Rebuilding Chapecoense: Four Years On From The Tragedy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- It has been almost four years since 71 people, including almost the entire squad of Brazilian football club Chapecoense, lost their lives in a plane crash just outside the city of Medellin in Colombia.
As with all disasters, whilst the world stops for a moment, ultimately the planet keeps on turning, and people's attention turns elsewhere.
But four years on from one of football's darkest days, in this short documentary, HITC Sevens revisits the heartbreak and agony of that incident, and how the people of Chapeco and Chapecoense as a club have fought to bounce back.
Inevitably relegated from Brasileirão Série A in 2019 but won the Santa Catarina state championship in 2020 after beating Brusque in the final
Respect
I'm not trying to be disrespectful but most of the teams in that competition aren't even in Brazil's 4th division, Chapecoense is without a doubt the biggest team in Santa Catarina
Looking good for promotion now, My own Avaí are in worse shape, unfortunately.
Seems pretty dynamic to me, with 4 or 5 teams even enough.... Even Joinville were doing well a few years ago, and now where are they ?
Michael McKenna Sim, é verdade.
I'm not crying, you're crying. Forca Chape!
Honestly
What are we doing here racing or ping pong
@@abyss18 Why would you quote Vettel here?
@Sattwik Shekhar because I can
They are coming back! Chapecoense is already the first place on Serie B, actually this season is so great that it is the 3rd best season of any team on Serie B of all times!
As a Brazilian, it is very cool and exciting to see a European channel talking about Brazilian football and about Chapecoense, one of the most charismatic teams in Brazil.
I support Flamengo, and I have an affection for the entire history of Chape.
I like your videos, keep up the good work.
hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
I feel the same when Europeans mention the mexican league. Arriba Las Chivas!
Didnt Ronaldinho play for Flamengo?
@@matthewhernandez8342 Yes,he did
Yes, Ronaldinho played in Flamengo between 2011 - 2012.
@@matthewhernandez8342 He did, but we don't really miss him lol He actually had to be fired because his performances were bad to the point the fans couldn't stand him any more. Then he went to Atlético MG and helped them win a Libertadores, the jerk ¬¬
Incidents like this and plane crash of the team formed by Sir Matt Busby is very saddening, aspiring footballers who could have broken into the football scene passed away, hope the team has recovered for this shock and producing talents whilst doing well in their league
Duncan Edwards who was in that team was remembered as a Local hero where he was in Dudley he has a Road named after him and has a Statue I lived in Dudley but now don't when I did I was young so didn't know about Munich or Duncan Edwards so possibly have been down the road which bears his name but never noticed.
I am not ashamed to admit I shed a tear during this video. The whole incident was horrifying at the time and I’m so happy to hear that they didn’t immeadiately fall down the leagues. They stand as an example of how much a club means to both a city and to the individual. Thank you
As an Atlético Nacional fan living in Medellín, i can remember every single moment, when a friend called me to tell me that the plane was missing from the radars, i cannot believe it, to then find out the tragedy, it was a massive pain. I followed them through that glorious campaign and couldn’t believe what i was watching, they were undoubtedly one of the best teams in the continent and as a Nacional fan i was really scared of facing them after their massive appearances against other South American giants. Every time i hear the glorious story of Chapecoense i can’t help but to cry, it is still a massive story about a group of people that flew so high that reach the skies and stay there. I will always root for them and expect to see them rebuild from the ashes and be there with the massive giants in South America, just as it is meant to be.
Great video Alfie, congrats for doing such a fine memorial and as always: VAMOS VAMOS CHAPEEEEE!!
RIP to those who perished, and I pray for peace of mind for the survivors 🙏
Thank you Viper
Well done HITC, you’ve paid a nice tribute and given us a reminder to never forget those that lost their lives. Moreover, we all shouldn’t forget that the human spirit and desire to overcome, is truly unrivaled. Cheers!
Sadly, one of the guys who survived the crash, Rafael Henzel (The only journalist to survive), dies last year when he was playing football with friends because of a Heart Attack :(
This is the content I love from HITC SEVENS. Will it always get a lot of views? No. Will I learn something about my favorite game? Hell yes. Rock on Alfie
I agree. It sucks that his documentary style videos don’t perform as well as other videos.
