crime.

799
00:51:51,858 --> 00:51:53,235
A crime.

800
00:51:53,527 --> 00:51:55,612
The arbitrariness of it.

801
00:51:56,113 --> 00:52:01,264
It was a carefully
thought out act.

802
00:52:01,284 --> 00:52:03,683
It was a rash decision
to send off

803
00:52:03,703 --> 00:52:06,645
such a docile,
levelheaded player.

804
00:52:06,665 --> 00:52:09,815
I can't grasp
the reason of this red card

805
00:52:09,835 --> 00:52:12,651
after a call that harmed Atlético.

806
00:52:12,671 --> 00:52:14,131
And probably,

807
00:52:14,714 --> 00:52:16,133
with Reinaldo on the pitch,

808
00:52:16,716 --> 00:52:18,552
the game would've
ended in a draw.

809
00:52:19,094 --> 00:52:20,867
It's undeniable that,

810
00:52:20,887 --> 00:52:23,495
for a moment in Brazilian football,

811
00:52:23,515 --> 00:52:29,417
every decision was tipped
towards the Rio clubs,

812
00:52:29,437 --> 00:52:33,150
rather than other States,
that's undeniable.

813
00:52:53,336 --> 00:52:55,152
Goal!

814
00:52:55,172 --> 00:52:58,446
Flamengo!

815
00:52:58,466 --> 00:53:00,198
It's ours, baby!

816
00:53:00,218 --> 00:53:04,828
We're the real deal!
Through to the final!

817
00:53:04,848 --> 00:53:08,290
Flamengo takes the lead in Mineirão!

818
00:53:08,310 --> 00:53:12,043
The Galo supporters
start to chant “I believe”,

819
00:53:12,063 --> 00:53:14,921
but let me say something:
“I doubt it!”

820
00:53:14,941 --> 00:53:17,465
Flamengo is on their way
to the final!

821
00:53:17,485 --> 00:53:20,552
Atlético needs to score four now…

822
00:53:20,572 --> 00:53:23,180
A bit hard, huh?
Not in this life!

823
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:29,206
I believe! I believe!

824
00:53:31,583 --> 00:53:34,983
The human being has
this crazy bond with pain.

825
00:53:35,003 --> 00:53:37,527
When I see Galo supporters,

826
00:53:37,547 --> 00:53:40,113
this bond is written
all over us.

827
00:53:40,133 --> 00:53:43,116
We're not cast in defeat,

828
00:53:43,136 --> 00:53:45,118
but in acts of injustice.

829
00:53:45,138 --> 00:53:47,662
And injustice is so powerful.

830
00:53:47,682 --> 00:53:51,416
If you're unjust to any group,

831
00:53:51,436 --> 00:53:53,418
any human group,

832
00:53:53,438 --> 00:53:55,295
this group will grow so strong,

833
00:53:55,315 --> 00:53:57,297
it will unite,

834
00:53:57,317 --> 00:54:00,717
it will find an improbable power,

835
00:54:00,737 --> 00:54:02,719
and get back at you.

836
00:54:02,739 --> 00:54:05,472
Douglas Santos on the left flank,

837
00:54:05,492 --> 00:54:07,869
he centers the ball,
it's a chance!

838
00:54:07,994 --> 00:54:08,994
Goal!

839
00:54:17,379 --> 00:54:20,320
Galo scores the first

840
00:54:20,340 --> 00:54:25,804
and now needs
three more, tonight in Mineirão!

841
00:54:52,580 --> 00:54:55,083
Galo!

842
00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:58,169
Galo!

843
00:54:58,628 --> 00:55:01,214
Galo!

844
00:55:04,759 --> 00:55:06,678
Galo!

845
00:55:10,307 --> 00:55:11,538
Atlético attacks hastily,

846
00:55:11,558 --> 00:55:14,749
passes the ball around
but can't find space.

847
00:55:14,769 --> 00:55:16,751
Flamengo is parking the bus.

848
00:55:16,771 --> 00:55:19,316
The team from Minas
races against the clock.

849
00:55:21,234 --> 00:55:24,009
Dátolo with a chance to score,
he shoots…

850
00:55:24,029 --> 00:55:25,488
Goal!

851
00:55:39,711 --> 00:55:45,759
I believe! I believe!

852
00:55:51,306 --> 00:55:54,331
There's still time,
and the chanting grows!

853
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:56,728
This crowd here believes.

854
00:56:13,036 --> 00:56:16,289
Goal! Goal!

855
00:56:33,056 --> 00:56:41,022
Goal!

856
00:56:42,315 --> 00:56:45,443
<i>Oh oh! This rooster is on fire!</i>

857
00:56:52,534 --> 00:56:55,767
Flamengo is dead and harmless,

858
00:56:55,787 --> 00:56:59,082
Atlético steamrolled them
tonight in Mineirão.

859
00:57:07,424 --> 00:57:11,282
Luan's goal in that
4-1 win against Flamengo,

860
00:57:11,302 --> 00:57:12,909
that goal was Reinaldo's.

861
00:57:12,929 --> 00:57:15,745
It was him and his injured leg.

862
00:57:15,765 --> 00:57:19,749
Dátolo's goal was
actually an Éder left foot.

863
00:57:19,769 --> 00:57:22,210
The players of that 4-1 win

864
00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:27,215
were representing their
pairs from the 1980s squad.

865
00:57:27,235 --> 00:57:29,342
The president was not Alexandre,

866
00:57:29,362 --> 00:57:33,304
but his father Elias,
redeeming himself that night.

867
00:57:33,324 --> 00:57:35,869
That was spectacular. Historic.

868
00:57:37,871 --> 00:57:40,603
Galo supporters
have two tales to tell

869
00:57:40,623 --> 00:57:42,605
about that Brazil Cup

870
00:57:42,625 --> 00:57:45,253
that are greater than any title.

871
00:57:46,838 --> 00:57:50,550
They came back against Corinthians,

872
00:57:51,384 --> 00:57:53,074
losing the first leg 2-0.

873
00:57:53,094 --> 00:57:55,096
Losing by 3-0 on aggregate!

874
00:57:56,723 --> 00:57:59,080
Then they came back against Flamengo,

875
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:01,082
losing the first leg 2-0.

876
00:58:01,102 --> 00:58:03,104
Losing by 3-0 on aggregate!

877
00:58:03,438 --> 00:58:06,774
Losing memorable matches.

878
00:58:08,151 --> 00:58:09,486
All pointed to another defeat.

879
00:58:10,487 --> 00:58:11,779
But no, 4-1.

880
00:58:12,322 --> 00:58:14,471
This is a feeling,
rather than a rational thing.

881
00:58:14,491 --> 00:58:16,493
It's something
beyond rationality.

882
00:58:33,259 --> 00:58:34,532
With all due respect,

883
00:58:34,552 --> 00:58:36,993
I didn't enjoy playing the small clubs

884
00:58:37,013 --> 00:58:38,620
like Democratas or Valadares.

885
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,664
I actually enjoyed facing Cruzeiro,
Flamengo, Corinthians,

886
00:58:41,684 --> 00:58:44,542
these are the games
you have to be at your best.

887
00:58:44,562 --> 00:58:46,189
Physical, tough games.

888
00:58:46,314 --> 00:58:51,257
But the rivalry with Cruzeiro
was particularly heated.

889
00:58:51,277 --> 00:58:53,279
A lot of brawling
back in my day.

890
00:58:53,696 --> 00:58:56,262
And that 1980s Atlético squad,

891
00:58:56,282 --> 00:58:58,264
we demolished
Cruzeiro every time.

892
00:58:58,284 --> 00:59:00,266
It wasn't even a competition.

893
00:59:00,286 --> 00:59:03,853
Our team was far superior.

894
00:59:03,873 --> 00:59:05,094
Éder shoots!

895
00:59:05,115 --> 00:59:06,876
Goal!

896
00:59:09,254 --> 00:59:12,924
What a goal by the winger Éder!

