What irritated the almost non-existent public at the Antônio Soares de Oliveira stadium, in Guarulhos, were the shouts of Nicolly Amorim. He repeated, every 30 seconds, a “come on, Thiago” with a shrill sound. As if she, alone, she could make her boyfriend decide the match.

It was an inglorious mission. Thiago is the number 7 of Atlético Mogi, which last year earned the nickname “worst team in the world”. He inherited the nickname with which the folkloric ibis is defined. In 2022, the team from the São Paulo metropolitan area reached 54 games without winning. He broke the negative record of Pernambuco.

Atlético debuted this Sunday (23) in what is their home, the Second State Division. Despite the nomenclature, it is the fourth and last level of São Paulo football. Unsurprisingly, the team increased the fast to 55 games after being beaten 2-0 by Guarulhos.