Amen to this
As a brazilian, remmembering that makes me very emotional. It's still clear in my memory, when my brother woke me up 6 in the morning to tell me what happened. It´s strange, it was like losing a friend. As a passionate football fan, i saw then every day on TV, this group of players were very intimate to every football fan in Brazil.
I ll never forget it. As a Sporting CP fan, i was scared because i didnt know at the time if Marcelo Boek, our former keeper, was in that plane. I already knew about Chapecoense s "road to glory" because he played there.😢 brilliant video, btw.
Sad but excellent video. These long form videos are far better than the 7s
Totally agree! Ignore the people who you that videos need to be short. Anyone genuinely interested will stick around for the longer form ones.
I am in literal tears. I wish this could have been avoided. I remember hearing about this story before heading off to school. Truly tragic. I hope those families have found some peace.
Chapecoense tragedy, was something shocking, I remember when I got to school early in the morning and was told about what had happened, I think everybody here in Brazil isn't going to forget what was doing or where they were when told about it, and as a person who born in Santa Catarina, in Joinville, to be more specific, and happily they are playing very well this year, winning this season state championship and being playing a good football that remembers that team in 2016, of course not as good as that team. Most people here in Brazil has chapecoense as their second team, the team turned into something that belongs to Brazil now, no more only to the south of Brazil, or only here in state. And congratulations for taking about Chape, when the crash happend everyone was talking about but now they're not talking so much, and the club like majority of others clubs in Brazil, are suffering financial problems, majority and almost only because the crash, and that thing that the clubs and some football stars offered thing to Chapecoense at that time, everyone said but no one did something in reality.
Still remember seeing the photo of the players who didn’t travel due to suspension or injury were sat in the changing room back at the stadium heartbroken as they realised what happened 😔
Madness to think that this tragedy is 4 years old! Hopefully they get back to challenging again. #ForzaChape
Just hearing about this tragedy again makes me wanna tear up because I'm sure all of us have lost some one, just imagining the pain the city, families, and friends is hard enough. However its great to hear they have stayed strong all these years.
As a brazilian, I cried throughtout the entire video.
Specially at 5:51.
I really miss those players' smile and celebrations...
I think everybody in Brazil does.
They're second in serie B with 2 games in hand. They'll absolutely come back.
never thought the day would come when a HITC sevens video would make me teary
I am usually fascinated by what you have to say but this time I was moved to tears. You portray Brazilian football as a beautiful thing.
Never thought HITC would make me cry like a baby. Bless you for the video. Rest in peace to them.
What a story😭. RIP legends
I never thought I would cry while watching youtube video about football.
I‘m so glad you moved on from only doing sevens and elevens. These are much more interesting and although I get a bit emotional watching these sometimes, it’s definitely good to remember this stuff.
this was very emotional and well done, cheers from brazil love your channel
Beautifully made video. Honestly, I didn't think I would cry but I did. I hope people can find heart, resolve and courage to deal with loss like the Chapecoense fans and the board. They handled everything with grace and didn't want anyone's sympathy. Truly an inspiration. Thank you for this video.
This is what i searched some weeks ago to find out what happened 4 years later.Nice!
Jackson Follman (the goalkeeper that survived) now is a singer in Brazil, he actually won a singing reality show (Superstar) and said that his love for music began in the process of recovery from the plane crash. He sings with such emotion on his voice that you can feel all that this man had gone through, it is incredibly touching.
There's an understandable brotherhood between Chapecoense and Torino. A couple of seasons ago Toro had a special edition green 3rd kit to honour Chapecoense and last season (2021/ 22) the goalkeeper kit was Chape green in honour of their fallen brothers.
Great video; yes, I'm in tears too
Thank you so much Alfie, great job as always. Beautiful video, as a brazilian I can hardly say how much I cried watching this and how much happy I am to see such an amazing tribute to Chapecoense, this is the kind of video the change lifes. I am from São Paulo and support Corinthians, but Chapecoense is in my heart and I will always with them the best.