897
00:59:13,716 --> 00:59:15,406
Renato on the left flank,

898
00:59:15,426 --> 00:59:18,117
good first touch,
there's the tackle...

899
00:59:18,137 --> 00:59:19,661
Toninho Cerezo has a clean shot!

900
00:59:19,681 --> 00:59:21,412
Goal!

901
00:59:21,432 --> 00:59:23,581
I started in the youth system
at 10 years old,

902
00:59:23,601 --> 00:59:27,313
the rivalry is already there,
it's amazing.

903
00:59:28,731 --> 00:59:31,589
And I've always
been fortunate against Cruzeiro.

904
00:59:31,609 --> 00:59:33,591
Always performing well,

905
00:59:33,611 --> 00:59:37,365
always with good results
against them.

906
00:59:41,119 --> 00:59:45,770
The chairman's salary
is the joy of the supporters.

907
00:59:45,790 --> 00:59:48,314
And this year we can proudly say,

908
00:59:48,334 --> 00:59:49,899
Atlético was champions
on every level,

909
00:59:49,919 --> 00:59:52,171
from U-15s, U-18s,
U-20s to professional.

910
00:59:54,299 --> 00:59:55,449
Was it worth it?

911
00:59:55,470 --> 00:59:57,448
You bet it was!

912
00:59:57,468 --> 00:59:59,450
Doesn't the rain
dampen the enthusiasm?

913
00:59:59,470 --> 01:00:01,139
No, it's all good!

914
01:00:09,188 --> 01:00:13,131
The Atlético supporter
is their greatest heritage.

915
01:00:13,151 --> 01:00:16,593
It's not us, the players,
we're temporary.

916
01:00:16,613 --> 01:00:18,948
Atlético's greatest asset
is its supporters.

917
01:00:19,490 --> 01:00:23,411
It makes me shiver
just talking about it.

918
01:00:23,703 --> 01:00:26,102
They really make a difference.

919
01:00:26,122 --> 01:00:29,105
The overlap and cross, he shoots…

920
01:00:29,125 --> 01:00:31,127
Goal!

921
01:00:36,466 --> 01:00:37,989
Atlético!

922
01:00:38,009 --> 01:00:40,283
When my first daughter was born,

923
01:00:40,303 --> 01:00:42,305
I was playing for Cruzeiro.

924
01:00:42,722 --> 01:00:44,537
And by pure coincidence,

925
01:00:44,557 --> 01:00:46,539
every game I took her to

926
01:00:46,559 --> 01:00:50,126
the Atlético supporters
were always packing Mineirão.

927
01:00:50,146 --> 01:00:54,255
And she was stunned
by that, the chanting, the flags...

928
01:00:54,275 --> 01:00:57,091
So they decided
to support Atlético then,

929
01:00:57,111 --> 01:01:01,699
because of that
display of love from the stands.

930
01:01:06,871 --> 01:01:08,353
The Mineirão...

931
01:01:08,373 --> 01:01:09,687
It trembled.

932
01:01:09,707 --> 01:01:11,709
That feeling...

933
01:01:15,380 --> 01:01:16,631
It fucks you up.

934
01:01:19,050 --> 01:01:20,218
It fucks you up.

935
01:01:35,191 --> 01:01:38,653
I usually say that the Atleticano
should be examined…

936
01:01:40,321 --> 01:01:42,887
By NASA, by scientists really,

937
01:01:42,907 --> 01:01:45,807
it's not a task for
a cheap psychologist.

938
01:01:45,827 --> 01:01:48,601
When we pack the clubhouse
for Atlético's foundation date,

939
01:01:48,621 --> 01:01:51,020
even if we didn't win anything,
why do we do it?

940
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,022
Why do we attend
youth system games

941
01:01:53,042 --> 01:01:55,191
and cheer the little boys on
like they were our sons?

942
01:01:55,211 --> 01:01:58,653
There's no reason
for us to do all this.

943
01:01:58,673 --> 01:02:01,050
I guess we're like this because…

944
01:02:03,386 --> 01:02:05,243
Maybe it's better
to shoot another movie

945
01:02:05,263 --> 01:02:06,285
200 years from now,

946
01:02:06,305 --> 01:02:08,287
and look for an answer then.

947
01:02:08,307 --> 01:02:10,790
All I know is that
when I meet the big guy up there

948
01:02:10,810 --> 01:02:12,812
I'll thank him
for making me this way.

949
01:02:19,235 --> 01:02:22,009
We're not a cup-winning team.

950
01:02:22,029 --> 01:02:23,970
We're a team of honor,

951
01:02:23,990 --> 01:02:26,514
a team of guts, of tradition.

952
01:02:26,534 --> 01:02:28,224
Another cup in the cabinet?

953
01:02:28,244 --> 01:02:30,226
Big fucking deal.

954
01:02:30,246 --> 01:02:33,124
I'm Atleticano,
I don't care for Libertadores.

955
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,106
I'm a martyr.

956
01:02:35,126 --> 01:02:38,109
I'm that guy who's debating
football with a Cruzeiro supporter

957
01:02:38,129 --> 01:02:40,715
and I manage to drive him mad
without even winning anything.

958
01:02:43,468 --> 01:02:45,970
The Cruzeiro supporter
used to look at us with jealousy.

959
01:02:47,263 --> 01:02:49,162
"How these motherfuckers
with no titles

960
01:02:49,182 --> 01:02:51,184
are still in love
with this damn club?"

961
01:02:52,143 --> 01:02:54,270
"And now they are
actually winning stuff."

962
01:02:55,813 --> 01:03:01,090
A really unforgettable,
memorable night

963
01:03:01,110 --> 01:03:03,760
for Atlético and Cruzeiro.

964
01:03:03,780 --> 01:03:06,429
For the first time in 93 years,

965
01:03:06,449 --> 01:03:08,848
they are, for the first time,

966
01:03:08,868 --> 01:03:12,622
facing each other
for a national title.

967
01:03:34,977 --> 01:03:37,668
We had already beaten
Corinthians and Flamengo

968
01:03:37,688 --> 01:03:40,004
with two unbelievable comebacks.

969
01:03:40,024 --> 01:03:41,214
Like they say,

970
01:03:41,234 --> 01:03:43,528
“It's not a miracle,
it's just Atlético Mineiro.”

971
01:03:44,570 --> 01:03:47,845
To crown the title
of this Cup of Cups,

972
01:03:47,865 --> 01:03:50,701
the final match could only be
against Cruzeiro.

973
01:03:52,453 --> 01:03:54,018
The script was perfect,

974
01:03:54,038 --> 01:03:56,020
pride against vanity,

975
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,669
in our first national finals
against our rivals.

976
01:04:00,962 --> 01:04:03,694
We're addicted
to this unhinged feeling,

977
01:04:03,714 --> 01:04:06,259
to this almost inevitable
heart attack.

978
01:04:07,260 --> 01:04:09,992
And we even wanted
another epic triumph,

979
01:04:10,012 --> 01:04:12,014
but Cruzeiro spoiled everything...

980
01:04:13,558 --> 01:04:16,602
It was so easy that
it almost got boring.

981
01:04:40,751 --> 01:04:43,276
And these days,
when life gets rough,

982
01:04:43,296 --> 01:04:44,610
the Atleticano says:

983
01:04:44,630 --> 01:04:46,612
“It's OK.
If life was supposed to be easy,

984
01:04:46,632 --> 01:04:50,052
it would be a never-ending final
against Cruzeiro."

985
01:04:53,973 --> 01:04:56,100
Marcos Rocha then Dátolo, who shoots...

986
01:05:06,527 --> 01:05:08,384
3-0 in the aggregate.

987
01:05:08,404 --> 01:05:10,031
Not to mention the thrashing!

988
01:05:10,531 --> 01:05:14,952
Let's hear the
1854 Atleticanos present today!

989
01:05:15,620 --> 01:05:17,830
The guys are tuned up!

