After about 20 days without playing, due to suspensions imposed by the TJD-RJ for his expulsion against Flamengo, Tiquinho Soares came back in style Botafogo. The striker scored three goals in the alvinegra victory by 7 to 1 over Brasiliense, for the Copa do Brasil, last Wednesday.
– Botafogo needed a victory like this, an elastic score and a convincing performance. The team never stopped playing, we always looked for the goal. I was happy to score three and be able to contribute to the team. For Botafogo, it is my first hat-trick, but I had already done it in four other matches in my career – Tiquinho told the “GE” website.
The player believes that the team will find the right path and win back the fans, after a turbulent start to the year.
– Saturday we have one more game and little by little we are bringing the crowd to our side. We have to play and get the wins. Things are going to change and we are working for that – he added.
