Fans gather at Brazil football stadium to mourn dead players

Teacher Aline Fonseca, 21, said the sudden deaths of the team members had torn a hole in the community.

“Chapeco is not a big city. We would meet (the players) in the street, anywhere. It’s hard to keep going,” she said.

“This gathering — they deserved twice as a big a gathering,” said pensioner Nelio Dalbosco, 73.

“We have to fight to try to rebuild a team that will be as good and to keep going. Life doesn’t stop,” he said.