990
01:05:37,725 --> 01:05:45,725
Galo are champions of the 2014 Brazil Cup!

991
01:06:08,214 --> 01:06:10,383
<i>Oh, it's Galoucura!</i>

992
01:06:11,926 --> 01:06:14,053
<i>Oh! It's Galoucura!</i>

993
01:06:23,896 --> 01:06:27,254
<i>The team of blacks
From the favelas</i>

994
01:06:27,274 --> 01:06:31,092
<i>And when they play
We pack the Mineirão</i>

995
01:06:31,112 --> 01:06:34,261
<i>The team of blacks
From the favelas</i>

996
01:06:34,281 --> 01:06:37,723
<i>And when they play
We pack the Mineirão</i>

997
01:06:37,743 --> 01:06:41,143
<i>The team of blacks
From the favelas</i>

998
01:06:41,163 --> 01:06:44,583
<i>And when they play
We pack the Mineirão</i>

999
01:07:18,909 --> 01:07:23,622
But Mineirão seems to be
jinxed or something.

1000
01:07:24,206 --> 01:07:28,899
And there,
nothing seemed to go right for us.

1001
01:07:28,919 --> 01:07:31,110
Alex is onside,
it's him against Taffarel,

1002
01:07:31,130 --> 01:07:32,653
he'll take his chance, shoots...

1003
01:07:32,673 --> 01:07:33,674
Goal...

1004
01:07:34,008 --> 01:07:35,740
We blame the curse,

1005
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,116
the Football Confederation,

1006
01:07:37,136 --> 01:07:39,263
the teams from Rio,
from São Paulo…

1007
01:07:42,183 --> 01:07:43,497
We blame God,

1008
01:07:43,517 --> 01:07:48,731
who was never there
to save us from these demons.

1009
01:07:50,149 --> 01:07:53,194
Even the stats seemed to mock us:

1010
01:07:54,278 --> 01:07:55,885
During the 1980s and 1990s,

1011
01:07:55,905 --> 01:07:58,512
we reached the national semifinals
eight times

1012
01:07:58,532 --> 01:08:00,056
and the finals twice.

1013
01:08:00,076 --> 01:08:03,392
There's a cross from the byline,
it finds Guilherme...

1014
01:08:03,412 --> 01:08:04,518
Goal!

1015
01:08:04,538 --> 01:08:06,103
We won none of them.

1016
01:08:06,123 --> 01:08:08,355
Marques is out
of the game, correct?

1017
01:08:08,375 --> 01:08:11,859
That's right, he got injured
near the corner flag,

1018
01:08:11,879 --> 01:08:13,152
he's out...

1019
01:08:13,172 --> 01:08:14,862
He fires a long shot...

1020
01:08:14,882 --> 01:08:16,258
Goal...

1021
01:08:22,014 --> 01:08:25,331
It's true, we were champions
of the Conmebol Cup

1022
01:08:25,351 --> 01:08:27,353
in 1992 and 1997.

1023
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:34,924
Two international titles

1024
01:08:34,944 --> 01:08:38,052
that are equivalent
to today's Copa Sulamericana.

1025
01:08:38,072 --> 01:08:41,013
The cross comes in,
Valdir is there...

1026
01:08:41,033 --> 01:08:44,475
Goal! Goal! Goal!

1027
01:08:44,495 --> 01:08:48,145
Needless to say,
these games were always packed,

1028
01:08:48,165 --> 01:08:51,816
and we went in pilgrimage
to see the cups in our clubhouse.

1029
01:08:51,836 --> 01:08:55,089
We celebrated as if it was a World Cup!

1030
01:08:55,589 --> 01:08:58,467
But the Gods owed us
much more than that.

1031
01:08:58,717 --> 01:09:00,407
And we charged interest.

1032
01:09:00,427 --> 01:09:02,888
And we kept trying
to collect this debt.

1033
01:09:05,099 --> 01:09:08,999
But the Gods would rather
have a bad credit score

1034
01:09:09,019 --> 01:09:11,021
than settle this with us.

1035
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,381
The 2000s arrived,
and we were fucked,

1036
01:09:15,401 --> 01:09:20,281
thrashed, up to our necks in debt...

1037
01:09:20,906 --> 01:09:22,429
We had seen everything.

1038
01:09:22,449 --> 01:09:24,451
Well, not everything.

1039
01:09:24,702 --> 01:09:25,995
We hadn't seen the worst.

1040
01:09:27,413 --> 01:09:29,562
Our relegation match
was against Vasco.

1041
01:09:29,582 --> 01:09:32,273
Five games to go,
Atlético needed five wins.

1042
01:09:32,293 --> 01:09:33,586
We won three.

1043
01:09:34,420 --> 01:09:35,860
The fourth was against Vasco,

1044
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,486
we drew them and got relegated.

1045
01:09:37,506 --> 01:09:39,864
The first Brazilian Champion

1046
01:09:39,884 --> 01:09:41,949
is relegated to the Second Division,

1047
01:09:41,969 --> 01:09:46,056
but the 46 thousand supporters
are clapping and cheering.

1048
01:09:46,348 --> 01:09:50,249
What a display of love from them.

1049
01:09:50,269 --> 01:09:54,003
And they're singing Atlético's anthem!

1050
01:09:54,023 --> 01:09:57,631
This scene makes you shiver...

1051
01:09:57,651 --> 01:09:59,945
What a beautiful moment.

1052
01:10:00,404 --> 01:10:03,741
What a beautiful moment
here in Mineirão.

1053
01:10:10,039 --> 01:10:11,039
It hurts.

1054
01:10:11,540 --> 01:10:14,335
But I believe every big club
eventually gets relegated.

1055
01:10:14,585 --> 01:10:19,048
But in order to bounce back
as beautifully as Atlético did,

1056
01:10:19,632 --> 01:10:22,134
you have to have something
off-pitch called “fans”.

1057
01:10:27,389 --> 01:10:29,371
There was this
question mark on our hands,

1058
01:10:29,391 --> 01:10:30,789
“How will it be from now on?”

1059
01:10:30,809 --> 01:10:34,418
But then we saw
the same Mineirão trembling

1060
01:10:34,438 --> 01:10:36,420
in the Second Division,

1061
01:10:36,440 --> 01:10:37,630
when the TV stations

1062
01:10:37,650 --> 01:10:39,798
had to broadcast Galo games
in the second tier,

1063
01:10:39,818 --> 01:10:42,801
and the sports press
had to talk about us,

1064
01:10:42,821 --> 01:10:44,970
and the TV pundits too,

1065
01:10:44,990 --> 01:10:48,515
often ignoring the first tier
so they could talk about us...

1066
01:10:48,535 --> 01:10:49,975
Then the question mark

1067
01:10:49,995 --> 01:10:51,769
became a big exclamation mark:

1068
01:10:51,789 --> 01:10:53,332
“Galo is still badass!”

1069
01:10:56,961 --> 01:10:59,151
We're not fair weather fans,

1070
01:10:59,171 --> 01:11:00,547
we have history.

1071
01:11:05,344 --> 01:11:08,764
“I'll only attend
when the team is on a roll”?

1072
01:11:09,473 --> 01:11:10,766
No.

1073
01:11:11,141 --> 01:11:15,084
In the worst moments
of Atlético's history,

1074
01:11:15,104 --> 01:11:17,106
I was there with my peers.

1075
01:11:17,690 --> 01:11:18,817
Get it?

1076
01:11:18,838 --> 01:11:20,631
As well as everyone.

1077
01:11:20,651 --> 01:11:28,651
Ole ole ole ole!

1078
01:11:30,202 --> 01:11:33,519
I'll leave the Second Division!

1079
01:11:33,539 --> 01:11:34,937
At last!

1080
01:11:34,957 --> 01:11:37,481
The paper had a photo
of me crying last year,

1081
01:11:37,501 --> 01:11:39,233
now they are tears of happiness!

