I don't know sports, like at all, but:
P picks up the waiters phone looking for someone to contact so he doesn't die and thinks:
"I found a number that was circled a few times. Better that than one of the eight Zezés and Marias."
He then notices the nametag so he can offer their name and it's "Zezinho". Apparently they're a famous Brazilian football/soccer player whose name is first name is José. I think Zezé could be a shortening of that, and if that's the case it's probably referring to Joseph, Mary's husband. Basically one of the most Catholic names you can have.
And apparently I'm overthinking this as Zezé is straight up Hebrew for Joseph:
"This name derives from the Hebrew name “Yehôsêph”, meaning “Yehowah has added, he will enlarge, God will increase, may he add”, which in turn derives from “yâsaph”, meaning “to add, increase, do again, increase, do again”. "
Apparently, recursion has a name.
