The objective of this research is to reveal the interferences from other genres worked by Nelson Rodrigues, which have a minor relation with the truth - specifically theater - in theses about football, built in sport chronics by the writer. It also aims to expose the sense that Nelson used these resources in his texts about football, as well as the various forms of influences from the reading of classic world and national literature; or even the implicit references to philosophers, sociologists and, also, the intellectual friends, with whom he used to dialogue. To this end, it was analysed the chronic and script of Nelson Rodrigues, based on the theory of Antonio Candido, about the treatment of literature as a source, intersecting the text (author's autonomy and elements of art) and the context of the work.