1082
01:11:39,253 --> 01:11:41,318
We managed to recover Atlético
in the first year,

1083
01:11:41,338 --> 01:11:43,529
we're back to the top flight now,

1084
01:11:43,549 --> 01:11:45,467
from where
we should have never left.

1085
01:12:11,493 --> 01:12:13,537
Atlético has a repertoire of prayers.

1086
01:12:14,913 --> 01:12:17,750
We pray collectively.

1087
01:12:19,585 --> 01:12:21,295
Our faith is unshakable.

1088
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,861
We're always winners,

1089
01:12:23,881 --> 01:12:26,947
because we don't
need numbers to win.

1090
01:12:26,967 --> 01:12:30,137
Our victory is
being born Atleticanos.

1091
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:56,477
Atlético was an indebted club,

1092
01:12:56,497 --> 01:12:59,897
we hit the papers
in the crime section...

1093
01:12:59,917 --> 01:13:01,899
Yeah...
Anyway.

1094
01:13:01,919 --> 01:13:04,526
But then...

1095
01:13:04,546 --> 01:13:06,528
A madman came around.

1096
01:13:06,548 --> 01:13:10,677
An Atletico supporter
called Alexandre Kalil.

1097
01:13:14,390 --> 01:13:16,789
The Atlético fan is,
above all, fair.

1098
01:13:16,809 --> 01:13:19,875
In our worst moments,
they were just to me.

1099
01:13:19,895 --> 01:13:23,899
How many times we were
on the verge of being relegated,

1100
01:13:24,483 --> 01:13:26,235
but they came to me saying:

1101
01:13:27,152 --> 01:13:28,404
“It's not your fault.”

1102
01:13:28,904 --> 01:13:31,261
And it was, I was the chief,

1103
01:13:31,281 --> 01:13:32,741
I knew it was.

1104
01:13:33,700 --> 01:13:37,162
The supporters
always protected me.

1105
01:13:39,540 --> 01:13:41,458
Even if there weren't
titles or anything.

1106
01:13:42,167 --> 01:13:45,003
The supporters' love for me

1107
01:13:45,838 --> 01:13:51,718
comes from how they perceive
my affection and care for the club.

1108
01:13:52,428 --> 01:13:55,055
It's not about
this or that title.

1109
01:13:56,265 --> 01:13:58,475
It's a feeling of protection.

1110
01:14:00,811 --> 01:14:03,439
And for the past 6 years
I've been wondering about this.

1111
01:14:06,150 --> 01:14:08,277
<i>Now I'll send a message.</i>

1112
01:14:09,778 --> 01:14:11,844
<i>To Brazil and to the world.</i>

1113
01:14:11,864 --> 01:14:13,846
<i>You know who
just arrived at Galo?</i>

1114
01:14:13,866 --> 01:14:15,931
<i>Ronaldinho Gaúcho!</i>

1115
01:14:15,951 --> 01:14:17,953
Look at that...

1116
01:14:18,370 --> 01:14:20,561
Ronaldinho Gaúcho
in Belo Horizonte.

1117
01:14:20,581 --> 01:14:24,231
Already wearing his
training gear...

1118
01:14:24,251 --> 01:14:26,233
Atlético and Kalil
just don't learn.

1119
01:14:26,253 --> 01:14:30,070
In 2009 and 2010,
after two good years,

1120
01:14:30,090 --> 01:14:32,072
they decide to hire Luxemburgo,

1121
01:14:32,092 --> 01:14:35,284
rebuild the whole squad,
and almost got relegated.

1122
01:14:35,304 --> 01:14:39,413
And now again,
State champions under Cuca,

1123
01:14:39,433 --> 01:14:41,832
they may have signed with a diva,

1124
01:14:41,852 --> 01:14:44,418
and who knows
what will happen with the team.

1125
01:14:44,438 --> 01:14:46,420
That's crazy, Kalil!

1126
01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:47,838
You went mad!

1127
01:14:47,858 --> 01:14:49,860
People say that I'm crazy,

1128
01:14:51,069 --> 01:14:52,843
but turning down
Ronaldinho Gaúcho,

1129
01:14:52,863 --> 01:14:54,490
I'm not on that
level of madness.

1130
01:14:54,959 --> 01:14:55,971
See?

1131
01:14:55,992 --> 01:14:58,662
I'm only half crazy, not 100%.

1132
01:15:57,761 --> 01:15:58,825
The Galo supporters…

1133
01:15:58,845 --> 01:16:02,955
Anyone who ever played here...
It makes you shiver.

1134
01:16:02,975 --> 01:16:04,498
My mother got sick,

1135
01:16:04,518 --> 01:16:05,958
so they made that flag,

1136
01:16:05,978 --> 01:16:06,978
when it unfurled…

1137
01:16:07,145 --> 01:16:08,814
My mother's face on it...

1138
01:16:10,649 --> 01:16:11,690
Yup...

1139
01:16:11,711 --> 01:16:13,549
"They embraced me", I said.

1140
01:16:13,569 --> 01:16:15,529
"Now I'm with them
for the long haul."

1141
01:16:18,657 --> 01:16:20,931
Ronaldinho has a break,

1142
01:16:20,951 --> 01:16:22,849
Júnior César is unmarked,

1143
01:16:22,869 --> 01:16:24,017
he decided to do it himself,

1144
01:16:24,037 --> 01:16:25,394
right feet on the ball…

1145
01:16:25,414 --> 01:16:27,416
Goal!

1146
01:16:41,013 --> 01:16:42,369
When the opportunity arrived,

1147
01:16:42,389 --> 01:16:44,037
after so many years.

1148
01:16:44,057 --> 01:16:47,499
We were finally
back to Libertadores,

1149
01:16:47,519 --> 01:16:50,272
with Ronaldinho at the
helm and everything...

1150
01:16:51,064 --> 01:16:52,064
I said:

1151
01:16:52,357 --> 01:16:54,735
“This was the moment
we waited for our entire lives.”

1152
01:16:55,110 --> 01:16:56,194
Our entire lives.

1153
01:16:57,446 --> 01:16:59,428
Having a player of that caliber,

1154
01:16:59,448 --> 01:17:01,430
back in Libertadores,

1155
01:17:01,450 --> 01:17:03,098
and with a good squad.

1156
01:17:03,118 --> 01:17:06,538
Runner-ups in the previous year
National Championship.

1157
01:17:49,206 --> 01:17:52,105
After 13 years absent
from a Libertadores edition,

1158
01:17:52,125 --> 01:17:53,940
Atlético finished first of their group,

1159
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:55,962
with the best overall campaign.

1160
01:17:56,129 --> 01:17:58,465
Nobody was a match for us.

1161
01:18:14,398 --> 01:18:15,754
In the round-of-16,

1162
01:18:15,774 --> 01:18:17,839
Galo triumphed against
São Paulo 4-1,

1163
01:18:17,859 --> 01:18:20,070
in one of their
most memorable matches ever.

1164
01:18:22,364 --> 01:18:23,595
A payback on the club

1165
01:18:23,615 --> 01:18:25,617
that stole the
1977 championship from us.

1166
01:18:28,453 --> 01:18:30,268
The wind blew in our favor now,

1167
01:18:30,288 --> 01:18:32,229
and the black and white jersey

1168
01:18:32,249 --> 01:18:34,626
was proudly worn
around the city.

1169
01:18:38,004 --> 01:18:41,029
But life is a roller coaster
for the Atleticano.

1170
01:18:41,049 --> 01:18:43,844
If you can make it harder,
why make it easy?

1171
01:18:44,970 --> 01:18:48,245
By then, we couldn't imagine

1172
01:18:48,265 --> 01:18:50,706
that ahead of us
was one of the most thrilling

1173
01:18:50,726 --> 01:18:52,728
cup runs in football history.

1174
01:18:55,272 --> 01:18:57,274
A story that you hear and think,

1175
01:18:58,066 --> 01:19:00,026
“They should do
a movie about it.”

