In 2012 Tiago Rech was the only Santa Cruz FC fan at a big away game for his team. When they scored, his timid, lone celebration was caught by TV cameras and went viral. All this attention earned him a role with the club, where full of ideas and enthusiasm, he made his way to the very top, to his dream job of football club president. But there would be a sting in this fairytale.