Honestly one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while, glad to hear they are still doing well 💚
As a Rio de Janeiro citizen and Fluminense fan, I was more than ready to support Chape in that final. Cause they were just so captivating. The club's story, the players... I remember waking up to my (Vasco fan) brother's pale face telling me they had crashed. Didn't believe him. Told him it was probably fake. Then we still hoped there would be survivors and that it was a forced landing. Horrible end of year. Fuck Lamia. Força Chape. Eterno campeão. Eternos 71. Been watching your videos for years now alfie, this one hit special. Keep up the great work
I remember when this happened, it broke my heart. I cried when they showed the interviews
Some good new information for the most of you who aren't brazilians: Chapecoense is in the Serie B (the second division, just like Championship in England) and they're currently leading it =) and i don't know if the video mentions it but one of their main players, Alan Ruschel, is one of the survivors from the plane.
As a United fan this hits harder than normal, it reminds me of Munich Disaster.... RIP 🙏🙏🙏
I'm live very close of Chapecó just across the state border, and man chapecoense its a really big deal, I remember going to Chapecó before the acident ,and the atmosfere was incredible, its really very common here in the south that 80% its either grêmio or internacional fans ,19% are from some team of São Paulo or Rio . But Chapecó even before the acident created something trully unique.
I remember since my childhood seing the chapecoense climb to the top, in 2016 i had like 13 years and was not believing they made to the finals, the win over San Lorenzo in the semis was one of the craziest days of that year , fireworks until dawn. The day of the acident , my mother wake up Very early and saw in first hand the acident, she woke me crying, that was like un 9/11 to our comunity but since then we are more united than ever
Such an emotional watch, informative and heartfelt, beautifully done ❤️
Even in Brazil people are forgetting about this! Very good video mate.
Sounds like a good FM save.
Way ahead of you.
man i really remember that tragedy and I started following them and they are actually decent
What league they in?
@@andpeoplesayineedalife6418 if you watched the video he said Brazil’s 2nd tier
Ramiz Ahmadzada but I asked him 👋🏻
@@andpeoplesayineedalife6418 what’s the deal bro I just answered your question, 2nd tier of Brazil
Apologies if I was a bit rude
Ramiz Ahmadzada nw
You should make more videos about South American football. It really defines HITC Sevens as the people's channel, even for the foreign ones.
Gone but certainly never forgotten. I remember laying down in bed one evening and find the videos of this tragedy. I cried for like an hour. I still think about this club from time to time. There are no words that can be said to show our deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and supporters of those who perished in this tragedy. Alfie's final meaningful words of this video speak volumes. You are so right to say that if there's a second favourite team to support, it has to be Chapecoense. Even as a Corinthians fan, I could never be against Chape, and I am sincerely glad that the club has been able to move on, and are well on their way back to the Serie A. Massive respect to you Alfie for producing this video four years on from the heartbreaking tragedy. Maximum respect to you. Força Chape, agora e por sempre💚🤍
Alfie you have found your calling,
And i feel these video help separate you from sport,
These are amazing and i hope they continue for a long time
4 years on, the flowers of chapaco will forever live on
Following the tragedy, they did win the state championship in 2017 and 2020 and were runner ups in both 2018 and 2019... for a club who's historically the fifth powerhouse in the statethat's absolutely huge and even managed to keep thenselves in the top fligh until 2019 and reached the brazilian cup quarters as well. Right now they are second place in the Brazil's serie B so chances are they are gonna fight fro promotion and keep being a relevant team in the national scenario while fight to remain their state's best team for years to come... what a great story
I still feel so bad about this. Rest in Peace all of the people that were killed by the flight.
Great video! Not a chape fan, but still devastated with all that happened and i wish the club goes back to the top flight soon! Also, another good video idea from brazil could be about the club i support, cruzeiro, which is one of the big 12 but has about a billion reais in debt and is probqbly not going back to serie a anytime soon. As a fan, i'd love to see you cover the fall from grace of the club, as painful as it is for me. Love your content! Cheers from Brasil!🇧🇷
English fan here. Lived in BH. Zeirense para sempre . Best wishes
Given the topic of the video i would love to se a video about the "grande Torino" one of the lesser known super team of European football.