1176
01:19:09,327 --> 01:19:11,705
<i>Take the game to them, Galo!</i>

1177
01:19:42,527 --> 01:19:45,302
It's hard to be heard here,

1178
01:19:45,322 --> 01:19:48,805
the noise and chanting
are so intense that

1179
01:19:48,825 --> 01:19:50,515
it makes it hard
to hear each other.

1180
01:19:50,535 --> 01:19:52,913
That match had
a different atmosphere.

1181
01:19:53,538 --> 01:19:55,874
I find it hard to explain
exactly what it was.

1182
01:19:57,292 --> 01:19:58,523
I recall that...

1183
01:19:58,543 --> 01:20:01,193
The first minutes of the match

1184
01:20:01,213 --> 01:20:04,007
already hinted how that match
was going to play out.

1185
01:20:04,466 --> 01:20:06,009
How the 90 minutes would be.

1186
01:21:01,731 --> 01:21:03,213
The second half started,

1187
01:21:03,233 --> 01:21:05,694
and things were looking grim to us.

1188
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,975
Tijuana managed to get a break

1189
01:21:14,995 --> 01:21:16,977
and it was a 2-on-1 against me,

1190
01:21:16,997 --> 01:21:19,332
I managed to stop
the striker from finishing it.

1191
01:21:30,635 --> 01:21:32,178
Then there's the key moment.

1192
01:21:57,078 --> 01:21:59,394
I like to record the supporters
during the games,

1193
01:21:59,414 --> 01:22:01,291
so I always have
my back turned to the pitch.

1194
01:22:01,333 --> 01:22:02,647
And that was the first time

1195
01:22:02,667 --> 01:22:04,858
I couldn't bring myself
to record something in a match.

1196
01:22:04,878 --> 01:22:08,465
And it was my father's birthday,
he's a Cruzeiro supporter.

1197
01:22:08,506 --> 01:22:10,238
I kept thinking about
what he used to say:

1198
01:22:10,258 --> 01:22:12,073
"You'll never manage
to win anything,

1199
01:22:12,093 --> 01:22:14,409
Atlético always gets beaten
in the end,

1200
01:22:14,429 --> 01:22:16,244
you always find a way
to screw up."

1201
01:22:16,264 --> 01:22:19,768
And as it was his birthday,
I kept hearing his voice in my head.

1202
01:22:19,935 --> 01:22:23,835
It was the right call.
This is just terribly unfortunate...

1203
01:22:23,855 --> 01:22:26,254
He still has to take it,
now it's up to Victor…

1204
01:22:26,274 --> 01:22:28,256
For God's sake, I can't believe it...

1205
01:22:28,276 --> 01:22:30,528
It had “Atletico” written all over it.

1206
01:22:30,946 --> 01:22:35,033
Conceding a last-minute goal like that.

1207
01:22:35,533 --> 01:22:37,827
How many times
didn't we have a better team and,

1208
01:22:38,286 --> 01:22:41,269
when it mattered,
it didn't go our way?

1209
01:22:41,289 --> 01:22:45,794
Against Portuguesa in 1996,
São Caetano in 2001...

1210
01:22:46,711 --> 01:22:49,069
How am I supposed
to go live after this,

1211
01:22:49,089 --> 01:22:51,029
to talk about it on TV?

1212
01:22:51,049 --> 01:22:53,490
I'd have to talk about it!

1213
01:22:53,510 --> 01:22:56,910
I'd have to say that
Atletico disappointed,

1214
01:22:56,930 --> 01:22:58,912
played horribly and deserved to lose.

1215
01:22:58,932 --> 01:23:00,413
It's up to you, Victor!

1216
01:23:00,433 --> 01:23:01,623
It's up to you!

1217
01:23:01,643 --> 01:23:05,355
The ref will end the match after this.
92nd minute.

1218
01:23:07,857 --> 01:23:11,277
I tried to keep my feet on the line
until the last moment,

1219
01:23:13,279 --> 01:23:15,448
to make it harder for Riascos.

1220
01:23:20,161 --> 01:23:21,413
He ran…

1221
01:23:40,932 --> 01:23:45,395
Saved by Victor!

1222
01:23:46,563 --> 01:23:48,982
Saved by Victor!

1223
01:23:49,441 --> 01:23:50,880
It's a goal!

1224
01:23:50,900 --> 01:23:53,633
It's a goal!
It's a goal for Galo!

1225
01:23:53,653 --> 01:23:56,656
Victor! Victor! Victor!

1226
01:23:58,074 --> 01:24:00,640
<i>He's the best keeper in Brazil!</i>

1227
01:24:00,660 --> 01:24:01,725
<i>Victor!</i>

1228
01:24:01,745 --> 01:24:04,144
<i>Go damn!</i>

1229
01:24:04,164 --> 01:24:06,479
<i>He's the best keeper in Brazil!</i>

1230
01:24:06,499 --> 01:24:07,499
<i>Victor!</i>

1231
01:24:46,372 --> 01:24:49,731
From a certain point in time,

1232
01:24:49,751 --> 01:24:53,755
maybe even before
that one game against Tijuana,

1233
01:24:54,422 --> 01:24:57,383
I began to visualize
the Libertadores title, like...

1234
01:24:58,885 --> 01:25:00,470
Just around the corner.

1235
01:25:01,137 --> 01:25:04,370
But we kept losing
the away games by 2-0,

1236
01:25:04,390 --> 01:25:06,392
always needing to bounce back at home,

1237
01:25:06,851 --> 01:25:09,334
I used to say:
"But people, I...

1238
01:25:09,354 --> 01:25:12,420
I foresaw it, I visualized
us winning this Libertadores!"

1239
01:25:12,440 --> 01:25:14,923
But there we were,
losing to Newell's, 2-0.

1240
01:25:14,943 --> 01:25:16,903
Goal!

1241
01:25:19,989 --> 01:25:22,700
Newell's Old Boys!

1242
01:25:23,743 --> 01:25:26,601
Atlético now needs
to win the next leg by 3-0

1243
01:25:26,621 --> 01:25:30,438
if they want to go through
this round without a penalty shootout.

1244
01:25:30,458 --> 01:25:32,460
3-0 or more.

1245
01:26:07,704 --> 01:26:09,936
Within 3 minutes,
Bernard scored the goal,

1246
01:26:09,956 --> 01:26:14,711
and I think that this cleared our
perspective to reverse the outcome.

1247
01:26:30,768 --> 01:26:33,793
This was a tricky match for us,

1248
01:26:33,813 --> 01:26:37,505
I recall our difficulty
to penetrate Newell's defense,

1249
01:26:37,525 --> 01:26:39,694
they were parking the bus.

1250
01:26:40,945 --> 01:26:43,094
The lights are going off, huh?

1251
01:26:43,114 --> 01:26:46,389
Yes, a lot of them are off.

1252
01:26:46,409 --> 01:26:50,226
At the 77th minute mark,
the pitch is dark…

1253
01:26:50,246 --> 01:26:52,145
Victor's goal is completely dark...

1254
01:26:52,165 --> 01:26:55,460
Almost all lights are off by now...

1255
01:27:00,757 --> 01:27:01,841
It was God.

1256
01:27:02,050 --> 01:27:04,010
God shut off the electrical panel.

1257
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,827
Galo was suffering to find a breach
in the Argentinian defense,

1258
01:27:07,847 --> 01:27:10,705
and desperately needed one more goal

1259
01:27:10,725 --> 01:27:13,603
to take the semifinal
to a penalty shootout.

1260
01:27:14,395 --> 01:27:17,587
A power outage
left the stadium in the dark,

1261
01:27:17,607 --> 01:27:19,067
interrupting the match.

1262
01:27:19,817 --> 01:27:21,069
It was then,

1263
01:27:21,402 --> 01:27:22,759
under the veil of night,

1264
01:27:22,779 --> 01:27:26,032
that the mantra that lives
inside our soul was invented.

1265
01:27:26,824 --> 01:27:34,791
I believe!

