Opinion: Faith rarely lets you down | OneFootball

Bruno Rodrigues has been with Palmeiras for almost two years and against Juventude, he played only his fifth game, the first as a starter. After very serious injuries, he scored one of the goals in the 4-1 victory in the Brazilian Championship.

Faith depends on each person's religion and which God they believe in. In Brazil, the patron saint is Our Lady of Aparecida, a day celebrated this Sunday, October 12th. Moments before Bruno Rodrigues' header, Palmeiras fans, behind the same goal, raised an image of the saint with the phrase: “pray for us.”

Interestingly, the Allianz Parque is preparing to host, on the same side of the goal and the mosaic, the concert of singer Gilberto Gil, composer of the song “Walking with Faith.” As he himself says in the song, “faith usually doesn’t fail.” And it really doesn’t!

The image of the entire team crossing the field to celebrate with the number 11 jersey goes down in Allianz Parque's history. A moment of emotion similar to the embrace of Jailson and Fernando Prass against Chapecoense in 2016. A different opponent and the same team uniforms as on that afternoon almost a decade ago.

On the upcoming 17th and 18th, Allianz will sing that faith doesn’t fail. Bruno Rodrigues, more than anyone, knows how true this is.
