As the world mourns the victims of the "Chapecoense" tragedy, it is noted that there could have been more casualties in the plane crash if circumstances had been different.
The son of the club's coach, Caio Junior, Matheus Saroli, was forced to miss the fateful flight because he had left his passport at home and was not allowed to board the aircraft.
Another representative of the team, goalkeeper Marcelo Boeck, was given the opportunity not to travel to important matches.
A veteran who had previously played in Portugal received additional rest, as his birthday celebration was taking place at that time.
Boeck was only the third goalkeeper in the "Chapecoense" club, which is why he received the team's favor.