1266
01:27:42,423 --> 01:27:44,489
Look what a beautiful message,

1267
01:27:44,509 --> 01:27:46,261
while the light
doesn't come back.

1268
01:27:52,225 --> 01:27:53,581
This might be the light

1269
01:27:53,601 --> 01:27:55,603
at the end of the tunnel for Atletico...

1270
01:27:56,938 --> 01:27:58,628
Marcos Rocha throws it into the box,

1271
01:27:58,648 --> 01:28:03,383
the defender clears the ball,
another cross,

1272
01:28:03,403 --> 01:28:06,094
the ball rebounds to Guilherme,
he hits it…

1273
01:28:06,114 --> 01:28:08,116
Goal!

1274
01:28:23,172 --> 01:28:25,989
Thank you, God!

1275
01:28:26,009 --> 01:28:32,098
Using their last shred of
strength, Galo gets there!

1276
01:28:33,224 --> 01:28:37,729
Guilherme takes the game
to a penalty shootout...

1277
01:28:42,233 --> 01:28:44,048
Our coach Cuca asked me

1278
01:28:44,068 --> 01:28:47,427
if we should pick the side
with our supporters for the shootout,

1279
01:28:47,447 --> 01:28:49,741
so the fans could
exert some pressure.

1280
01:28:50,158 --> 01:28:51,889
I remember saying to him:

1281
01:28:51,909 --> 01:28:55,455
"Cuca, on that side the penalty
spot has a different type of grass.

1282
01:28:55,788 --> 01:28:59,334
The whole thing is a bit flimsy.
It could be a problem."

1283
01:29:06,549 --> 01:29:08,384
Jô missed it.

1284
01:29:12,180 --> 01:29:14,307
And after that, comes Richarlison.

1285
01:29:18,978 --> 01:29:22,899
Right when he placed his weak foot,
the spot fell apart.

1286
01:29:23,149 --> 01:29:25,902
His shot was wide because of it.

1287
01:29:26,652 --> 01:29:30,031
And I noticed it and thought
this could cost us the win.

1288
01:29:30,365 --> 01:29:33,306
Ronaldinho on the ball,
come on Ronaldinho…

1289
01:29:33,326 --> 01:29:35,266
Focus, R10...

1290
01:29:35,286 --> 01:29:39,103
Galo needs you now,
more than ever…

1291
01:29:39,123 --> 01:29:40,938
If he scores it's 3-2,

1292
01:29:40,958 --> 01:29:42,418
and then it's in Victor's hands...

1293
01:29:49,509 --> 01:29:54,702
Newell's best player
Maxi Rodriguez is ready to take it,

1294
01:29:54,722 --> 01:29:58,726
Victor has the chance of saving this
and sending Galo to the final…

1295
01:29:59,769 --> 01:30:03,648
Victor!

1296
01:30:15,034 --> 01:30:16,099
We made history,

1297
01:30:16,119 --> 01:30:18,101
but there's greater things on our path.

1298
01:30:18,121 --> 01:30:22,105
Let's keep it humble,
doing our thing.

1299
01:30:22,125 --> 01:30:25,775
We know who we are, let's go!

1300
01:30:25,795 --> 01:30:29,153
Let's focus even more now,

1301
01:30:29,173 --> 01:30:34,826
because this may not be the most
important match of everyone's career,

1302
01:30:34,846 --> 01:30:36,764
but it is for the club.
For the club.

1303
01:30:38,266 --> 01:30:40,706
Dangerous free kick
for Olimpia to take here.

1304
01:30:40,726 --> 01:30:44,127
They wait for the whistle...

1305
01:30:44,147 --> 01:30:45,711
We're already in injury time,

1306
01:30:45,731 --> 01:30:47,171
Galo is down one man,

1307
01:30:47,191 --> 01:30:49,819
critical set piece
opportunity for Olimpia.

1308
01:30:50,111 --> 01:30:52,196
He takes it, goal!

1309
01:30:54,866 --> 01:30:58,661
Olimpia gets there!

1310
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:02,437
Incredible.

1311
01:31:02,457 --> 01:31:06,566
Atlético incredibly concedes this goal,

1312
01:31:06,586 --> 01:31:09,152
in the last minute
of injury time.

1313
01:31:09,172 --> 01:31:13,759
Now Galo's mission
back home is even harder.

1314
01:31:16,179 --> 01:31:18,119
Their fans invaded the pitch.

1315
01:31:18,139 --> 01:31:20,329
We were walking off
and they were chanting.

1316
01:31:20,349 --> 01:31:22,351
“Champions, champions...”

1317
01:31:24,061 --> 01:31:25,960
You feel the urge to start a fight,

1318
01:31:25,980 --> 01:31:28,588
to not let them celebrate.

1319
01:31:28,608 --> 01:31:30,610
It was not over,
but there they were.

1320
01:31:31,819 --> 01:31:33,362
But we walked off...

1321
01:31:33,571 --> 01:31:37,388
In the dressing room,
the atmosphere is very sad,

1322
01:31:37,408 --> 01:31:40,328
a feeling that everything is lost,

1323
01:31:41,537 --> 01:31:45,396
you want to get up, but you can't,

1324
01:31:45,416 --> 01:31:47,398
it's too much of a shock.

1325
01:31:47,418 --> 01:31:50,193
“Why did we concede?
Why did we foul them there?

1326
01:31:50,213 --> 01:31:52,195
Why did we put someone
on the goal line?

1327
01:31:52,215 --> 01:31:53,758
Another 2-0.

1328
01:31:54,926 --> 01:31:57,720
Again. Another week like that.”

1329
01:31:59,639 --> 01:32:02,580
2013 Libertadores final!

1330
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:04,790
In their 105 years of history,

1331
01:32:04,810 --> 01:32:07,376
Atlético plays today
their most important match ever.

1332
01:32:07,396 --> 01:32:10,296
These incredible supporters
showed up once again,

1333
01:32:10,316 --> 01:32:14,050
as they did throughout
all the competition.

1334
01:32:14,070 --> 01:32:18,179
This would be the 17th title
for a Brazilian team,

1335
01:32:18,199 --> 01:32:20,181
and the first for Atlético.

1336
01:32:20,201 --> 01:32:23,184
“I believe,” they sing.

1337
01:32:23,204 --> 01:32:25,978
In the first leg in
Asunción, a 2-0 defeat.

1338
01:32:25,998 --> 01:32:27,980
So Atletico needs to win today.

1339
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,816
Good play on the left flank,

1340
01:32:30,836 --> 01:32:33,236
he's in position to score, Olimpia…

1341
01:32:33,256 --> 01:32:37,698
Victor saves it and saves Galo once again!

1342
01:32:37,718 --> 01:32:42,203
Tardelli links up with Jô,
back to Tardelli, he shoots...

1343
01:32:42,223 --> 01:32:44,225
Over the bar!

1344
01:32:46,686 --> 01:32:48,813
Prepare your heart...

1345
01:32:48,896 --> 01:32:50,481
Prepare your heart because...

1346
01:32:50,982 --> 01:32:53,818
In the second half it's all or nothing.

1347
01:33:26,100 --> 01:33:27,206
Bernard with the ball,

1348
01:33:27,226 --> 01:33:29,750
Jô waits for the cross,
it's too high,

1349
01:33:29,770 --> 01:33:31,794
Tardelli on the far post,
he shoots!

1350
01:33:31,814 --> 01:33:33,190
Jô with the rebound!

1351
01:33:35,901 --> 01:33:37,758
Jô manages to turn, he shoots...

1352
01:33:37,778 --> 01:33:40,406
The keeper saves,
but Jô has another chance!

1353
01:33:44,619 --> 01:33:46,892
Michel makes the cross,

1354
01:33:46,912 --> 01:33:49,353
He's onside, tries to set up...

1355
01:33:49,373 --> 01:33:50,521
Leo Silva with a header…

1356
01:33:50,541 --> 01:33:53,586
It hits the crossbar!

