Sérgio Paz's Ludopédio was a gift from his grandmother, who, knowing her grandson's love for football, bought the game in a supermarket belonging to the former Eldorado chain, in Santos. In January it was the time when Sérgio's family took vacations on the coast of Santos, the same period in which the country's club teams sign their main players. For Sérgio, the feeling of the holidays was playing at climbing his team: “you felt like a top hat putting together the team for the season”.
