TRAGÉDIA E SUPERAÇÃO: A VIDA DO GOLEIRO BRUNO SAMUDIO

The baby who in 2010 was the son of a femicide that marked Brazilian football has now grown up. Bruninho Samudio is a survivor and is about to sign his first professional contract with Botafogo. His penalty saves in a South American victory for the under-15 national team and his growth in the youth ranks of the Rio de Janeiro club help tell the story of his football career. But the story of this 15-year-old, 1.91m tall boy is complete when his name and surname connect to the memories of his mother, Eliza Samudio, preserved in photographs by his grandmother, Sonia Moura. The marks of the premeditated crime committed by then-Flamengo goalkeeper Bruno will not be erased. But Bruninho intentionally remains silent about this in the exclusive interview he gave to UOL. His mind and body are united by the construction of his own career and personality. For Sonia, her grandson is like a son. She takes the front line in protecting the young athlete and doesn't back down in the face of external hostilities that arise at unexpected moments. This protective instinct recently manifested itself on the sidelines, in an episode recounted in rich detail to the reporter. These behind-the-scenes details are revealed in the UOL Prime report, which also followed Bruninho's games, spoke with a crucial figure in making football a serious pursuit in Bruninho's life, and also addresses his welcome at Botafogo. ---- On UOL Play, you can watch exclusive games from the 2025 Paulista Women's Championship and also subscribe to HBO Max to enjoy the Champions League super classics.
