Torcedoras de Vasco e Flamengo, irmãs Elaine e Ana pregam leveza no futebol: ‘Torça com alegria, não com raiva’

Article arrow_drop_down

Qual mistura entre religião e futebol pode ser maior que um Clássico dos Milhões em plena Semana Santa? Enquanto a festa de muitos torcedores na Páscoa dependerá, em maior ou menor grau, do que acontecer no Maracanã neste Sábado de Aleluia, a celebração religiosa impedirá que duas fanáticas acompanhem seus times: a irmã Elaine e a irmã Ana, duas freiras que viralizaram por conta da conexão que possuem com Vasco e Flamengo, respectivamente.

A primeira foi ao CT do cruz-maltino e assistiu, no último fim de semana, ao jogo contra o Sport em São Januário, enquanto a outra é personagem conhecida desde 2023, quando passou a aparecer nas arquibancadas do Maracanã durante partidas do rubro-negro.

A rotina delas, no entanto, permite raras idas ao estádio. Os aplicativos de resultados instalados no celular acabam sendo seus melhores amigos. No caso da irmã Ana, a própria capinha do aparelho entrega a paixão pelo rubro-negro.

Os relatos de como se encantaram com o futebol são parecidos, com influência familiar direta. Mas, enquanto a vascaína se conectou ao conhecer a fundo a história do clube, a rubro-negra virou uma torcedora mais fervorosa a partir da temporada de 2019, quando se tornou fã de Gabigol e companhia. Hoje, ir ao estádio rende boas histórias e muito acolhimento nas arquibancadas.

— Fico encantada de ver gente de todas as idades beijando minha mão, pedindo a bênção. Até os torcedores de outros times. E que bom que agora tem outra irmã, porque os vascaínos pedem muito para que eu reze para eles ganharem também — brinca irmã Ana. — Durante o jogo, se preocupam até em não falar palavrões perto de mim. Se algum escapa, eu olho e ponho o dedo na boca, aí eles não falam mais nada.

‘Torça com alegria, não com raiva’

As irmãs tiram de letra as frustrações que o futebol pode causar. Irmã Elaine conta que, nas derrotas, é possível usar a fé para transformar sentimentos ruins em esperança, em motivação. Mais difícil é testemunhar episódios de violência e preconceito ligados ao esporte, como o racismo sofrido pelo atacante Luighi, do Palmeiras, em jogo da Libertadores sub-20.

— Senti uma tristeza tão grande, me doeu o coração. Isso não poderia acontecer — lamenta a rubro-negra.

— Como religiosa, creio que devemos semear respeito e promover a paz. O futebol deveria ser um lugar de celebração e reconhecimento da dignidade humana — completa a vascaína, que aconselha. —Torça com alegria, não com raiva. Se for provocar, que seja com leveza, com humor, nunca com ódio.

É o que as próprias freiras fazem nas conversas entre elas.

— Provoco muito santamente — admite irmã Ana, que garante haver várias outras irmãs no time das boleiras, mas torcendo “caladinhas”.

— Fazemos brincadeirinhas antes dos clássicos, mas tudo com muito carinho. O importante é não perder o espírito fraterno. No fim das contas, somos do mesmo time: o da vida e do bem — diz a irmã Elaine.

As irmãs ainda não se conhecem, e o encontro será adiado mais uma vez, pois, entre viagens e compromissos religiosos, elas sequer poderão assistir ao clássico desta noite. Mas, depois de checarem o placar no celular, terão tempo de sobra para perpetuar a saudável rivalidade.

Grading college basketball’s 2021 coaching carousel: How hires fared at UNC, Arizona, Indiana and more

Getty Images You know what's one of the least logical concepts in a sports-media culture filled with them? Assigning immediate "grades" before a player or coach has done a thing. We do it with the NFL and NBA drafts, we do it with coaching hirings. I've never liked the concept. Sure, it gets attention/viewership/readership, but it's not based in anything logical. (None other than Scott Van Pelt agrees with me.) But grading something after, you know, we have results to actually grade? That's my jam. So here I am, back again, opting for the more patient and practical route on college basketball hirings. As usual, I'm doing a four-years-later appraisal on power-conference coaches, which means the hiring cycle of 2021 is now up for inspection. (For previous report cards, here are my four-years-later grades from hirings in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.) The 2021 carousel was the first […]

Why the Maple Leafs should explore major lineup changes in Game 6, but probably won’t

What do you do now if you’re Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube?Stay the course and try to maintain some calm? Or, after two straight losses in elimination games, shake up the lineup for Game 6 in Ottawa?Throughout his first season with the Leafs, Berube was more apt to stay the course with certain pockets of his lineup. He was much less prone to experimentation than his predecessor, Sheldon Keefe (which stings at a time like this), and seems inclined to roll, again, with a similar look. Craig Berube says he’ll look at #leafs lineup changes for Game 6, but it doesn’t sound like a big shakeup is coming: “I don’t want to change too much. I think there’s been a lot of good.” — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) April 30, 2025The time might be right to get shaking, though, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Knicks? Plus 4 other trade destinations

<!--> With the Milwaukee Bucks' season officially ending after their Game # loss to the Indiana Pacers, it marks the third straight year they've flamed out in the first round of the NBA playoffs. They're four seasons removed from the franchise's only NBA title, back in 2021. And they've struggled to surround franchise cornerstone, Giannis Antetokounmpo, with the necessary pieces to contend since that 2021 season. Matters were only made worse when his sidekick, Damian Lillard, tore his Achilles during Game 4 on Sunday. Lillard, who is owed $102.9 million over the next two seasons, makes up for 35% of the Bucks' payroll. With him set to miss most, if not all, of the 2025-26 NBA season, it will not only decrease Milwaukee's ceiling but make it more difficult to build around the edges and maximize Antetokounmpo. A Bucks roster that got two […]

Sovereignty profile: 2025 Kentucky Derby odds, post position, history and more to know
