excited. After some negative prognoses, commentators begin to realize that Botafogo can fight for big things in the Brazilian Championship. The day after the 3-1 victory over Fortaleza, the ESPN program “ESPN F360”, on Monday morning, praised the work carried out by coach Luís Castro.
– Botafogo fans understand that there is an ongoing process. It is above expectations for what we had at the time. Fans’ expectations have grown a lot since JT’s arrival. But even this expectation may not have predicted such a quick fit. As much as the reinforcements haven’t fully delivered yet, he is already fully active, finding his place. Patrick de Paula starts to be important, with two goals in a row. Luís Castro is not guided only by populist decisions. Yesterday he could have put Matheus Nascimento, needing the result, and chose to strengthen the game in midfield, Patrick explores the inner game. It was a game of intelligence by Botafogo, knowing how to exploit Fortaleza’s deficiency, trying to explore the game through the middle. It is an example of how Luís Castro understands the cast and uses it not only to make media – highlighted Breiller Pires.
Abel Neto, another commentator at the table, said that Botafogo can fight for a spot in Libertadores in their year of return to Série A.
– What happened yesterday is already an example of the highest quality of the cast. Patrick entered the second half and decided, Tchê Tchê was the starter, Chay also started on the bench; Isn’t it a sample of the cast that starts to strengthen? Probably this package will continue in the middle of the year. It was a deserved victory, but with emotion. When I said that Botafogo would fight for Libertadores, I was massacred in that program – recalled Abel.
– They already won Ceará there, they already won the classic with Flamengo, which is to win the year for the fans… Yesterday they faced a difficult opponent, Fortaleza today is one of the main teams in the country, don’t be fooled by the table. Botafogo is winning the trust of the crowd with a result. If he were by name, Paula’s Patrick would never have sat on the bench, for example. It’s a very promising cast. More than dreaming of a spot in Libertadores… Why not? – observed Celso Unzelte.
– Eight classified, seven classified… At worst, six classified… You can pinch. I don’t think it has to be the objective, the objective has to be a smooth campaign, but it’s possible to dream – concluded presenter William Tavares.
