The attacker Ferreirinha felt a problem with his thigh and was replaced by Lucca at the end of the first half of São Paulo x Juventudein Vila Belmiro. With just three more games until the end of the Brasileirão, which ends on December 7, fans on social media remembered the bet that presenter and former player Craque Neto madein which he stated that the tricolor player I wouldn’t score ten goals this year.
Ferreirinha’s account in 2025 is as follows: he scored eight goals in 46 games played. In total, there were 29 starts. He also contributed three assists.
After leaving the field this Sunday, with an expression of pain and frustration, Ferreirinha went to the bench and began ice treatment. There is no further information about the severity of the problem. The player will undergo imaging tests in the next few hours.
The match ended with a 2-1 victory for São Paulo. Tricolor’s goals were scored by Bobadilla and Rigoni.
Remember Craque Neto’s bet
On April 10, presenter and former player Craque Neto promised that he would present Band’s program “Os Donos da Bola”, in a tanguinha, if Ferreirinha scored ten goals in the year. On the day of the bet, Ferreirinha had played 12 games this season, still without goals. Neto stated that he did not trust the attacker to be decisive.
– This year, if Ferreirinha scores ten goals, I’ll come from Coringa here. I come here naked. If the Band allows it, I’ll come in a thong – said Neto, hours before São Paulo’s match against Alianza Lima-PER, in the Libertadores.
During the night, Ferreirinha was disenchanted and scored twice in São Paulo 2 x 2 Alianza Lima, at Morumbis.