1357
01:33:54,462 --> 01:33:59,614
Ronaldinho takes the free kick,
there's the header…

1358
01:33:59,634 --> 01:34:02,887
He saves it, incredible!

1359
01:34:04,138 --> 01:34:07,016
Ronaldinho shoots it, Tardelli!

1360
01:34:11,562 --> 01:34:15,212
Olimpia has it in the midfield,

1361
01:34:15,232 --> 01:34:17,214
through ball to Ferreyra,

1362
01:34:17,234 --> 01:34:19,216
Victor leaves the goal...

1363
01:34:19,236 --> 01:34:20,285
He slipped!

1364
01:34:20,306 --> 01:34:22,011
Ferreyra is so bad!

1365
01:34:22,031 --> 01:34:24,033
He slips and misses the title goal!

1366
01:34:24,492 --> 01:34:26,474
Ferreyra, an open goal…

1367
01:34:26,494 --> 01:34:29,852
I guess Kalil's late father
nudged him to the ground, mine too...

1368
01:34:29,872 --> 01:34:34,732
Each and every Atleticano from Heaven
helped there, I mean it!

1369
01:34:34,752 --> 01:34:36,734
I shiver until this day…
No way...

1370
01:34:36,754 --> 01:34:38,756
It was the end right there.

1371
01:34:40,716 --> 01:34:42,782
It might be now, the cross…

1372
01:34:42,802 --> 01:34:46,035
Atletico asks for a penalty,

1373
01:34:46,055 --> 01:34:47,328
the ref says play on,

1374
01:34:47,348 --> 01:34:50,164
cross coming from the right flank,

1375
01:34:50,184 --> 01:34:51,666
the header...

1376
01:34:51,686 --> 01:34:53,646
Goal!

1377
01:35:17,253 --> 01:35:23,781
Galo gets there!

1378
01:35:23,801 --> 01:35:31,801
Dear God,
why does it have to be so difficult?

1379
01:35:32,184 --> 01:35:36,544
Leo Silva sends it to the back of the net

1380
01:35:36,564 --> 01:35:40,339
and the black and white
crowd here in Mineirão

1381
01:35:40,359 --> 01:35:41,924
can now breathe!

1382
01:35:41,944 --> 01:35:45,906
By the 87th minute mark…

1383
01:35:48,367 --> 01:35:49,890
So came extra time.

1384
01:35:49,910 --> 01:35:53,352
We lost Bernard,
with cramps in both legs.

1385
01:35:53,372 --> 01:35:55,916
It was so painful
he couldn't even move.

1386
01:35:56,792 --> 01:36:00,463
Alecsandro missed a good opportunity
in the final minutes too.

1387
01:36:01,839 --> 01:36:04,383
Anyway, penalties again.

1388
01:36:15,019 --> 01:36:17,313
Score! Score!

1389
01:36:26,947 --> 01:36:28,596
Before the shootout,

1390
01:36:28,616 --> 01:36:30,806
our physician Delmiro

1391
01:36:30,826 --> 01:36:33,476
handed me a rosary
a supporter had given him.

1392
01:36:33,496 --> 01:36:36,771
Every time we were shooting,

1393
01:36:36,791 --> 01:36:41,066
Martín Silva threw the rosary
behind the goal,

1394
01:36:41,086 --> 01:36:42,860
so when I was up,
I took the rosary

1395
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:44,673
and placed it behind the goal line.

1396
01:37:04,610 --> 01:37:06,342
In their second-to-last shot,

1397
01:37:06,362 --> 01:37:08,364
I took the rosary with me.

1398
01:37:08,572 --> 01:37:12,056
I recall saying to Leo Silva:

1399
01:37:12,076 --> 01:37:16,227
“You can celebrate,
this one's not going in.

1400
01:37:16,247 --> 01:37:17,581
You can start celebrating."

1401
01:37:29,635 --> 01:37:37,635
Galo are your 2013 Libertadores
da America champions!

1402
01:37:40,938 --> 01:37:48,008
Galo achieves a historical
feat here in Mineiräo,

1403
01:37:48,028 --> 01:37:51,554
a place of so many
sorrows for these supporters!

1404
01:37:51,574 --> 01:37:56,433
1977 wasn't the time,
1999 wasn't the time,

1405
01:37:56,453 --> 01:38:00,437
God had something greater for us in store!

1406
01:38:00,457 --> 01:38:03,941
Thank you, God!

1407
01:38:03,961 --> 01:38:08,988
Thank you for giving
such joy to these fans!

1408
01:38:09,008 --> 01:38:12,992
Congratulations, Clube Atletico Mineiro!

1409
01:38:13,012 --> 01:38:14,994
Congratulations, Galo!

1410
01:38:15,014 --> 01:38:20,040
You who are so loved,
my fierce Galo!

1411
01:38:20,060 --> 01:38:24,086
Libertadores champions!

1412
01:38:24,106 --> 01:38:29,466
Thank you for giving this joy
to these supporters,

1413
01:38:29,486 --> 01:38:32,636
these people whose soul
is black and white,

1414
01:38:32,656 --> 01:38:35,806
who endured so much until this day!

1415
01:38:35,826 --> 01:38:38,142
Now they can let it all out!
Champions!

1416
01:38:38,162 --> 01:38:40,144
Amazing!

1417
01:38:40,164 --> 01:38:42,146
The drought is over!

1418
01:38:42,166 --> 01:38:44,982
42 years later,

1419
01:38:45,002 --> 01:38:51,425
the boys in black and white
are Libertadores champions!

1420
01:38:53,385 --> 01:38:56,221
We were cast in suffering.

1421
01:38:57,222 --> 01:39:01,936
And those who are cast
only in joy and titles,

1422
01:39:02,394 --> 01:39:03,395
they are dull.

1423
01:39:04,521 --> 01:39:05,981
They are not deep.

1424
01:39:07,149 --> 01:39:11,028
They don't understand sadness,
there's no loss.

1425
01:39:12,112 --> 01:39:15,346
Champions, champions!

1426
01:39:15,366 --> 01:39:18,035
Galo, Galo!

1427
01:39:18,661 --> 01:39:20,392
Galo!

1428
01:39:20,412 --> 01:39:24,521
We're champions!
We're Galo! We're Galo!

1429
01:39:24,541 --> 01:39:27,358
<i>We're here to cheer you on.</i>

1430
01:39:27,378 --> 01:39:30,194
<i>It doesn't matter if we have to fight.</i>

1431
01:39:30,214 --> 01:39:33,405
<i>No matter when or where.</i>

1432
01:39:33,425 --> 01:39:36,136
<i>Galoucura will be there!</i>

1433
01:39:45,354 --> 01:39:47,982
<i>Galoucura will be there!</i>

1434
01:39:55,030 --> 01:39:56,782
That “Galo” chant,

1435
01:39:57,491 --> 01:40:02,037
is the most soulful chant
of a Brazilian team.

1436
01:40:03,163 --> 01:40:04,812
It comes from within…

1437
01:40:04,832 --> 01:40:08,524
If you need proof
that there is a soul,

1438
01:40:08,544 --> 01:40:11,026
just listen to that “Galo…”.

1439
01:40:11,046 --> 01:40:13,132
Echoing in Mineirão...

1440
01:40:13,549 --> 01:40:16,657
And I watched that and thought:

1441
01:40:16,677 --> 01:40:18,909
“These people need
to leave this stadium happy.”

1442
01:40:18,929 --> 01:40:21,640
Galo!

1443
01:40:22,558 --> 01:40:24,601
Galo!

1444
01:40:25,310 --> 01:40:27,813
Galo!

1445
01:40:43,662 --> 01:40:47,563
There's something
that mixes heroism with pain.

1446
01:40:47,583 --> 01:40:52,276
A mix of sadness,
of having to deal with disappointment,

1447
01:40:52,296 --> 01:40:55,424
and the explosion
of a different kind of joy.

1448
01:40:57,509 --> 01:41:00,429
And sometimes a single game
puts it all on the line.

