Athletico bring in priest to bless training ground and break the pact 🙌
According to journalist Monique Vilela, a priest was called to bless all the departments of the club this Thursday (31).
The initiative was taken by President Mario Celso Petraglia.
He reportedly heard from close people that the pact was hindering Athletico's season.
At the moment, the team is in 11th place in Serie B and has not won for four rounds in the championship.
Athletico takes the field this Thursday to face São Paulo in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The beginning of the pact
The club launched the pact campaign on social media in October of last year.
There were nine rounds left until the end of the Brasileirão and Athletico was trying to avoid relegation.
In the first match after the video was posted on social media, the team beat Cruzeiro 3 x 0.
However, Athletico also had four losses and two draws in the final nine matches of the championship and could not escape from the Z4.
