the hit of Bruno Lage as Botafogo to replace Luís Castro stirred up the Brazilian press this Friday. The Portuguese commanded Benfica and Wolverhampton with prominence, and the commentator Marcelo Raed saw similarities between Lage’s way of playing and Flamengo’s Jorge Jesuschampion of Libertadores and Brazilian of 2019.
– Since the news I looked for his games directing Benfica and Wolverhampton, he is a coach who changes the structure of his team a lot according to the pieces he has, but in the first year for Benfica, which was his great year, he played in a very structure similar to the one Jorge Jesus used in Flamengo, a 4-1-3-2 – explained Raed during the “Exchange of Passes”, continuing:
– O gabriel pires, by the way, was one of the main players of that team, playing the role of Gerson in Flamengo do Jesus, and had the role of a second striker on the inside who at the time was João Félix, and Botafogo does not have that second striker up front ( Edward?). Benfica’s defenders had a very high line, putting pressure on their opponents, and Botafogo’s defenders don’t have that characteristic, at least Victor Cuesta doesn’t. Let’s see how he will fit in Botafogo.
Another commentator at the table, Ricardo Gonzalez praised the choice of Botafogo.
– The expectation is the best possible, because we are talking about a coach with more experience than (Cláudio) Caçapa (interim) and a Botafogo that is in a comfortable position in the first place. There is no indication that Lage is a technician with only one scheme. I find Botafogo’s agility interesting. Atlético-MG was interested, they didn’t agree and now they agree. This is a very clear indication that those coming from outside look at a SAF club differently than an associative club, which changes coaches all the time. Botafogo today gives much more security for the coaches to work – said Gonzalez, pondering, however, that Lage arrives “under pressure”.
– Lage arrives with a little pressure, not that Botafogo has to be Brazilian champion, he is a foreign coach, who needs to adapt to Brazilian football, get to know the squad, but the club needs, due to its position in the table, to go to Libertadores . I think he needs to show it and he’s going to show it, because wherever he went he showed work. Reaching 10th place in the Premier League with Wolverhmapton is a lot – he added.
