“Brazilian Championship Leader Botafogo Prepares for Confrontation Against Athletico-PR in Brazil’s Cup”

O Botafogo is leader in Brazilian championship and in group A of Copa Sudamericana and decides the confrontation of the round of 16 of the Brazil’s Cup against Athletico-PR, this Wednesday, at Estádio Nilton Santos. The internal planning, mainly of the technician Luis Castroearned praise from the commentator Paulo Nunes.

– It calls my attention how Luís Castro is working in the three competitions, in which he is doing well. He has a chance of reversing against Athletico, he is very much at home, he depends on himself in the Sudamericana and the consistency in the Brazilian Championship shows that he will go very far. Luís Castro knows when to take a player off to rest, like wingers, he gives speed, dynamism. If you look at the midfield, it’s completely overhauled, with Tchê Tchê, Marlon Freitas and Lucas Fernandes. And yet he continues to give the same dynamics and style of play. Luís Castro said he would go as equals, but he doesn’t just say it, he demonstrates it at work – he praised Paulo Nunes, on the SporTV program “Troca de Passes”.

Botafogo’s next two games will be against Athletico-PR, a fourth at Nilton Santos for the Copa do Brasil and the other Saturday at Arena da Baixada for the Brazilian Championship.
