The actor, who predicted the outcome of Alvinegro in 2023, will be involved in the match against Atlético this Saturday to decide the competition
One of Botafogo’s most iconic fans, the actor Stepan Nercessian, will not be able to attend the Libertadores final, this Saturday, at 5pm, at the Mâs Monumental de Núñez. The actor, moreover, will perform a theater show in conjunction with the match against Atlético. He will take the stage at the João Caetano Theater. The “culprit” is the musical “The King of Rock”, about Elvis Presley. Stepan plays Colonel Tom Parker, the star’s manager.
“I don’t know what will happen. I can’t say anything: where will my heart be, whether I will be able to handle the text. And the worst thing is that the cast is full of actors from São Paulo, there are about four or five people from Palmeiras But they say they won’t dry me up, let’s see”, he joked in an interview with Flashscore.
Trust?
The actor will turn 71 next Monday (2), two days after the Libertadores final. The possibility of an unprecedented title makes Stepan dream of “one of the greatest gifts in life.”
“I am here prepared, convinced that I will win this wonderful gift. Can you imagine turning 71 and becoming champion of the Libertadores with my glorious Botafogo? Botafogo always makes me believe that it is worth the wait because one day everything will happen. It would be one of the greatest gifts I will ever receive in my life. Botafogo deserves it so much,” he says.
Despite his confidence in Botafogo in 2024, Stepan maintains his usual caution. Asked if he had a prediction for the final, he preferred not to take any risks.
The interview went viral
Stepan also talked about his fateful prediction and how he deals with expectations for the two decisions of the year. Last year, in an interview with the Garotinho Podcast, he did not believe in the club winning the Brazilian title at a time when the difference for second place was 13 points. The fact, after all, finally came true.
“If there was one thing I didn’t want to do it was predict that Botafogo would not be champions of Brazil in 2023, but it was a feeling I had. I never like to claim victory in advance. And it was a surprise, but this The turning point that is happening has been wonderful,” Stepan emphasized.