That was such bad news when that happened 4 years ago. On a nicer note love your vids
Damn this is litterly the Brazil version of the busby babes munich tragedy. Both teams tragedies occured in continental competitions, and both happened due to poor weather, and legends were lost
Weather was not a significant factor here and only partially so at Munich. Sadly human incompetence was to blame in both cases. At Munich, the airport authority were to blame for failing to ensure that the runway was in a safe condition for use, although in fairness the dangers of doing so were not well understood at the time. The dangers of commencing a flight without sufficient fuel to reach the intended destination are, and always have been, blindingly obvious.
I cry everytime I hear this story it hit me really hard because everyone loved chape apart from their rivals of course it was the same case as Portuguesa in 2012 or São Caetano in 2009 they were the club everyone support because they could beat the big 12
sei que voces são dos eua ou outros lugares ,mas sou brasileiro é muito bonito saber que ainda falam desse grande clube do nosso futebol nacional fora do brasil infelizmente ano passado 2019 a chape foi rebaixada pela primeira vez em toda sua história ,torço muito que ano que vem éla volte para a série A
That Chapecoense's squads last game was against my team Palmeiras, that was the game we won the brasileirao. Palmeiras was one of the better run teams in Brazil so we managed to help a lot, some loans, and we played a friendly with the revenue being donated, and our new signing from Chape only didn't go because he was injured, (Hyoran is at Atletico-MG now). I had always felt a connection to chapeconse they have the same colors as us and they were promoted alongside us, at first I did not like them at all because they almost embarrassed us by winning the title of Serie B, as we the supposed giants almost finished second, and beating us very badly, but they were underdogs something that Palmeiras knows well especially in this period were we got promoted to serie a, almost got relegated again, and against all odds went on to win the Copa Do Brasil, followed by the Brasileirao, so just like everyone I learned to love Chapecoense, and their impressive group of players even before the crash, I was really sad when they got relegated, almost as much as when the plane crashed, I wanted Palmeiras to loan our best payers so they would not get relegated, even though I knew It was impossible. But they will come back Vamo Vamo Chape.
This was definitely one of the best videos I’ve seen on RUclips period. Well done and I’m glad I pressed subscribe.👍
I rate you very highly for this video.Awesome.
The Barcelona-Chape charity game with Jakson Follmann coming on to take kick-off was the moment that really got me. I'm also reminded of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl disaster of 2011, on their way to the first game of the season in the world's second biggest ice hockey league. It happened during the equivalent of the Community Shield, and the President of the league walked out onto the ice when the game hit a break and read out a statement informing everybody of the tragedy. On the other side of the Atlantic, Pavol Demitra's children learned of their father's death by reading that "is" had been changed to "was" in his wikipedia article.
Beautiful video, it was indeed a terrible day in Brazil. Being from Rio, I knew some of the people aboard (most of the journalists were from Rio). And just two weeks prior, I went to Chapecó for work reasons (the only time I went there, actually) - I bought a Chapecoense jersey as a birthday present for my brother and I happened to see the whole team at their small airport, when waiting for one of the few flights back to Rio. I couldnt imagine that many of those players would lose their lives in just a while.
Class as you usual from you, sadly these stories are forgotten as quick as social media challenges
I remember that I cried like a baby, it was one of the most sad things that happened in my life time, i am a Grêmio fan ⭕⚫⚪ and my team didn't won a championship in 15 years, the copa do Brasil (Brazilian cup) final was the first match in Brazil after the crash and before the match started it had the most beautiful one minute of silence that I ever witness, at my home everybody was crying even my sisters that are international fans ⚪🔴, it was just sad, the whole stadium was crying, i remember what the media was saying after the match: the three teams final. :( Vamo, Vamo Chapeeeee!! 💚
Here is the videos ruclips.net/video/fOGEbYMObUo/видео.html it starts at the couto pereira stadium where the sudamerica final would take place and then switchs to arena do Grêmio stadium where the copa do Brasil final was about to start
HITC is the very best at doing this type of content, thank you so much for your work and time Alfie!
Chape are looking well for promotion back to Serié A, and best of luck to them !
One of my favorite videos from you Alfie great stuff!
Chape will be champions of the Série B!
Next year they’ll be back at the top flight.
Vamo Chape!
Fantastic documentary, Alfie.