1449
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:04,892
In that match,
it's everything on the line.

1450
01:41:12,316 --> 01:41:15,758
Thank you God,
father, mother, uncle,

1451
01:41:15,778 --> 01:41:17,446
for making me Atleticana.

1452
01:41:18,367 --> 01:41:19,386
This is me:

1453
01:41:19,406 --> 01:41:20,430
Carol,

1454
01:41:20,451 --> 01:41:21,479
a woman,

1455
01:41:21,500 --> 01:41:22,520
black,

1456
01:41:22,541 --> 01:41:23,667
a supporter.

1457
01:41:23,911 --> 01:41:26,143
But there's no better definition of me

1458
01:41:26,163 --> 01:41:27,603
than the sentence on the banner

1459
01:41:27,623 --> 01:41:29,625
in the background of this picture:

1460
01:41:30,459 --> 01:41:33,442
We - the Atleticano
always speak in plurals…

1461
01:41:33,462 --> 01:41:36,298
“We will stay and sing.”

1462
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:38,781
No matter what happens,

1463
01:41:38,801 --> 01:41:42,076
in any time or circumstance,

1464
01:41:42,096 --> 01:41:44,473
this is an assurance
for us in life.

1465
01:41:44,932 --> 01:41:47,351
We will stay and sing.

1466
01:42:36,358 --> 01:42:37,693
Dear passengers...

1467
01:42:38,944 --> 01:42:40,112
Go, Galo!

1468
01:42:45,993 --> 01:42:47,724
What makes me sad is to think that

1469
01:42:47,744 --> 01:42:51,520
if we had won
against Raja Casablanca,

1470
01:42:51,540 --> 01:42:53,667
we'd have been club world champions.

1471
01:42:54,418 --> 01:42:59,194
We'd do to Bayern Munich
what Raja did to us.

1472
01:42:59,214 --> 01:43:01,216
I truly believe in it.

1473
01:43:02,134 --> 01:43:03,824
Allah gave them a hand,

1474
01:43:03,844 --> 01:43:08,078
it's pretty tough to win there…

1475
01:43:08,098 --> 01:43:10,831
<i>Clube Atletico Mineiro!</i>

1476
01:43:10,851 --> 01:43:14,209
<i>Once and until we die!</i>

1477
01:43:14,229 --> 01:43:17,129
Come on guys,
Galo supporters until the end!

1478
01:43:17,149 --> 01:43:19,359
Damn right, until we die...

1479
01:43:19,401 --> 01:43:21,445
This was in Morocco,
after the game…

1480
01:43:22,070 --> 01:43:24,178
The players change,
Atlético remains.

1481
01:43:24,198 --> 01:43:25,387
That's right, brother.

1482
01:43:25,407 --> 01:43:27,409
Being an Atletico supporter is a gift.

1483
01:43:27,951 --> 01:43:31,727
My friend Valdoveu
says something beautiful:

1484
01:43:31,747 --> 01:43:34,062
“Atletico is so good to me,

1485
01:43:34,082 --> 01:43:36,732
that they don't even have to win,
just to exist."

1486
01:43:36,752 --> 01:43:39,318
I'm retired these days,
people ask me what do I do.

1487
01:43:39,338 --> 01:43:41,924
I say I'm an Atletico supporter.

1488
01:43:42,049 --> 01:43:43,447
“I mean, what's your profession?”

1489
01:43:43,467 --> 01:43:46,408
“To support Atletico.”
This is my main activity.

1490
01:43:46,428 --> 01:43:50,454
I remember Reinaldo vividly,
very vividly.

1491
01:43:50,474 --> 01:43:51,997
His own story

1492
01:43:52,017 --> 01:43:55,042
is also Galo's story,
up until that Libertadores.

1493
01:43:55,062 --> 01:43:57,044
It was beautiful to hear from him

1494
01:43:57,064 --> 01:44:00,130
that he watched the Libertadores title

1495
01:44:00,150 --> 01:44:03,050
sitting in the same spot he was in 1977,

1496
01:44:03,070 --> 01:44:06,011
on that game he was wrongly sent off.

1497
01:44:06,031 --> 01:44:08,013
So he sat on the same spot.

1498
01:44:08,033 --> 01:44:11,183
And by chance, it was the spot
where he watched the title.

1499
01:44:11,203 --> 01:44:14,456
He breathes Atletico...

1500
01:44:16,166 --> 01:44:21,109
I just wanted to thank you
for the tremendous support,

1501
01:44:21,129 --> 01:44:24,466
since day one,

1502
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,658
in the hardest moment
of my career and my life,

1503
01:44:27,678 --> 01:44:29,201
you embraced me.

1504
01:44:29,221 --> 01:44:31,828
And my greatest joy

1505
01:44:31,848 --> 01:44:36,250
is to give back to you,
together with my teammates,

1506
01:44:36,270 --> 01:44:40,003
I won't ever forget you,

1507
01:44:40,023 --> 01:44:41,566
for all I lived here.

1508
01:44:42,265 --> 01:44:43,298
And...

1509
01:44:43,318 --> 01:44:45,821
We're the damn Galo, man!

1510
01:44:47,906 --> 01:44:49,638
My mother still tells about the time

1511
01:44:49,658 --> 01:44:52,057
when her father used to
sit beneath a mango tree,

1512
01:44:52,077 --> 01:44:55,455
ear glued to the radio,
listening to Atlético games, screaming:

1513
01:44:55,872 --> 01:44:59,064
“Cira, Cira! Reinaldo
scored! Paulo Isidoro!”

1514
01:44:59,084 --> 01:45:00,274
He'd tell her everything.

1515
01:45:00,294 --> 01:45:03,193
As fate would have it,
I became an Atletico player.

1516
01:45:03,213 --> 01:45:07,114
On my first game,
people asked me

1517
01:45:07,134 --> 01:45:10,637
what surname I wanted to use,
Aquino or Rocha.

1518
01:45:10,929 --> 01:45:13,662
Then I remembered my grandfather Rocha.

1519
01:45:13,682 --> 01:45:16,101
And chose to be Marcos Rocha
in tribute to him...

1520
01:45:16,476 --> 01:45:19,001
Maybe there's a difference,

1521
01:45:19,021 --> 01:45:21,420
and I don't mean to boast,

1522
01:45:21,440 --> 01:45:25,924
between me and other professionals,

1523
01:45:25,944 --> 01:45:29,303
is that they are
more balanced than me,

1524
01:45:29,323 --> 01:45:33,265
and chose not to show
very clearly

1525
01:45:33,285 --> 01:45:35,767
their preferences
when it came to football clubs.

1526
01:45:35,787 --> 01:45:41,023
And I, contradicting all
guides for good journalism,

1527
01:45:41,043 --> 01:45:43,650
have always been
a supporter when announcing games.

1528
01:45:43,670 --> 01:45:46,820
The Atletico fans felt this,

1529
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:54,598
and the affection they show for me
may come from that.

1530
01:45:56,183 --> 01:46:03,670
Rap music has a lot
of black, urban culture.

1531
01:46:03,690 --> 01:46:05,692
And Galo is the team of the masses.

1532
01:46:06,068 --> 01:46:09,134
In Minas Gerais, there’s no way,

1533
01:46:09,154 --> 01:46:12,054
Galo is the club of the masses.

1534
01:46:12,074 --> 01:46:16,350
The common people are Atletico supporters,
the favelas…

1535
01:46:16,370 --> 01:46:19,811
Rap music and Galo
come from the same place...

1536
01:46:19,831 --> 01:46:21,688
It's the final whistle,
Galo are champions!

1537
01:46:21,708 --> 01:46:24,858
Galo wins the Recopa Sulamericana

1538
01:46:24,878 --> 01:46:28,820
in an amazing fashion
here in Belo Horizonte!

1539
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:31,448
Galo are champions!

1540
01:46:31,468 --> 01:46:33,450
Galo!

1541
01:46:33,470 --> 01:46:36,515
Yet another international title for Galo!