Massive Respect Alfie❤️
Love from Brazil 🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Another great vid. On the same kind of vein, maybe do one on the rise and dramatic fall of Sao Caetano, who where runners up in Serie A and the Copa Libertadories in the early 00's and now in Serie D
Wonderful video of a club you indeed wish nothing but the best.
What kind of a monster would dislike this video
Dude this has to be your best work. I’ve been watching for years now. The way you wrote it literally almost brought tears to my eye
congratulations man, you made me cry
This video NEEDS a follow-up after what happened today
Why's this video makin me emotional man 😢🤧
I lived in Chapeco for 3 years and when all that happened.. man, was that a hard pill to swallow. I actually worked with the daughter of one of the members of the board that died in the crash and God it might have been hard on her
Phenomenal video. thank you for this...
The Atlético Nacional memorial was one of the most beautiful and emotional events I've ever seen. Truly classy thing to do!
Agreed. Class act and shows how football pales into insignificance when compared to human life
when iheard about the accident i was in shock they were in their first final in 2016 but the plaine was out fluel and they were close to safety such a tragedy made me cry and i am now a chapecoense suporter and a fan let s hope they can get promoted to brasiliero serie a in 2021 22 beacuse i miss them in the first dvision forca chape campeon compeonato cataraniese 2020 7th title giod luck and come back soon
Respect Alfie for doing this video 👊
Gone, but never forgotten 💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for making this video.
I actually cried during this. I’ve never cried to a video or a movie before. Idk why. Football makes you feel things that you can’t get anywhere
Hey Alfie, I just thought of a cracking idea for a video you could do on the turbulent recent history of Goztepe in the Super Lig. They’re one of the Super Lig’s most well supported clubs (a bit like a Newcastle United, Sunderland or Strasbourg if you may). In the 2001/02 season, they finished seventh in the top flight, however from 2002 to 2008, they were relegated five times in six seasons, due to their inability to reduce their outstanding debt which resulted in the football club being banned from signing new players during that time. In August of 2007, a business based in Istanbul, vowed to take them back to the top flight making them one of the top five clubs in the country, but they were met with lots of suspicions from the fan base, and then they handed over the ownership to another bloke called Mehmet Sepil in 2014. Anyway, they’re back in the Super Lig as a solid mid table/weaker top half team. Why am I bringing all this up? Because apparently Abramovich is looking to possibly buy the club himself, after being sanctioned from the UK. It’s a crazy crazy story and may you could look into this, not to mention, they are not only a rare example of a club that is considered a neighbourhood club, as well as the fact that they’ve played in 3 different stadiums since 2011, but also in 1969, they became the first Turkish football team to play a semi-final of a European competition.
14:44 I'm not one but after this video I want to be. Fantastic video, brought a tear to my eye at one point.
A beautiful look at an awe inspiring club, don’t comment often but had to tip my hat to you, well done mate
In this and other worlds,I am an 18th liker of this video but Rest In Peace to the players who passed away in the incident which happened four years ago,good friends!!!:'(
Absolutely fantastic video Alfie, won't get the views it deserves but we really appreciate stuff like this
Cheers from a Chapeco supporter
Best video I have seen in 2020
This is an amazing video.
You made me cry....
This one got me right in the feels
Great video
this video made me cry
Just to point out, Chape was relegated, so you might think they're over, but not, one of the big 12 teams also got relegated, Cruzeiro, this is Brazilian football, it's hard even for the big teams, and Chape held their ground graciously, I'm 100% sure there's a lot they can do yet.
So, while you might not choose Chape as your 2nd team, why not your 3rd? I'll always follow Chape, it is my 3rd team (because the other 2 are from my childhood, São Paulo & Manchester United) and I'm sure they'll be back up to the Brasileirão soon.
*EDIT:* Chape is currently 2nd in the Brasileirão Série B, but they still have 2 games to play, and a single victory of 2 goals or more and they're 1st, I believe is they'll be back at Serie A this year.
now this, this is a beautiful story.
Great video Alfie. #ForzaChape
not gonna lie, shed a tear or two watching this video
This was beautiful 😢
Damn man I just woke up, and I wasn't expecting tears for breakfast but here we are
